Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday to ME!

Hahahahahahaha.

We had a really nice Thanksgiving yesterday.

Jim and Sabrina came over.

She made REAL stuffing!

Just like we used to make waaaaay back in the day.

It was DELICIOUS!

She also made a homemade pumpkin pie.

I don't care for pie.

But I had a bite of Rod's and I can see what

all the fuss is about.

It was yummy.

But I didn't have a piece.

We watched a couple of Hallmark Christmas movies.

And then we all fell into a turkey coma.

This morning, we got on a FaceTime call

(first time) with our realtor and the

inspector. They did a walk-through at the new

house and we got to see it in great detail.

Looks like the roof might need to be repaired.

But first we are going to have the current owner

talk with her insurance company.

The inspector said it wasn't terrible... probably

last for several more years.

Both the crawlspace and the attic were in

excellent shape. The crawlspace was really

clean and didn't even have any cobwebs!

He was impressed.

It was COLD there today, so they were 

running the furnace and it was nice

and toasty inside.

They DID fire up the A/C though just

to check and it worked great as well.

All-in-all it was a really good inspection.

We will want to paint it both inside and out.

A fresh coat of paint is always a good idea.

And we will tear up the carpet (we were happy to

see it wasn't glued down...) and put in some

nice wood laminate flooring in the whole house.

And then some fun new light fixtures in

all the rooms, a coat of paint on the kitchen

cabinets and new pulls and we will be in business!

(The fridge and stove are both builder grade,

but they look fairly new and work well...

all we need for this little house.)

And, as we were going through, I still

get a really happy feeling.

Anyhow,

That's all the news that's fit to print.

And now I need to go make dinner.

(Rod spent the afternoon replacing the

garberator only to find out it wasn't the problem...

the outlet it was plugged into was bad.

So he put in a new outlet AND I got a new

garberabor out of the deal.)
