You know you’re old when

We have a street

The work on our block has almost been completed..  The street, curbs, sidewalks, gas lines and sewers have been finished.  They just need to put up our street lights and put sod down where they ripped up our yards and then everything should be done.

We’re walking away from the Candy Cane Lane house.  Basically, it all came down to foundation problems and who would pay for it.  The owner didn’t and wasn’t going to fix it and we couldn’t take on that responsibility.  She … Continue reading

Crisis averted

Our windows are awesome.  They’re the kind that fold in so you can clean them from inside your house.  Seriously, they’re great.  But, they started getting what looked like streaks and a film on them.  Our realtor came over last spring … Continue reading
