I got an email from Rachel and they arrived safely in England, on time and with no problems. They are staying in a hotel for a couple of days until the air shipment of their stuff arrives. They don’t get the keys to the apartment until tomorrow, but they walked over and looked at the [...]
My lovely niece married the man of her dreams about 6 1/2 hours ago. They had a small, sweet ceremony that I know brought many a tear to the eyes of guests. They wrote and memorized their own vows. It was clear that they are so much in love with each other. I got choked [...]
I decided that the best way to find out if hubby and I can live with only one vehicle is to actually do it. As of today, the Civic is parked and off duty. We’re only going to drive the Accord and see how it goes. Hubby will drive it to work and I’ll plan [...]
Hubby and I have lived in this house a little over a month now. We’re still not completely unpacked, but that’s OK because it keeps it feeling new. Heh. We’ve gone out and about in the new area a few times. It is really lovely here. I wasn’t familiar with this part of the DFW [...]
It’s Election Eve here tonight. The polls are going nuts trying to keep Obama in the front. Fact is, he’s losing ground in the polls in these last few hours before the elections begin. The further down he falls, the bigger chance McCain has to pull out a victory. Up until today, it’s been a [...]
I am amazed by my new neighborhood. As I was driving in tonight, I saw hordes of people and kids on the streets. There were a couple of house parties going on with full yard decorations, and clusters of people walking up and down the street trick or treating. There was a group of kids [...]

I am dearly glad to see this day come to a close. The movers were early. They got to the apartment before 11:00 a.m. We weren’t ready for them. I had just gotten all of the animals loaded into the car when they arrived. Hubby had planned to wait for them and finish up the [...]
Hurricane Ike is a massive storm now in the Gulf of Mexico and heading toward Houston. It’s being predicted that it could come all the way here and still be a category 1 hurricane. You can see from the photo below that the storm track comes right through DFW. We almost never have to worry [...]
This has been crazy!! We’ve been working on the stuff to buy that house. We hit a bump and then crashed. We decided that this isn’t a good time for us to do it. The finances just couldn’t take it. But we tried and we learned so much that we needed to know. Time to [...]
