However, if I were to get in to all the bad drivers we've seen on the road we would be here until next Thanksgiving. That being said my fav thing to see is when people park crooked across not one but two or three spaces. Then they ask the passenger to get out and check to see if they are in the lines. On Tuesday we watched a guy throw his car into reverse, smash into another car and then take off like a bat outta hell. I tell you Toronto has nothing on K-town. <BR/>P.S. I have been counting down the days until Thanksgiving since July. I am so ready for the feast Shawn will prepare..:.KC.:. the brown eyed girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257881761763820872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-44448094877718075762008-10-10T09:18:00.000-07:002008-10-10T09:18:00.000-07:00Anita I think it sucks that they're charging you r...Anita I think it sucks that they're charging you rent at all. It's not like you chose to live there! It's not permanent. I know that's a crappy feeling but you'll be in a real house soon. <BR/><BR/>As for farms, there used to be a lot of passing down to the next generation where I come from too. That's changed a lot in the last twenty years. And anything over a hundred acres is going to cost about a million dollars. I feel like I should say that like Dr Evil...Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-68389479989136357892008-10-10T06:57:00.000-07:002008-10-10T06:57:00.000-07:00You're lucky - farms almost NEVER come up for sale...You're lucky - farms almost NEVER come up for sale around here, they are always "passed down"... farmers here all seem to live to be 112 anyway...lol The last one for sale had 160 acres with it - no WAY we could have afforded that one!!<BR/><BR/>(we received a letter saying that starting next month FEMA is going to charge us $512 a month rent on this FEMA trailer!! Crazy considering our two bedroom full basement house with detached garage was only costing us $250 a month!!

He sounds amazing. You are extremely fortunate to have someone always looking on the bright side, for you!<BR/><BR/>I laughed about the hay thing. It sounds like me and grocery shopping. There is something immensely satisfying about having a stocked pantry. It makes me feel... secure, i guess.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the good is balancing the not so good. And that quiet mailbox? It's waiting for just the right moment. It'll be life changing when it comes!Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-21336843452990005992008-10-09T07:26:00.000-07:002008-10-09T07:26:00.000-07:00Cindy, yes, I do rock, even if it's too loud, haha...Cindy, yes, I do rock, even if it's too loud, haha!<BR/><BR/>I am trying to arrange a visit with Biddie. Her internet is down right now so I'll have to -gasp - phone! I'm hoping to see her and you bet I'll hug her for you.<BR/><BR/>This whole thing about looking for a place to live is a drag. I'm so happily settled here in my little house in town and I truly love my neighbours, so I don't have that awful limbo feeling at least. I should just be satisfied, but I can't help it... I want to be out under the big sky again. I really want it.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. I'll keep looking, you'll keep looking. <BR/><BR/>And next week our car will be like new again. Gotta look at all the bright sides, eh?Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-10358293587945007202008-10-09T07:16:00.000-07:002008-10-09T07:16:00.000-07:00It IS possible to be mildly devastated.

My latest thing is to look on craigslist for rental properties in the place that I MIGHT be living to go to law school and getting upset that we can't move now. How crazy is that?<BR/><BR/>That No Looking in the Mirror Before Backing Up Ass Hat must really have a screw loose. Sorry about the Jetta.<BR/><BR/>And I know the bad ass sounding truck must be getting old. But, how good does it feel to know you rock it?<BR/><BR/>I guess that's all I got.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hug Biddie for me if you see her.CindyDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670606436554430600noreply@blogger.com
