Hi everyone! Just sitting here counting down the days until work is done. :) I think my hubby is more excited than I am, LOL. Everyone tells me it's about time I do something good for myself, but it's still a weird thing to wrap my head around. :rolleyes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frank, Sorry to hear about the hospital trip. Hope you feel better soon. :hug:

Vonn, A move closer to a support network is probably just the thing ya need. But I understand the single/couple odd ball feeling. I'm sure they don't mind tho.

Kay, What a project! Hope things get better for ya, water wise. Thanks for the pics.

ah, you're sweet, but my little annoyances aren't any worse than those of northern climes, just different.

on the plus side, I haven't had to shovel SNOW in 3 winters.

haven't had to put on TIRE chains once!

haven't had my PIPES freeze, or BURST!

haven't had to scrape ICE offa my windshield!

haven't had snow blow down my power poles.

no RAINS of ashes from nearby wildfires... no sirens, no traffic, and no hustle-bustle.

no tornadoes, no sandstorms, no flooding... and best of all, no BUSH.

:D:p:D

ain't retirement GRAND ?!?!?

just look at all the fun *I'm* having!

:D:cool::D

well, it's after 4:20, and not in a GOOD way, either!

they didn't come to hook up the water, and now it's so late, it means they won't be comin' today.

:(:mad::(

even though we DID manage to get everything at OUR end completed and ready...

so, it'll be another baby-wipe bath for Kay tomorrow!

geez, I wish it'd RAIN around here.

my POND looks like a Peas Porridge PUDDLE !!

:winky::rolleyes::winky:

Love 2- Thanks for the advice I did talk to my neuro and she said just let me handle your meds from now on your doctor doesn't sound like she wants to be a doctor much!

Sandy -your one to talk about Kay makin you tired..you are the energizer bunny!

Kayo-quite impressive work you keepin doing at the old casa! I think it's all that fresh mango juice!

Fin- I bet hubby is as excited as a kid at Christmas I hope you enjoy "retirement"!

Good Morning all :) Still a little off, but emotionally better. Had a good time watching a movie with hubby last night.

Now watching the dreary sky outside and hoping my coffee wakes me up here soon. Hubby came up to me a little while ago and told me that coffee stays hot longer if you put the pot back in the coffeemaker. LOL, apparently I left it right in front of it. :D

Hurry up, coffee :D

I'm glad that everyone is SO smart and wise!! all input is taken, measured and shaken ...

my friends in BD were the ones that really 'talked' their walk ... when I asked for help last year, they were the first to help out with $$ .. and now I wish I would of left then ... and not went thru last summer here - but that didn't happen and I learned that I can't handle the heat very well and fell so far behind on my runners and projects ..

I'm not rushing things - but am downsizing more and cleaning the best I can .. I have a feeling that my landlady is waiting for just the right time to drop the bombshell on me that she didn't renew my lease (in fact - I should of received something back in March .. still nothing) ..

found out that she sold 250ft of lake frontage to build condos ... uh, between 275-300,000 per unit ... starting with 2 units now ... and they (builders) are now interested with property across the road .. that's where I am! no one wants to stay - found out that some friends didn't renew their lease either! and those that did, said they'll stay for one more year and then they are out ..

sorry that I ramble on ... there's no one that I can talk to as a human being that will be straight with me up here ...

***UPDATE***
while I was lying in bed (okay, on the loveseat - where I've slept since Sept) ... I smiled about moving ... I would be closer to my painting instructor ... I wish I could post what I've done .. but I don't know how ... let's see - I'll try:
okay .. this one is when I was a HOG member in Beaver Dam - this is all hand-lettered ... and sketched .. the finished size is 4ft x 4ft .. whatcha think?

Vonn, sounds like your landlady is a piece of work with all those people leaving. Getting out sounds like a very good thing.

Like the sketch. Pretty cool. :cool:

hey all had a neurosurgery appt with Dayton this morning so they could check his noggin out...it's still intact LOL! Dummy me though I am so used to bringing MY MRI's that I brought mine and not Daytons! I prolly won't be on this weekend will know for sure tomorrow, I think we are going to South Carolina for the weekend!

Going to look at that house Renee?
