Yes me too,,,however I can't really be demanding about it,,,,other than asking my angels to please bring the right people....after that...what will be, will be...from Sandy (Our kind of coffee or tea here won't hurt you.)no it surely won't,,,we can pile all the whipped cream and chocolate shavings that we want....and the most scrumpdilyiscious desserts you ever heard of.
SandyOK, here goes....I don't think we even mentioned it on the phone either, that call was more for you and Laura,,,I thought I stayed pretty quiet for me!!!You know, we never did talk about your house and what is going on at the moment with the possible sale. I have photos of PPs place on my computer .
Yes putting our place on the market has been quite the experience...to say the least....and we've been taking pictures as we've been going along...changes, changes, changes.
I certainly can't remember what pics I sent you,,,probably the early days....I'm just waiting for some sun to take new ones.
Allan has power washed the house,,,,it being cedar and we wanted to keep it natural,,,what a difference....he painted the whole inside walls,,,before our ops....him with a break in his right arm and all.....he put in a new tub and surround in the bathroom downstairs, plus new lino there and through the laundry room downstairs......plus new carpet in what was 'my space' downstairs.....through xmas, we had all the ceilings painted. the painter was so tall he didn't even need a ladder for the vaulted ceilings.....
After xmas we (he) finished tearing down the dog kennels and runs,,,I even took pictures of that process.....that was a bit
the true end of an era with our Sammy's,,,,but hey, I have tons of pictures which bring back memories...and no, I don't want another dog...it's kind of like when the kids grow up and leave home,,,,it's time for US
we listed it 'by owner' to begin with, and we should have waited....live and learn....but it did accomplish one really big thing...I got it de-cluttered before my operation,,,cuz after it I was quite immobilized....could do some one finger poking on the computer, but not much, it tired me out and strained my neck and arms,,,,hence,,,you very rarely heard from me here.. (and I need a break right now)
You just can't imagine what a nightmare that de-clutter was,,,and fortunately I had two good friends help me,,,,and they got first pick..then it just got sorted as 1. to keep, (storage and to take with us) 2. give away, and 3, just gone. When we get to do the last clear out, we'll donate to a free store,,,ie furniture etc...
probably the hardest things to say goodby to,,, are the lake and my hot tub.....wahhhhhhh however,,,I'll make do,,,I always do...I'll just find new friends with one where ever we travel,,,,or the occaissional hotel's hot tub...or some nice hot springs as we travel along ...yep that sounds like the best idea so far,,,find some hot springs after a day of rockhounding....ohhh yeahhhh
Actually there will be lots of things to miss but remember happily.....like the eagles stealing the trout out of our lake...a barred owl who posed for me,,,,and a baby great horned owl, who left me 3 feathers one day,,,,,the young fawns, that every early summer Mom would bring them out of the woods and teach them where all the good stuff is to eat....yep you guessed it,,,,anything that came up...daffy's, iris's,,,,anything that was just budding out
theunimI hope she finds a great person or set of people that will take care of the land and the home well!
Oh Sandy.. what you thought as a kid is what I have mused over quite a bit in my current youth. Yes, even today, as "plugged in" as I am to the digital age and modern way.. I still look to the popular mythical view of the "old Wild West" as a fantasy life. Of course, I'm aware that there was obviously a lot more to those times than what was so portrayed in the spaghetti film classics and gunslingin' tunes.. but excusing the desperado and saloon imagery, it is still a maybe-it-won't-happen-but-wouldn't-it-be-cool dream of mine to own a ranch somewhere peaceful down south (of the States, that is) and perhaps.. tend to horses, while working in my own home music recording studio... oh dreamsSandy wrote:I have never lived by the desert and the idea of tumbleweeds fascinates me! When I was a kid I thought that would be the coolest thing to live by the desert and ride horses just like the cowboys who rode horses on the old western television shows I cut my teeth on. For the longest time I thought that was what the west was really like...people riding horses and saloon brawls...(well I suppose there still are saloon brawls huh? )
the tumbleweeds just seem to want to blow into our front yard all the time.
Must be nice!luvinlife wrote:Hi PP! You are so right about teaching my kids to "timeshare"....but, I have to admit that because I'm on the computer all day at work, I really don't have much desire when I'm home! I am so blessed to live here in South Florida where I can be outside all year around and enjoy nature, the water, the sky....I just love being outside!
Love, Clare
