Thanks:)

In other news: Over the last year Mack and I have been considering selling this place and moving. It's getting way to populated. We have actually been considering taking one end of the building we own in downtown Bixby and converting it into a living area. It's a nice location, big open windows that look out at the park. Downtown Bixby is not like what you think of as town. Most of the business have moved out and are located out on the main road. There are a few small businsess there, but at night it's a ghost town.

With not having made a definite decision it's been hard to get excited about doing much around here. Our house is about 30 years old and really needs a face life bad. It's been deciding what we want. There is so much maintanice around here, we've been negetful about things for alot of years.

But in the end we've decided we just couldn't live anywhere else. So this weekend we committed to over the next 2-3 years of getting this place cleaned and spruced up. Replacing the windows first, then the ceiling, then going thru each room one at a time and remodeling/redecorating. Then the floors last.

Hopefully once everthing is back in tip top shape, and without all the traffic we had during the children raising faze of our lives things won't be so hard to keep up with. Something we need to consider at our age. It doesn't get easier as you get older and creakier:), so if we get it done now, we should be able to maintain, hopefully anyway.

Becky

Remodeling on any scale is both tiring, at times expensive and discouraging, but really a lot of fun too. I'm glad you decided to stay, I can't picture you in town. I know I don't ever want to go anywhere where my horses aren't right out the window. :~D
