Thank you Thanks for all these replies. It never fails to make me feel good when people take time out of their day to answer a question or concern I have. I shall, of course, endeavor to do the same as often as possible!
Impaul99 - letter "c" really woke me up. I remember now that often times I do "assume stuff" or "make sh*t" up as they say. In this case, the outlook and happiness of the people on my street. Much of that I beleive comes from my Grandparents, both still alive, who still live in the same house they built 45 plus years ago. (of course nwo that I think about it, it's a nice house though too!!). My grandparents are "Yankee" types. VERY frugal, yet very generous. Very wealthy from plain old fashioned hard work and watching their pennies. So anyway, I think that's where the "who do you think you are?" comes from! I haven't worked long and hard enough yet, according to thoise dang' ol' voices!! Well, we've got two offers on our current house now, and our offers been accepted on the NEW house and we're more excited than ever. Oh, and I wouldn't be doing a thread re the LOA justice if I didn't mention this.
My daughter goes to a beautiful little Catholic School in town. This school is simply out of a movie, maybe even Andy Griffith or Father knows best. Just great community, the men and women there are great husbands, wives, mothers and fathers and it's small. There are 70 children in the school grades k thru 5. The road we're moving to is a dirt road, 8/10th of a mile long. 7 out of the 70 children live on this road. Mathemetically this is just completely impossible. My lawncare company used to mow a lawn on the road. Synchronicities abound!! |
