Some good news and some bad
Comments (12)Ida, I am so disapointed that I will not be able to order from you again. I am also pleased that God sent you my way so that we could become aquainted. He makes no mistakes. I am happy for you and Damond that you will be able to spend time enjoying your life together and that you will have more free time. I will keep you in my prayers that our kind and generous God will give you the peace and grace that you so richly deserve. I will look for you on the LA also. God be with you and Damond on this new adventure!!....Ellie...See MoreGood News, bad news, and some ticked off birds.
Comments (5)You're going to have more trouble than the birds are. Birds are immune to the effects of capsaicin, unlike mammals (I figured out that the squirrel digging in my potted peppers was burying nuts in the nice soft dirt, he didn't nibble. But the turkeys were eating the peppers in the garden til I put the deer netting we'd taken down for Irene back up.). In fact, they often include dried chiles in parrot mixes. Too bad for your friend, though....See Morefinally, some good news!
Comments (9)I've been looking a little, but I think we're really gonna have to lower our price another $25K to move our house quickly, so that's $25K off a "new house" to keep our payments in budget. This house no longer fits our needs and would cost too much to change. It would be much less to sell, pay off all our debt, and start out with a house with "good bones" that fits our lifestyle with kids (current home was purchased pre-kids). Plus, our current home faces east/west, which we absolutely hate here in Phoenix. Our family room is always 10 degrees different than the rest of the house. It's awful. We just want a blank slate and start over. But we should still be able to find something very reasonable close by....See MoreI could use some good news. You got some?
Comments (42)Hi Rob, Not much to add ... and hope that you're back at least part way out of your blue funk. Brother, retired farmer who lives 1600 miles way, has one son, only child, in a city 100 miles from here, a couple of small grand-daughters from son's second marriage, and comes to visit them a couple of times a year. He'd called to say he was to be in the neighbourhood, and we got together on Friday, I called son and he and his partner were there for lunch, as was brother and wife ... and a couple of favourite cousins were, as well. Brother spent a few years when he was very young with the family of our Mom's brother and their two children when she was ill, so he considers one as almost a sister: the son, a local farmer, died several years ago. The other cousin lives locally and I see her at church fairly often - she, who had voice training, has sung in the choir for 75 years. The brother and I went to deal with some complications over inheritance of cemetery plots that Dad owned ... and it looks as though resolution is to be easier than we figured. Then we sat and had a chat ... and he's rather worried about future viability of his son's marriage. We don't see one another often, but we've been close, over the years. Our brother died over forty years ago, when his kids were in their teens, and our ready-made sister that came with our stepmom lives near brother in Saskatchewan. It's a red letter day when we get together. ole joyful...See More
