Everyone is okay, thank you.

She hates the cold  . That's part of why we moved here to FL, from Michigan.
It's a possibility - I can't point fingers, out loud, though. It's a gang that moved in a few months ago. Known for breaking in and stealing a lot of stuff in the neighborhood lately...vandalizing everything. It's terrible. My neighbor (the one that had her side burn badly) said she couldn't find her laptop, and the fire investigator is investigating a broken window, amongst other things.
Thanks, though. Most important thing was that everyone (and animals) came out safe and sound. |

The "true scotsman" pix now, my screensaver!!
It reminds me of when my FIL stayed w/ us for way too many weeks, (his boxers only,boys rule in the a.m.) The no franks and beans before my coffee rule, is now a penalty violation in my home!
Uh, you're taxi's on it's way Pop......!!

Too much. I remember when my SIL and BIL were here to stay for a while and EVERYONE was driving me nuts....
You don't know how grateful I was when my BIL knocked over a plant stand and the plant went crashing to the floor into a million pieces with dirt flying everywhere. It gave me a project that took much time so I didn't have to be with them. DH had to entertain them for a while and I took my sweet time cleaning the mess!  |
