Wonder of Wonders, Miracle of Miracles!!!

I hope that little Fiddler on the Roof jingle stays in your head all day...

WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dr's office next door made an offer we couldn't refuse. It's a good deal for them and a good deal for us so, YAY!!!)

Three things I will NOT miss about this place:

1. Raking 40 freaking bags of leaves this fall.... I'm leaving every one of them on the ground and feeling pretty good about it.2. My dark kitchen. This one little window is all I've had and it doesn't provide much light. It also would not open. Actually no windows in this house open...I hate this house.3. A yard full of #*!@. I think Brent is more excited than I am to have a fresh start. The Hoarders Disease is a thing of the past, all we need to do now is deal with the aftermath... Anyone need a Jimmy--we'll throw in the windows and the swamp cooler!
Things I WILL miss about this place:

1. My favorite tree. I call it the octopus tree. It is so unique and I have spent 4 years dreaming of the amazing tree house we could build in its branches... Chop, chop.2. The pergola Brent put up last year. I love how the grapes are growing over it. This yard really does have a lot of potential, but dreaming and doing are two VERY different things. 3. Sadie....if I get my way. No offense, Tiffy. Anyone need a wonderful family dog? She's gentle, spayed and a good watch dog! We may be in a new house by Christmas!!!

Last weekend: Heaven

Last weekend we drove up the canyon for a fall leaf drive. WOW! It was absolutely spectacular. We stopped at Sundance to walk around and Brent just happened to know the lifty working the bottom of the ski lift. So....we all got a free ride! That was $50 of savings and definitely a new fall tradition. Ya know, all those years in high school, that I thought Brent just wasted hanging out with dead heads, are finally starting to pay off...big time... Look at the color! I must say, I think the view of the back of Timp rivals any view of the Swiss Alps. It is absolutely breathtaking...which you would see too if I had the right camera... That Robert Redford is one lucky man to wake up to this view everyday.I was sad knowing a storm was coming through on Wednesday, and would most likely knock most of the color to the ground, but so happy we got up to see them before they were gone. Color is the best thing about fall. Once it's gone, all we are left with is snow for three months...boo...
