Pictures Galore

Today I decided to flood you with some pictures since recently I've been writing a lot with none. First, I have to start out with pictures of Miss Daisy. I don't think I ever posted any since she got her haircut before the wedding. She looks like a completely different dog when she's trimmed.

This one is just cute because she's got her tongue sticking out.

As promised, here are some pictures of male child's house. Yesterday's closing went great plus there was a surprise that none of us knew about at the closing. Basically, he got almost a 1/4 of an acre piece of land which is right across the street from his house for free. The owner "thought" he'd mentioned it to his real estate agent and unbeknownest to us, the past couple of days our real estate agent was trying to work out the details. It's a super nice little perk because he could potentially sell the piece of land across the street and still live in his house. Don't you just love good surprises like that? They sure don't happen very often, esp. in real estate. Here's male child standing in front of his front door. He's got a really cute little porch.

Here's the view coming in the back door into the kitchen. He's got all new appliances and the kitchen's been totally re-done.

This is the view from the dining room into the really big living room he has.

Here's a couple of pictures of the neat touches of woodworking that they put in.

He has a toilet down in his basement--no bathroom, just a toilet, so since he is "King of his new house", here's a picture of him on his "throne". I just couldn't resist.

The update on my house is the inspector went through a couple of days ago and there are a few things they want fixed or $500. Depending on how major the stuff is they want fixed, we will probably go with the $500 and be done with it. The buyer is going through the house again in about an hour and he wants a structural engineer to look at this crack in the foundation on Monday. I don't think the engineer will find anything major. That crack was there when I bought it. Plus, the house is 75+ years old--there are going to be cracks, etc. in it. It's been pouring the rain here so I'm sure he will also see the water in the basement--again, no surprise since it's a block foundation and I disclosed this on the disclosure document. Keep those good vibes and prayers going up--we're not there yet!

On another note, thanks for the 2 comments a couple of days ago. You can't imagine how excited I get to see comments (sad, I know) and you helped me reach my goal!! Keep 'em coming!

Itching is still going on, although I think it's getting a little better every day.

I got an email from our photographer today. She has the pictures ready and I can pick them up on Monday!! Unfortunately, she doesn't have them up on the website yet. I don't really understand why, but I sent her an email and asked her if she was going to put them up today. If I hear anything, I will email my regular readers with the password so you can check them out. I wish I could pick them up today. I can't wait to see them!
