Wow. Those are gorgeous.

Yes, it was deleted. I feel weird having my pic out on the internet. Just imagine a stunning woman with silver hair, and that's me, pretty much. ...

OMG, he's gorgeous! Is it a he? He wears the shaved look much better than I did! You look pretty great too. :+1:

I can't believe this is happening.

Actually, if she moves her kids they can walk to school! Where they're at now is def too far and unsafe for them to walk, but the public schools are...

Jane - that is indeed very ugly. Iris - why don't you do painted cabinets? I'm partial to green myself but you can just pick something that you...

You're right, and I know this about myself, so as much I want to do it, I won't. I've done it before and regretted it. As far as the subsidized...

I totally get the appeal of rustic surroundings. We spent our honeymoon at a cabin in Yosemite in the fall and it was just beautiful. Big fireplace...

I remember that show some years back where modern families were taken out into frontier-type conditions and had to live without all the modern...

We had a lovely day as well. Had a wonderful visit with our friends over a 2-hour lunch and then came home and took a nice long nap. Took the dogs...

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Haha! :laff: No, it doesn't feel like The Shining, but I also don't spend the holidays with family. I stopped travelling to family for the holidays...

A CAR!!!! I love it. :laff:

For those of you who plant amaryllis - when do you plant them? And are they a reliable bloomer?

Rosarugosa - your home looks so serene. I love it. It reminds me of a house I stayed at in Hawaii many years ago. It was up in the mountains and...

Steve - you're funny! I really like the shelf tree. Dh would be able to make something like that for me.

A few days ago I started getting a bunch of property management ads on my facebook page, presumably from my post on here because I haven't looked at...

Thanks, Herbgeek! I love the garland. I can see putting up several of those around the house. What kind of fairy lights do you use?

CathyA - I was just enjoying my trees again (which are starting to turn orange and red), and remembered the beautiful photos you used to share and...

The trees we'll be taking down (probably) are small crape myrtles so dh can do all of it with just a small chainsaw and manual saw. And crape...

Tybee and Catherine's experiences alone should be enough to discourage any would-be landlord! What a nightmare. TT - that is hilarious!

Agree on the beauty of Japanese gardens. We have one nearby and I always enjoy visiting. We have a few elements of the Japanese garden (bamboo,...

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. It finally got into the 60's so it actually felt like fall and our Chinese Pistache tree was a big golden ball...

How exciting! What made you decide to move?

Tybee - thank you for all the great info. It gave me a lot to think about. If the 1% rule applies, then the house would not make the cut, but then...

Agree.

Tybee - have you done well with real estate investing? Several family members have tried to invest in real estate by buying multiple properties and...

Thanks for the responses everyone. To answer a few questions: 1. The time frame is really to do with Dh's work timeline. It could be as early as...

I'm sorry. He will be with his family, and in his home, and that is a wonderful gift you can give him.

Many people who have suffered, particularly long-term trauma and especially childhood trauma during developmental stages, lose the ability to...

Viktor Frankl also said this: “On the average, only those prisoners could keep alive who, after years of trekking from camp to camp, had lost all...

I imagine so. Lots of potential for injury as well. I think it's so sad that kids feel the need to be prepared for terror. Having grown up that...

Right - it makes you smile! And a dark kitchen makes me depressed. Why shouldn't we both have what we want? :) Sure, white boxy houses might be...

It could very well be a regional thing. I just spent the whole weekend in shorts and a tank top, tomorrow's forecast is 75 and sunny, and I can't...

I'm usually in the minority on housing tastes around here and this time is no different. I really like the renovated space. The before was already...
