The "living room" or what they refer to as a "great room" that goes from front to back and has sliding glass doors - hubby started drawing plans last night for the deck he plans to build out that door!!!!

I''d post it for you in a heart beat - but for somereason I can't get to it. My ISP is giving me fits again.

Actually we've been planning to move to Virginia for over a year - the only reason we're still in Delaware is that we haven't been able to sell our house.

My first car was a '70 Cutlass Supreme. It seems the only ones for sale out there are either muscled out or look like this now (mine was blue):

I'm not familiar with Olney - in fact I've never heard of it.

As soon as the boss decides when hubby is going I'll let you know - but, no I will not be coming with him. I'll get to visit Texas one of these days, though!!!!
