I must say in all of my time Dear Reader that I've never been so shocked before! I've heard drama from a lot of sources on various topics, but today I received the most shocking new I think this Author has ever heard! So recently I sent out scouts to Chestnut Ridge to keep an eye on drama there and renovations of course.
I honestly didn't expect to get much drama from the small ranching town because they honestly seemed like pretty calm folks when I went there on vacation a while ago, not really the drama causing type. But I still wanted scouts there just in case. And thank goodness I did because the gossip I gathered today was some of the most interesting!
So without further ado, let's get right in!
I've written about Miss Cristina Watson of Chestnut Ridge before on the blog (here) and I while I've never met her myself I can verify that's she's a very sweet person as well as owning one of the sweetest horses aka Speedway! However the sweetest people don't make for the most interesting stories, or rather dramatic tales 😂
But luckily for me, she's dating someone that despite his loner, shy, and quiet nature, has created a quiet ripple effect of drama for me to report on! The man of the hours is of course, Michael Bell of Henford on Bagley, who the town lovingly refers to as the 'creature keeper' due to his love of animals.
So as you might know, they started dating after Harvestfest (they actually met the day of funnily enough! how's that for something to be thankful for?) and they've been seen on a multitude of dates around town and the surrounding cities.
Recently however I heard a rumor that a house in Oasis Springs (the town near by Chestnut Ridge) had been purchased by none other than Mr. Michael Bell!
The house itself, is a beautiful vista home called Rio Verde (meaning green river and boy does Michael have that green river 😉), that has been for sale more often than you would think, complete with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, a large front patio and upstairs wrap around balcony. As soon as I heard what house he had bought from my sources I went to searching online. Sure enough Nathan Bennett who had been managing the property had uploaded the details and value of the property online and when I saw the price tag my jaw dropped!
The building itself is already 172k but furnished Nathan was charging a whopping 275k! So now you see why when I saw it I knew I had to let you all know about it! Because prior to this investment, Michael had been living in a small cottage outside Bramblewood area, and seemingly didn't have that much money!
I suppose he was truly living below his means before this purchase something a few of us, cough cough The Landgraabs cough cough, could stand to learn!
But that's enough about the house! To finish up this tea sharing session, I wanted to let you know that Michael moved in with Cristina, and according to her bestie Wren Garcia word is Michael is preparing a proposal soon!
