It doesn't have hardwood floors and a fireplace, though.

Those can be added later. ;o)

We're weirdoes, aren't we? For an instant I has this idea of how the "Shooes of Power" would sound to an outsider...

I prefer the term "eccentric". ;-)

Could you folks keep my Aunt Gertrude's family in your prayers? I just found out that she died this morning. She had been in treatment for leukemia, and developed pneumonia while in the hospital and couldn't fight it. I didn't even know she was ill! I talked to my cousin just a little while ago, and he said the leukemia had only been discovered five weeks ago, but it was very aggressive.

They live in Providence, so I'm going down there for the wake and funeral, whenever they are scheduled. She's survived by my uncle Frank, who is in his 90's now, and their two younger sons, who are in their 50's. Their oldest son died about 9 years ago.

Well, we Southerners never hide our 'eccentrics'. We put them out there on the front porch for the whole town to see and admire! ;o)

Well I'm up to adding the fireplace, but the last I heard it was around $14/sq. ft. for hardwood floors.

I most certainly will, Suzi!

My neighbor's husband died this morning too. They had been married for 61 years and were as charming a couple as you could ever hope to meet.

Sure puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

I would never dream of hiding mine either!

But it does help when you folks who know what you're talking about. :-D

They're in my prayers. Keep us informed so we can pray for you when you travel to the funeral.

To: RosieCotton; ksen

While I'm sure ksen has more important things to worry about... Samurai7 and Madlax both just got licensed, which means it's going to be tricky to keep watching it. I don't think either is as insanely popular as FMA, so finding a group that's still willing to sub is tricky.

Darn! Now I have to wait a year and then buy the dvds, because even if they show it on tv it'll be some stinky dub. Ah well... at least FMA will be properly mine soon...

God Bless your neighbor. What a blessing they had so many years together.

They sure did, Suzi!

I have to share this pic I took of Alyson last night. It may replace the bunny and pancake pic. :-)

You can also see how one of her front teeth has gone dark. That's from when she fell in the tub a month ago. Poor baby!

Msdrby and I met a gentleman at church today whose son is a Marin Lance Corporal in Najaf. One of the guys who was fighting in the cemetary. Msdrby has his APO address written down, and will forward it.

We told this Marines's da about our 'troop support' efforts, but didn't mention that HH knives directly. We want to surprise the Marine.

Spiderboy saw Jessi's picture, and said, "Aw, look at that doggy."

*shudder* I'd hate to think that big splotchy sunflower wallpaper would come back in style.

Heh...my livingroom has that on two walls and yellow/orange/avocado stripes on the other two.

It's so hideous, it kinda grows on ya...

Like fungus...
