No, I got a really incredibly good deal on the house I am buying, mostly because it was my grandpap's and the family wanted to keep the house in the family.I think perhaps Tx and Pa have a simlar cost of living.

My mortgage price includes $30k that I am putting into the house in upgrades in windows, furnace, a garage, fenced in yard etc. That should give you an idea of just how little I paid for the house itself. I just wish there was a way I could thank my grandpap and have him understand...Yeah, we got that deal, too. My grandad had been the first owner, then dad owned it. We got it for about 50,000 less than the going rate.
Congratulations. I usually find out after the fact that my icons were used, and then just hope that they give my name. A few weeks ago the Church Messenger apparently used an icon of the Dormition that I painted, but said that it it was painted by Paul Garrett, which is my Dad's name. I had someone ask me at church whether he was painting icons, or I never would have known. Apparently they corrected it, but I had already called to congratulate my Dad.The royalty check is for an icon being published on the cover of a book. You gotta love that!
Thank you. And yes, I know what you mean about people using your work and then finding out about it later. It is a shame poople don't respect artists enough to give them the proper credit for their work, and to reimburse them for using their work.Congratulations.

Yea, brrrrrreeeeezzzzzeeeeeee is the word...I came home from work and looked at my son, who agreed that we should have closed it down LAST weekend, but neither of us was in town!
Everything in the neighborhood is flying into it right now. My, what a breeze.
Don, do any women cover at the parish you attend? As far as I've understood they're not as ethnic as the cathedral down here on Granby. I'm heading down to Chesapeake to the ROCOR church this Sunday.On a brighter note (than the weather), I get to go to DL this Sunday. It's been two weeks since I've been. The radio station has honored my request to be put on a "call me when you need me" part-time status, so I can begin attending every Sunday. I feel bad that they asked me to come to the Men's Club meeting the last time I was at church (the meeting was last Monday), but because I had to be out of town for the weekend, I had promised my son I'd take him through the neighborhood so he could sell popcorn for his boy scout troop.

On another note... I finally got to change colors on my embroidery after a week and a half with the same one. That bluish green was getting a bit booooring. But I've been plugging away on the work every day so hopefully it will be getting there soon. I'm working on the big areas like the clothes right now (It's the icon of the Holy Trinity).
Well, you have to let us know when 'need basis' comes around so we can listen again!
I took down my windsocks and wind chime because it would have just driven everyone nuts or even flown off.
