Riley & Rhonda were up bright and early and were downstairs watching Dora the Explorer when Nana, Grandpop, and Aunt CJ awakened. It took Riley only a little while to get curious about her visitors and begin socializing with us. By late morning her Daddy and her...
It's happening! Frances, our realtor, came by last night with two offers! We sat at the dining room table and compared and contrasted the two offers and finally decided which one to choose for a counter offer. Then today was a flurry of phone calls between Frances and...
Life is crazy right now. It seems that everywhere we turn that we are being inspected, dissected, rejected. A couple of potential buyers are acting interested and keep coming back. One of them had her father drive by and he thought that she should run, not walk, away...
Sometimes you just have to clean out the closets and get rid of some things. It's time to weed out all the shoe care products that we've collected in a Roots shoe box. At one time the two of us and Gary all wore Roots, a negative heel shoe that was extremely...
Today was a gentle day. The house is in order and we had the opportunity to sleep until we wanted to get up! We started the day with a leisurely swim in the pool and decided that this house has been a wonderful place to visit for the last fifteen years! We continued...

Annie: good friend, adopted family member, valued ACH co-worker has finished her pharmacy residency and is moving to North Carolina to take a position with Duke University Medical Center. Tonight was her last dance at the Savoy South Make Believe Dance Hall. We'll all...
It's starting to come together. The carpet was installed today over the 1950's linoleum that the Kiernans installed when they first finished out the attic. The blue industrial strength carpeting and the blue walls and ceilings of the Hatker era are now all gone. The...

Almost as soon as we arrived at the Cripple Creek KOA in Colorado on Sunday, we were in love and beginning to entertain thoughts of staying longer. On Monday we extended our stay by the one extra day that Site 175 was available. Then this morning we headed to the...
Once upon a time we used to listen to our friend Gary expound on the probable/certain existence of Bigfoot with a healthy degree of skepticism. We'd never seen any scientific or even tangible evidence of the existence of a large hairy hominid nor known anyone who had...
