Yesterday was a good day on the internet. Vik and I chatted for hours while she was really trying to get some things done to finish moving to her ponderosa, but I think we both needed the day. I laughed, I cried, miss that girl and it's going to be along time yet before we get together. But that will give me time to teach her dulcimer how to play a few songs. The latest is "Wildwood Flower".

I've been a bit lazy lately when it comes to work on the mountain. Tomorrow the boys will come and do the mowing, weed eating and picking up all the fallen tree limbs. Even with no winds, the limbs seem to keep coming down. Just so they stay off the car and house. I have had to move them out of the drive a few times.

New "future" neighbors are up here now and making plans to build in the lot next to me. It will be nice to have them there and will only see the roof top of their home. I have known them for several years, and both are very nice people. She is from Russia, and they met online years ago. Not the usual....................................And he is as big around as he is tall, she is little. I am looking forward to them being here. Maybe I will have some new recipes for Vik to try out.

Mr. Redfox hasn't been around lately, and hope he doesn't. But I am ready just in case. There was something in the side yard, outside the fence, last night and Lukas woke me up at 4:00 this morning to go out. Whatever it was took off when I turned on the outside lights. But Lukas still let it know it was not welcome.

This afternoon I will be going over to another mountain to inspect another friends home that was just painted. They live in Florida and want it checked out before I give the painter his final check. I am sure it will be fine but will take pictures for them. They also had some wood on the deck replaced so will have to check that out to. Maybe I should become a home inspector, lol. I am sure I could do that since working with DH for so many years. I use to find things wrong that he would miss. This is the house we worked on the first time we came to this area.

Today, my t.v won't be on much. It's Michael Jackson Day! Enough of that...................

Well, time to go to the dump since we don't have that service. It's once a week trip at my house, and do it on the way in to town. Need batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone...................Sure do miss that girl! But won't be long and I will be missing one of her brothers. He calls me nearly every day, and always have email from him. He's leaving for a long hiatus in China. Going to miss that boy. The other one, oh well, I know where he is, and will be.

Nice post Mom! Doing housing inspections? Man, you would stay busy at my new house. And if you got a look under the sink at my plumbing job you'd fire me and have it all ripped out.

I know you miss me...I miss you too. Thank you so much for my care package! Your little boy will be far away, but you know with the internet we are able to catch up and stay in touch more than when we were all within the same borders. See if you can talk that other brat of yours into doing a blog.

LOVE YOU TONS!!!!!!!

Glad you could get caught up with Vicki-and Wildwood Flower, such a nice song.


I'm still waiting for the "funny story about one of the men" you mentioned earlier. :)

It sounds like you've had a busy time.
