Hi guys, just got back from New Mexico, and this is the first thread I
clicked on. I see nothing much has changed in the old neighborhood.
How are the real estate values? And how are all of you?

ZHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGE MADDIE
HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I MISSED you!!!!!! gbseg This
might explain the returned cards, returned cd's, returned
e-mails.............. messages of "the number you have reached...........has
been disconnected..........." WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word is out......Tennessee is the place to be........farms are being
sold as soon as the probate passes the year, divided up and turned into
mushroom subdivisions. Lowes commercial sales is pop pop pop, but the grass
is still green, the sky is still blue and it's still awesome around here. Of
course property value has more than quadrupled since you poked yer head up
here two years ago come the 18th..............not ours. I might be able to
push selling the chaos for just over what we refinanced to pay the thugs
(who still claim we owe them, so same old, same old)
We now have TWO dawgs again...............Sugar is the proud adopted mama of
Sméagol, an unidentifiable loveable hound of sorts. Male this one......the
gardens are peeping their eyes open, a few crocus, the Cornelian cherry is
trying to burst, my Diane witch hazel refuses to give up her red threads
yet..............little golden mouths popping in the western bed amongst the
seedlings of seeds that are germinating that Dian sent me from Oregon, plus
massive digging damage done by Smeagol and lately, a throw back regression
from Sugar who tore up major work under the black cherry tree shade bed
because Squire had the door open yesterday and wasn't paying attention to
what she was doing..............she lives still, but the two foot deep hole
is heart rending, especially when I see I lost the Amber Waves heuchera I
had nurtured this far, and most of Pottingshed's (Bev's) "taters" or antique
woods hyacinths. I was tucking over 120 bulbs back into the hole and I
still wanna know, where does the soil go???????

I'm getting the itch to change locations, but feel like we're here for the
duration. We'll see what happens. I keep playing John's lottery number he
dreamed about.
I have morphed into a fat little Southern
woman........sigh..................Squire has dropped almost 65 pounds
living in his semi and driving for Heartland Express. He is over this
carnage on the road.............he longs to be home more now. And Mike is
STILL with
us................................................ ..........................

How are YOU?? Catch up!
