I was scrolling through old photos and found these of our house in Mexico. We sold the house the year before the boys were born--thank GOD--because it was a drain on our finances and a nightmare to maintain. We had it rented to three different people/families since we left Mexico. The first was a super nice American family--missionaries, essentially--who always were responsible and nice. Then we rented to a lady who was crazy...we think she was someone's mistress. She paid the rent on time for a while, but eventually stopped. When she left, she took nearly EVERYTHING with her, including the light bulbs. She also left a dead dog behind in the yard...it was tied to the gate. It probably starved or was dehydrated to death. She left it there and threw lime on it so it wouldn't smell as it decomposed. Sick, sick woman. The third tenant was a guy. He also stopped paying the rent after a while, and it turns out he stopped paying because he was in jail for stealing a car?!? We were very close to evicting him--everything was set to start the process--when he finally left. The neighborhood surrounding the house went from nice to a dump after we moved out. There were tons of empty houses. What a shame. It was a miracle that we found someone to buy it. It was a nice house, though.
