Old House Renovation Journal

[mbb308]

Mbb...What a wonderful job you have done on that house...It is beautiful..You do great work!! Thank you for sharing those pics..Man..I just told Cipher I would not mind to have that house..Is that a house you own or does someone else? But anyway just wanted to tell you you are doing a wonderful job!!

Thank you. I developed a covetous feeling toward that house the first time I set foot in it. I would like to have gotten it - it's on a great block in that neighborhood.

The woman who got it seems quite fond of it, and I hope she enjoys it, too. I think she is.

Oh golly, Iwould be afraid to have such a tiny thing in the house, afraid I might step on her.... or that my cats would stalk her.
But she is cute.

Are we raising assault cats at your house?

I've had/known cats that would do that. We had a Siamese that would get mad at the little Poodle and stalk her - the racket was terrible, if it weren't so funny. They actually got along quite well.

That was a long time ago.

Example #1
One day a neighbor's dog got loose, my husband found it and brought it home, then he went door to door, trying to find it's owners.
The 'dog' he found was very young Minature Doberman Pinscher....
it behaved as though it had been fed pure sugar. It zipped about as a hummingbird does. I would venture to say it had 'transporter' capablilities. Zipping here and there in my house.
The cats thought it most amusing.
The big lethal beasts, for now they were huge in comparision, began to crouch down and take great interest in our visitor....one cat even went so far as to raise her haunches up off the ground and her tail has just shaking, I swooped down and picked up the little speed freak. In the nick of time. He was almost , toast.
He had no idea of the great peril he had been in. One miffed kitty too.

Sounds like my kind of cat, too.

We finally got our lead certificates in the mail today. I guess we passed.

We read the letters, which are the actual certification, and then we read the "suitable for framing" documents.

There it is - all official looking and everything, until you actually read it, and not just glance at it.

In letters this big, it begins: Laed

I think I'll get it framed anyway, just because I'm like that sometimes.

In huge letters, no less. And from an institution of "higher learning" to boot.

And this is before the governor's announced budget cuts for state supported universities.

And a university seal, too - not the fancy BA/BS type, but quite official looking.

My aunt is the best framer in town, and she'll think this is priceless.

I can't wait to get my mother's opinion. They issued her PhD!!!!!

In our PM's we DO talk like that!!!!!

I let my mind wander years ago, and it was too small to go out by itself, and it got lost.

And that's the truth, so help me God!!!!

Save me a seat on that jont yo!!!!

Yeah, I've got Dr. Mom, and it ain't Milk of Magnesia, either. She earned it in '86 or '87, and wrote her dissertation on second lauguage acquisition. She was roughly 55 at the time, and by far the oldest in her program.

That certificate will help me keep working for the folks I like to work for.

Hell, this hick burg is getting more diverse by the month. C'mon down!!!!

We have a city councilman running for re-election under the motto "You can't cook in cold grease." Makes me want to vote for him, except he's a disbarred lawyer - the worst kind.

Mom didn't really get going on it until after her dad died and left her enough money so she could afford to go back to school. She's glad she did, and we're proud of her.

I left you a present in the kitchen . . . .
