Let The Frames Begin…
Holy cow! It’s finally happening… they have actually started BUILDING our house. It was like some kind of magical Christmas gift. We drove by our lot yesterday and there it was… the beginning of the next chapter of our lives in all of it’s 2×4 glory! ;o)
Ok, that little blurry bottom arrow there actually says - House next door. And, the houses on both sides of us are single stories… so those will probably be finished before our house because the two-story houses are taking a little longer to build.
See that? That is our future driveway!
Yep… we only have about 12 weeks to go. We should be moving in by the end of March / beginning of April 2006!!!! *sigh* it just seems like last week that we put a deposit down on our lot. ;o)

Crazy Lady I sure hope so… but then, considering how fast Christmas has flown by, I’ll bet you are right.
txsm Thank you so much. I never thought I would get a brand new house… I almost feel silly, but it is really like a dream come true.

Marti I really enjoyed your Christmas story… very sweet and definitely a Christmas you can tell your future grandkids about!
Lisa Thanks! I’ll see what I can do about the sunshine, though we aren’t seeing much of it lately… big storms are coming in. LOL

We have a Zander - only we call him Sam the Beagel. He farts, he snores, he belches, yet we love him… oh wait, or is that the hubs?

Dogs are simply the comic relief for the cats. :-)

Hi Amy,
Don’t worry, its not just dogs - I am the owner of the world’s most pathetic cat ever - he is always throwing up (always on the carpet) despite the expensive ’sensitive tummy’ food I buy him, he is scared of everything (sometimes including me, for no apparent reason), and he sits outside the bathroom and cries EVERY time I take a shower. My vet once told me I was the cat’s hero (I rescued him from a shelter)… but I got a cat cos I thought they were independent and intelligent!
SO
ps love the new look!

Crazy Lady ;o) This is why they refer to dogs as “MAN’s best friend”
Zazzafooky No kidding! :o)
SO Well, you apparently got a cat that has been brainwashed into believing he is a dog. :o) Those are two of the many reasons why I prefer cats to dogs!
Thanks so much. I’m so glad that the new design has been well received by everyone!

Zander sounds like a hoot. I bet Tiny and Stinky dog would love to party with him.

Chickie Zander can be a hoot. At the moment (and I should get a picture of this) he is sitting on the back patio with a “chewgar” sticking out of his mouth. At the very least I’m sure he’d get along great with any dog named Stinky. LOL
