Day 204

It makes me question my whole decision making process....when I go to my orthopedic doctor..and he has THIS art in his lobby....

I mean...

come on...

THIS....

in your lobby?  Is the best you can do?

Really?

Day 203

Not too much with the house today....I picked up about 60 pounds of lawn clippings...dumped them in my woods...

That's right...my new lot has woods...so...I created a huge mulch pile...

Here's another shot from our DC trip...Arlington is a spectacularly moving place to visit...

Days 200 -202

What a weekend...

We got all sorts of help...and accomplished all sorts of stuff...

Got my hands on a Z-turn mower...Totally awesome...

I mowed the yard...twice...

and as you can tell from this wonderful photo....over 1/2 the yard was taller than me sitting on the mower...

We got 3 or 4 nice sized loads of stuff brought over...and it's starting to feel like our place...

Haven't met too many neighbors yet...hopefully they won't hate us.  :o)

Days 187-199

So...I was boycotting my own blog for a while there...No good reason...other than the fact that I was SICK of saying that I had no news about the house...

Well....that's all different now...

We are officially Land Barons...owning property in 2 states...

I'm sure the troubles are just beginning...but they are our troubles...and we can get out of this silly townhouse...

Our move-in date is tentatively going to be next saturday....

We'll be using the next week to clean, paint...and prepare the house for our arrival...

We are both happy...and we really did get a spectacular deal on a beautiful home...

Oh...and last week Janet and I went to DC so she could receive an award for being a Star employee at her company...it's quite an honor...and I'll be sharing more photos soon...

Day 186

Make sure that if you apply here...you have rules....

Day 185

Never Before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Days 183 and 184

Saturday night at the LSU game there was a jet fly-by....it was as impressive a thing as I've seen in some time...

and seeing as how we were seated in the upper deck...the soundwave shook my shirt when it blasted by...

it was awesome...

The new TV show the Mentalist is pretty good...
