The motorcycle was missing from the garage when I got home from my riding lesson. Seems my husband decided to take advantage of the dry weather and rode down the highway overlooking Cook Inlet. He met a group of Christian bikers that he rode back to Anchorage with.
When he got home he said he'd sent me a bunch of e-mails about puppies for sale. He is very interested in a nine week old female German Shepherd and wasn't very happy when I said I wanted another male. We've had two females over the years and I just don't find them as affectionate as the boys. He really wants to take a look at her. I said, "Fine, go look. Just don't bring her home." Impasse.
Saw a newly listed house yesterday that seems too good to be true. Excellent price, decent location and seems to have all the bells and whistles we're looking for. Of course I find it after I finally booked a flight to California. I usually go down in late October. This year I kept putting off making reservations. I've decided to go down for Thanksgiving. This will be the first time since 1974 that I've spent it with my family. I've never been to Bates Nut Farm so we're planning to go there; there will be a huge craft show at Del Mar, along with some kind of Christmas light show at night featuring over 400 displays. It costs $14 a carload but I'm pretty sure it's worth it. My husband and I have tried to view Anchorage's best lit homes in the past but that usually ends up in an argument over the best way to get from Point A to Point B. Del Mar will also be hosting a "Jingle Bells" horse show which I may or may not insist upon attending one of the days.
Oh, the point I was going to make is that it wouldn't be very wise to go on vacation while in the middle of either negotiating for a house or actually moving. I haven't decided whether to show the listing to my husband or not. It's a cute house; reminds me of the one on "Leave It To Beaver," although when I actually Googled a picture of that house it's not that similar.
As predicted, we've raked leaves twice this week. We did it yesterday and you'd never know it looking at the lawn today.
May go up to the barn today and/or tomorrow as my trainer smashed her fingers in one of the doors and might have broken some fingers. I'd like to help out if needed, although I've noticed that there are a lot more people there on weekends than during the week.

I finally our if I downloaded a different browser, I could comment on your blog. I don't know what the deal with IE and blogger is but I've not been able to comment for months on any blogs that had the comment box imbedded. So WooHOO! for finding Firefox. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy son was planning on moving and coming to visit us within a couple of weeks of time. I told him I thought he was biting off an awful lot. After thinking it over, he decided to post pone his trip.
I don't know what the housing market is like where you are and I guess the answer to that would probably be a factor in deciding whether you look into this particular house or not. Even though doing both would be stressful, it might be worth it if it was the only way you could get into a house you really like. Which ever way you choose, I wish you luck.
I hope that your trainer is doing ok. It's nice of you to help her out.
