I thought this was cute; spotted it in a post on CF ~ duckling feeding Koi
Good to hear from everyone...I have been up since 2:30 am...Just could not sleep in the chair much last night...the dry wall people are coming today...we are about 1/2 through the process...the new things really do look so nice, I have never had a new house...just remodled or up graded what we had...I think I have not missed much tho...we have been fed and comfortable for years...I do not take that for granted...it is God's mercy to us.
anglewind, new houses are only new for a little while.my parents had one built when I was 10. Seemed cool at the time but its an old house now. lol... It is all relative.... My dream house is new of course, because its the one i picked out from a house plan book... but if someone built it, fixed all the quirks and then sold it to me I would be just as happy. I think I like brick best of all. The dream home is light stucco with spanish arches all throughout. Right now I live in a trailer. I suppose it was new once (before I paid half price for it)
love connie
Sure hope the car isn't too pricey of a fix.
And as for living arrangements, we bought a trailer new, and now it is twenty years old, & still going good for us.
Scaling down from a house is easy in a lot of ways. Maintaining, insuring and heating is less. As years go by we need less things, so smaller is better for us.
I know the new house will be such a joy for Angelwind, am so happy for that.
A good day to all, and blessings too.
We still live in a house, but we have gotten rid of many things...and we are not pack rats...
We are not getting a new house, just remodeling the bathroom that really needs it, dripping pipes and crumbling tiles were everywhere.
My son's inlaws are very into decorating and always having the newest things, we cannot compare to them...
Top of the morning Eagles. I take it everyone is well. Were's Dave? I'm painting a very large project right now...it's 3' x 4' and barely fit in my car. I've started with a neutral gray wash as they are supposed to be in a cave. It's the Aztek Indians OR Mayan culture celebrating their annual "Dia Del Muertos" or "Day of the Dead". It's a work in progress and has me pretty much chained to my easel most evenings but hey...it beats watching t.v. IMHO. I'm struggling with creating some depth now as the mariachi band seem to floating in thin air. The coffin needs more detail too. Sigh....so much to do and so little time to do it all. Here's what I have so far peeps....
my son's girlfriends were always rich... I always felt inferior... it was a mistake to allow myself to adopt that mindset. I was always apologizing to him for our status and sucking up to the rich folks as not to embarrass him. they weren't better, but they were meaner and my feeling inferior contributed to the lack of respect he now has for me. you are wonderful Shirley, please don't feel different than that.
Good for youI can't believe it was like a Spring Day here - 74F. We took advantage of a gorgeous day and took a drive in our Wildlife Refuge. Today was a great day for seeing and watching a variety of animals (i.e. deer, longhorn, buffalo, prairie dogs). We saw a few very young longhorn and deer that sure were fun to watch. We took the long way home and took a drive through the country.
Continued pryers for your health and the house repairs to be completed soonGood to hear from everyone...I have been up since 2:30 am...Just could not sleep in the chair much last night...the dry wall people are coming today...we are about 1/2 through the process...the new things really do look so nice, I have never had a new house...just remodled or up graded what we had...I think I have not missed much tho...we have been fed and comfortable for years...I do not take that for granted...it is God's mercy to us.
