So... Kind of a lot has happened for us in the last month since I posted. We offered on a house. We then crawfished on that house (there was way too much 70's funk and other issues to be dealt with). I felt bad but we also fell in love with another house.
PROS: it's big enough; 4 bedrooms
has a sunroom
has a pool
is on a lake
is not the in-laws house
CONS: needs work (sort of a PRO)
PRO/CON: is close to the in-laws
Needless to say, we love it. We have spent a month doing what we can (painting, put up a wall, switched some cabinets around in kitchen, bought some furniture, etc.). We also set about cleaning up some brushy stuff at the lakeside. After two days and two cases of poison ivy, we are about 60% done. Needless to say, wash your hands if you think you have poison ivy on them... you never know where it will travel to. It is a terrible thing to look like Mickey Rourke [Wayne Newton phase, not badboy 80's Mickey Rourke (swoooon)] after a "freshening" because you were too stoopid to scrub your paws. Even Homo habilus probably cleansed after a rousing tool making, subsisting, survival frenzy. I am a filthy, stinking hominid...

Hi y'all! Glad to see you're back in the blogging world. I'd take any kind of house that had a pool with it. You'll have to post some pics--it sounds wonderful! Congratulations! And sorry about the poison ivy. Emilie got it once really bad in our woods, and I have yet to ever find the culprit, so I'm sure one of us will brush by it again and get it.

wash with dish soap when you think you got into poison ivy. take it into the shower with you and go at it. the dish soap cuts the urisol oil, but may leave you with dishwater hands.
I'm excited to see how it looks now. glad to have you back too.
What a house! I am excited to see it with furniture. So comfy and ALL yours! I bet it is quiet with out 12 dogs.
