this post may or may not be rated g. there is greek art involved. also, i’m still in paradise.
Yesterday we did the final checkout of our old house and I am so glad that is over with. Everything went well and it looks like we’ll be getting our entire deposit back and that makes me very happy.
So now begins the work of settling ourselves in the new house. It’s not like we have junk everywhere or anything, but I just put stuff on shelves as neatly as possible so I could ignore it until we were out of the old place. And now the laundry room shelves are hollering at me and my closet is looking pretty angry. I also have two extra rooms in this house and I’m not complaining but it does make for a little extra work and I hate work so I’ll probably just get rid of mostly everything and call it good.
And I have some possibly good news and I really want to share it but I can’t so I’ll just say that something really, really amazing is possibly going to maybe happen later this year and I’m going to be so disappointed if it doesn’t SO IT BETTER HAPPEN. That’s all I’m saying to a certain person and you know who you are and if you disappoint me I will hunt you down and make you eat cake.
And I think I have my picture posting abilities back so I’m going to try now to show you what Jesse has been into lately.
(this is not the Greek art I warned you of in the title)
So my sweet and adorable 2 year old has been shooting the neighbors as they walk their dogs and yelling at them, WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
At least he’s not completely naked. Right?
So, yeah. We are definitely that family.
And, because I just can’t not…
The Mural.
For memorial purposes. Also, some of you requested to see it. Second also, I did not paint this.
This is floor to ceiling Greek art, people. 9 feet tall and I’m not sorry at all that the detail isn’t better in my picture. I’m also not sorry that I don’t ever have to look at it again. Except I just posted it on my blog so I may run across it every so often. I just don’t think these things through. Dang.
And, a picture of my neighborhood, taken from the boardwalk.

I’m in paradise, people. Now all I need is a cheeseburger. And maybe some mosquito repellent.

I want to know what the really amazing thing is that might, I mean will happen later this year. You better tell me or else. You don’t want to know what the or else is.
P.S. We need to see you guys. It has been a REALLY long time. I am pretty sure it has almost been a year.
P.P.S. Paradise looks pretty dang nice.
Also, those underwear look strangely familiar.
Um… No comment.
So does the pose. I think I had a similar episode only without the killer pants.
I hope you were speaking of your childhood because this is a G rated blog. Mostly.
I love pictures of the children. Gabe is hansome, and Jesse is adorable. I look at them and see my children and grandkids in there faces. Your house looks lovely I know you will love living by the water, I have for 49 yrs. But, I also see the water when it is frozen in the winter. One thing I am sure of, you don’t miss is that mural. Give those children a hug for me. Grandmom
