What would you do if you rescued someone....

and discovered he was the richest man in the world and he offered to either buy you land and build a house or fix up the house your in now?

Well... lucky for me there is one empty lot left in my neighborhood!! Because my kids would hate moving away from their friends and our neighbors are much like family so.. I think I'd buy the empty lot across the street. It's huge and backs up to the woods... rumor is it needs some fancy, dancy septic system because it won't properly "perk" and that is why no one has bought it... but what do I care about the cost, I just saved the life of the richest man in the world!! I really wouldn't build a huge, huge house.... nothing overly fancy, not a lot of fru-fru either. I'd like to have four bedrooms (one for each kid, a guest bedroom and a master suite... a real master suite with a large bathroom and huge closets and an area to have a couple of cozy chairs and a fireplace... ok, now I'm getting fancy, aren't I?) And I'd have a larger kitchen with room for people to gather since that's where everyone ends up anyway... lots of wood, rich warm colors, tile backsplash, brand new appliances. I'd have a family room and a small living room/dining room (we'd never use it, but what the heck?) and I'd have a sunroom since Michigan winters are long and dreary... a heated sunroom where I could sit in my jacuzzi and watch the kids play in the snow (there I go... getting fancy again). I'd have a finished basement with seperate areas for teens and younger kids... lots of room for electronics and large screen tv. And of course, I'd have my very own computer room... no wait, I'd have computers in every room so I could sit and play where ever I desired.. yep, that's the thing!! LOL!! What happened to "nothing to fancy?" Actually.... the only thing I'd do is buy the lot across the street and turn it into a neighborhood park with a swimming pool for everyone and a baseball diamond. I like my house pretty well as it is... and I certainly don't need more space to clean! Although that sunroom would be pretty nice.....
