Sorry, time out for a new baby...I'm finally catching up now!!! Sandi, the cushions will be black and white check on one side and yellow and white check on the other, with the yellow/cherry print for the ties and cording! Kathleen be sure you DO tell your sister, and give her my email address! We would love to meet her and make her feel like a welcome Texan!! DH and I go to Arlington fairly often, and maybe she would like to venture down here...we are only about 100 miles south and right on an interstate that she can easily reach! As to the camera...I think I have a solution, but somebody is going to have to help me! DS told me that I can have my 35MM pictures printed to disc and then I should be able to load them some sort of way so that they can be posted. He is going to help me as soon as he has time!

Sorry my friend - just got back on today after the weekend. Yes, Hubbard Clause is used here in CT (not sure if elsewhere) - where the buyers have a house to sell of their own. So here's what went down this weekend. We had to go to first couple and they exercised thier Hubbard Clause rights to try to secure a mortage in 48 hours. They were unable to. We then were able to accept the second offer at full asking price - they have a pre-qual letter and put 10% down. In our town over the past few years most sold but it was after bidding wars and sold for over asking price. Right now there is not a lot in inventory even though most surrounding towns do have quite a bit. Some research has shown that the houses that have sold are selling for less than aksing, are on the market quite a few days and have had some price drops. So for us with regard to selling has been good. Not sure what the market will bear with regard to us buying. We have a plan to put our things in storage and move in with in-laws until something comes up. Again, our town is small and we are trying to stay in it.

I wish I had another job to go to. This was a good job, and I doubt I'll find something better, but it was a long drive, and too little money, and a boss who wanted me gone, so I guess even being broke would be better. I still have two paychecks coming, plus a small check once a month from Worker's Comp, so I should be fine for another month while I find something else, and sell everything I own! LOL Heck, I might even get a couple of roommates. At least I'd have someone to take care of the animals if I went on a trip. It gets sort of lonely here by myself sometimes. I'm a survivor. I made a vow to myself a long time ago, after being raised in an abusive family, marrying an abusive man, and having relationships with several verbally if not physically abusive men, that I would just REFUSE THE ABUSE, as Oprah says. I should start a website named that, for all people like me who are tired of being treated like crap.

It's good to hear that things are fine with ya and you are just too busy to post! Looking forward to seeing what your next project will be come November!!!! LOL Barb
