I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

So wishing I was there with you ladies.  I see some new faces that I would have loved to meet...as well as catching up with the usual gang.  Have a great weekend.  

Buchanan a racist?  Who knew? (sarcasm, ofcourse).

The thought that he got votes in Boca Raton, FL, at Al Gore's expense, in 2000, is laughable (re: butterfly ballot).  He is a well-documented Jew hater.  Be careful who you align your own racist feelings with, is all I gotta say.

Thought of Athena when I saw this:

Saying hi to you Athena and sending hugs.

Thanks girls - he is a handful though.

Forgot to say how lovely E's gathering was - wish we could have all been there.

Work this morning and then I'm on leave for the rest of the week. Our son arrives this afternoon with the other grandson - can't wait.

second amen to notself.

I really don't get when Congress hasn't forced the drug companies to allow negotiated prices for Medicare.  I understand how mush $$$$ their lobby spends - but it is so CLEARLY in the public good, it MUST poll well, and the $$$$ it would save the gov. should have every Tea Party raving for it.  It's a boondoggle - and worse!

I can't wait to see Alexander - we have held him since he was 4 months old. Not long now - I leave work in an hour, go home and then head to the airport to collect them.

Nicholas is totally gorgeous, I agree.

I totally missed the gathering subject and I thought I had read every post!!???

Beautiful babies, Suzie.  :-)

Kam - the same thing happened to me.  I thought I had read everything, and then all of a sudden there was a bunch that I hadn't seen.

So....  it looks like we've finally picked out a house.  This one has made it past the primary inspection.  Sewer inspection is tomorrow.  Then the last hurdle will be the appraisal - and I don't see it not appraising.  I thought I'd give you a glimpse of our new (hopefully) home. 

Thanks - we really like this one.  Definitely our favorite of all the houses we looked at.  The only thing we plan on doing is ripping out the carpet and putting in hardwood or bamboo and tile.  Hubby may choose to raise the garage door so that our truck + camper can fit inside as well.

I also really like that the master bedroom also opens onto the deck.  In our old house we were going to do that but never got around to it.  So often builders place the house way back on the lot so that there is this ginormous front yard and an itsy bitsy back yard.  This one is more balanced.  It also has an inground sprinkling system (which the last people who lived here - renters - didn't appear to use), so I hopefully won't have to be hauling hoses all over the place.  I'm hoping to put in some raised beds so that I can grow some vegies next year - but we'll see.  I have a bad habit of starting projects that I either cannot finish or need hubby to help, and he's pretty much done in on projects.  I definitely want/need  to plant some thyme, oregano, rosemary and a bay tree, but those don't need raised beds - just a handy spot to dig a few holes.

Gumby ... I love your house, sure hope it gets through the inspection and appraisal coming up!

Here's a picture of me, Libby and Enjoyful.  What a great weekend we had!

Hope everyone is having a good day .. I'm busy with work today!

hugs to everyone,

Bren

Beautiful house, GG!!  Love the tile in the kitchen!  I so hope everything goes well and you can move in soon. 

:-)

Hahaha, I need to remember this!
