Clever people can look it up on street view.
No plans or photos because it was brand new on the market.
Detached, parking, storage garage, garden, good condition. You can see the sea from the front gate.
The vendors have had an offer accepted on a house with no chain. They want to move quickly. Crossing every finger and toe.

Oh, Heather, it looks a dream!! I've never been to England and we can't drive the motor home over so I guess I'm gonna have to save my pennies.

. So excited for you. I hope it all works out.

We had a power failure last night and the battery backup on our clock didn’t work so I got up late. Actually, I got up about the right time but figured I’d go back to bed and the alarm would wake me up. Only it didn’t. So I changed to doing an extreme strength training DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class. My UPS was fried, not sure if it was because of the power outage or what. Fortunately, Vince had another one so I’m up and running. But I did lose internet connection

After class I’m going to go and see about getting rye bread for Vince and then to WalMart to get items so I can cook Saturday.

Katla – I hope your dog has an enjoyable fourth of July

Teresa – welcome! Come back soon and tell us more about yourself.

Heather – congrats on the house!

I got this bubba mug and evidentally the person before me had coffee in it. I don’t like coffee. It’s probably been about 1-1/2 years since I had even a taste of it. I just don’t care for it. But even when I did have some, it tasted too bitter to me. I had it at a Marriott hotel so I’m sure they don’t have poor quality coffee. Anyway, since Monday (or maybe it was Tuesday), I’ve had the mug filled with water and I put peppermint oil in it. I thought I’d taken care of the problem because last week at bowling I put a peppermint starlight (hard mint) in my water at bowling. But this week I could taste the coffee again. Fortunately, we don’t have bowling Monday because of the 4th, so hopefully, this will take care of it. Anyone else have any suggestions as to how to get rid of that nasty coffee taste?

Dana – have fun at the campground!

Mary – I am so sorry for you and your daughter. I’m really surprised that they aren’t moving quicker to get this taken care of. Vince had a bowel obstruction a while ago and he was in lots of pain

Rebecca – I’ll tell you my breakfast if you promise not to laugh. Mixed vegetables, Tone It Up protein, applesauce and blueberries. Stop chuckling under your breath….lol

Kate UK – lovely skirt

Went in the pool (natch), changed the pool filters, now Rover is running, put air in my float, got things ready to take to the Salvation Army tomorrow

Janetr – you look great. HB to Jack

Need to color my roots and take a shower.

Michele in NC

No judgements here!

Love, Rebecca

Hi Gals,

Machka – I loved your “how we met story” such a great happenstance! And the cabin is cute!

Janetr – is your grand daughter’s wedding at your house?

Lisa and Corey – Happy belated anniversary

Pip – hang in there!

Carol – I know where I want to stay if I ever come to GA - your house!

Terry – glad to see you here, take care and remember we are all thinking about you

Heather – WOW!!!!! I looked at street view – very nice!!!!

Mary – Glad you got the information you did to understand the situation, sending good thoughts to Sarah and your family

Michele – I think you donate the mug to somewhere and get a new one.

Smiles

Kim from N. California

janetr7476 · June 2018

Kim, no the wedding is not at my house, it will be in a park in the little town my granddaughter lives in about 40 minutes from my house. The reception will be at the VFW Post in same little town. I !ive in Oklahoma City area, my oldest daughter (mom of bride) lives in Denver, CO and youngest (mom of the son married last week) lives in Lubbock TX so they will all be staying at my house. Five guests for three nights. The motor home serves as a guest house in these circumstances along with our guest room. I LOVE having them all here and my daughters laugh and giggle like teenagers when they're together, does my heart good

Well my breakfast this morning. What did y'all have?

Nothing ... as usual.

Oh, except for my black coffee and tall glass of cold water.

Not feeling so hot this morning...going to try and stay in bed for a bit...see if I can rest for awhile...

cityjaneLondon · June 2018

Hi all,
Still taking in that we may, I say may, have a house. Still loving it. For those who are technically challenged, this is it.

Had fun with the grandchildren. Edie was recovering from a virus and had a cough and had had croup earlier in the week. She had been banned from sweets for a month because she ate Pringles without asking. She is addicted to salt and is restricted, so this was particularly naughty.

Max is banned from his X box games for a month because he ran off somewhere without telling anyone.

DH had a conversation with him about why this was so bad.

Bea is just naughty.

I will post a pic later of us playing our favourite game, Baby Hospital, while DH went to pick Max up from school. Bea was an enthusiastic contributor.

Had fish and chips for dinner and watched the England game. Then drove home late.
V tired.

Going to ask the agents if they have even a preliminary plan of the interior. Can't remember what we are buying!

Good morning!
Am trying to stay productive....thank you for the support! Car show tomorrow so skipping work, yay! Husband wanted help cleaning car last night...I told him no. I had things that needed to be done. Vacuumed house, cleaned kitchen, finished laundry, paid property taxes-ugh! Did work paperwork for 90 mins before bed.
Breakfast is not my favorite meal time. I am not hungry in morning. About 1030 I am ready to eat. I like leftovers then. Breakfast foods are our go to dinner. Fast and easy.
It is hard when our kids are hurting. Prayers for healing.
CBD - it was recommended to me for migraines and knee pain. May need to try.

Went back to sleep after doggie got me up at 4. Slept in. Oops. Time to get ready for work.
Stay hydrated in the heat. Stay warm in the cold. Prayers and hugs for those in need. Congratulations and smiles for all the great works both large and small.
Donovan, my son in law that works with us is from Bentonville. He has been keeping me updated on world series. Haven't seen news yet today......

Have a blessed day!
Kylia in Ohio still swimming but having great support!

LisaInAR · June 2018

Heather - I feel ya... that's why I drew out the plan of the house that we're contracted for, so I could remember! Otherwise, as soon as you walk away, you start saying, "Do you remember whether that second bedroom was facing the garden?" Plus, if you and your DH are like me and mine, you see completely different things when you walk through, so you notice things he doesn't, and vice versa.

It really does look lovely--while still being something that is so opposite of what me and my husband wanted that it is funny. How close will you be to the grands?

Speaking of which, one of the things my husband told me was that he doesn't need a separate bathtub in the master bedroom, he'll just use the one in the hall bath (he takes a bath every Saturday night, but showers the rest of the week). So now I need to re-think my grand plan for the master suite... one of the things I love to do.

He knows me pretty well.

Today, I'm remembering one of the many reasons I love my job: 4-day work weeks.

Might even accomplish something today.

Doubt it, though.

Love y'all,
Lisa in Arkansas

Loving my back porch while having a second cup of coffee listening to the morning doves and the sprinkler watering the veggie garden. All is calm and quiet. The arrival of 5 college kids to our home late last nite was uneventful—completely quiet and respectful, lovely!! They headed to nyc very early this morning to hear a free concert On the today show, recording it in case they get on air!

Soon I’ve got to get packing and organized for our weekend trip to Boston. Lots to talk about with DH. He is once again contemplating a job change.

Michele, is the mug stainless steel? If so, I would try a little bleach and boiling water. Let the bleach water sit until the water is cold, then wash it good with soapy water and rinse with hot water. I’ve done this in the past to remove stains from my stainless steel coffee mugs. If that doesn’t work, then I would follow Barbie’s advice and toss it. Lifes’s too short to worry over it much.

Turns out I've got severe arthritis in my right foot and moderate arthritis in my left foot. I'm hoping to see a podiatrist soon. No shoes are comfortable and every step hurts. But nevertheless, I need to walk ... it's how I get around. I'm not sure that any of the 110 km I've done this month have been "recreational". I think they've all been "utility" walking.

I've given up on running for the time being ... until a podiatrist checks things out.

Dana in AR: I just looked up the game and Oregon State was the winner. I'm sure everyone played well. Here in Oregon, there are Ducks and Beavers. We are Ducks fans because we're graduates of the U of O. In this case, I am pleased for the Beavs, even thought they aren't my team. :flowerforyou:

Heather: The home on Hogarth Road is charming and it looks like a well cared for neighborhood. Crossing my fingers and toes that this works out just as you wish.

Mary: Sending good wishes and prayers for Sarah.

RV Rita: Glad you made it safely to Winslow, AZ. :bigsmile:

Lanette: There is a casino just across the river that shoots off excellent fireworks that we can see from our windows, but they are not the noisemakers that upset our dog. It is regular people camped along the shoreline of the river that make his life miserable. :ohwell: We won't be here to see or hear any of it this fourth of July. We'll be on our first trip in the RV. When I went to the local retailers looking for CBD oil for the dog, the prices for an ounce or less were above $90. I didn't buy. :noway: Instead we have embarked on an RV adventure and are getting out of town. The CBD oil would have been a lot less expensive, but the RV is really perking DH up. Yay! :bigsmile:

:bigsmile: Our former cleaning lady is a grower of medical MJ. I don't think she makes oil, though. :ohwell:

Meg: I think I've already mentioned that I take generic Welbutrin. It has done wonders for me. I hope it helps you, too. (((HUGS)))

Wendy: Good luck. I hope you are able to get information that will help your efforts to improve your health.

Rebecca: Living with adult children clearly has challenges. Yes, you are a mom and you worry. But your son is a man who makes his own decisions, and seems to have done pretty well. My son is career Army and has had some assignments that scared me silly. He knows I care, but doesn't want my advice (or my worry), so I don't offer it unless asked. Sometimes it is VERY HARD to be a good mom. (((HUGS)))

Janet: You are looking absolutely gorgeous! :flowerforyou:

Michele: Thanks for your good wishes for the dog's July 4th. We are going on an adventure & I hope we all enjoy the experience, including the dog. It will be our first trip in our RV, and is not too far from home, but far enough to be quiet. :flowerforyou:

Alison: I love reading your happy posts. Let the good times roll! :bigsmile:

We have custody of our RV as of yesterday, and we parked it in the storage unit on the first try. YIkes! That thing seemed so ordinary in the street & at the yard where they worked on it. Getting into the storage unit was amazing. This is the first time we've ever had the door all the way up. I had to use a long pole to push it up to the top. There are still some issues with electricity in the bedroom, but we're going to have fun now and worry about fixing the electricity in the bedroom next fall/winter.

So busy. 8 hour+ days, 6 days this week and little time for anything else.

Thanks Barbara and Evelyn, I too think Kidd Kirby is a complete doll, but I know I start from a very biased place.

Today, even Charlie Underfoot wishes I’d just slow down and play with him.

The garage is still flooding when we run the clothes washer so Sunday will be spent at the laundrymat. We don’t have a spare five to ten grand to run a new sewer connection line to it, so we are out of luck. I am very glad we have 4 sets of sheets (especially since the cats share our bed) but will curse when we have to spend the hours there necessary to get everything washed.

Scale is behaving. Exercise is minimal beyond the strength training. Might be able to get a bit of swim in on the 4th, I hope. (Of course I’ll be working on the 4th too, just not a full shift because they are closing earlier).

So I’ll wish you all the best, not sure how much I’ll be around but I do usually have a slow down in the early evening at work where I can catch up reading about y’all - but my participation will be curtailed by the demands on my time.

If I grab a good kitty pic I may try to share it with you, but prob won’t have much time for more until and unless I can adjust to this schedule.

Love, best wishes, hugs and congrats to all,

Rye

I just tried bar keepers friend on a stainless steel pot I had let go dry on the stove the other day. The inside did not sustain any damage, but the pot had a nice black coat on it. With the bar keepers friend it got most of the black off. Thanks for helping me remember how well it works on stainless steel. It also works on porcelain, but check in a spot first and do not rub hard on the porcelain.
