Yes, we're (nearly) homeless...

     We've got mold, people!  Some very kind friends are letting us live in their house while ours undergoes an investigation of sorts.  Really it's more like insurance company runaround.  We've had a leak in our basement, mold was growing for a while and we didn't know it, so now that we know, we're out.  The insurance company sent a "leak specialist" out to determine where the water was coming from.  After looking around in the offending room for about 10 minutes, he comes out and announces "Well you've got a big crack in your foundation!".  NOOOO! REALLY?? Nice work, Sherlock!  Actually, I'm beginning to think I'm a leak specialist and just didn't know it. So with our fate left in the experts' hands, we are searching for other places to live.  We're not happy about it.  We're still trying to decide if the more economical choice is to just get a bunch of haz-mat suits for the family, and a good air filtration system, and call it good.  We'll let you know.

Wendy, welcome to the blog-o-sphere. ;) I have one too - you can come on over anytime. I wish I could say I was able to update everyday, but 'taint true. We don't have any "real" names on our blog though, since we were hurt (badly) with the last one. If you don't mind hanging out in the garden or doing political stuff like knocking on door and asking people to vote for a specific person, well come on over!! We'd love to visit with ya.

I LOVE IT!!!! No I'm not a blogger... but I love to see others!! And I followed your link to JaNae's... Oh!!! I miss her! You guys could've just told me you didn't like me so I could just move instead of forcing both of you out. :) I promise I'll be nicer if you come back! Maybe you could bargain with Adam... If he gets rid of the annoying barking dog... then you'll move back and continue being my therapist!
