it!!! I'll admit it, I'm a big Jim Carrey fan, and this movie was hilarious!!! Dd and ds were both in sort of a funk before we went and it cheered them both up. I don't laugh out loud very often and I almost choked on my popcorn I was laughing so hard! You guys HAVE to see it!

Ok, back to Plan A. The three of us decided yesterday NOT to build the new patio home and to buy Mike's cousin's house instead. I know, we're nuts! But the whole condo thing didn't "feel" right, you know that feeling in your gut when you have to make a decision. Ds and I stopped in to see the cousins yesterday to borrow jumper cables (long story!) and got to see the rest of the house. It's nice, needs some updating, but we decided that we can be happy there. And of course, it's priced right! And now that ds is moving back home, there's room to spread out. The back yard is fenced so Goldie will have room to run too, and it backs up to one of the city parks, NO back neighbors! My mind is at ease now, don't feel like I have to struggle to afford this. AND, we'll be able to move in the fall, while the weather is still good!! Yuck! Hate moving! I swear, this will be the last one for a very long time! LOL!

Poor ds is having so much car trouble. Battery won't hold a charge, had to push him home yesterday, or rather, back to my garage. So looks like we'll be juggling cars again this week. Dd applied for a second job for the summer, she'll stay busy and be able to pay for her insurance and cell phone! Yea!!! It's at Taco Bell, not the classiest, but hey, it's a job, right? And they'll work around her schedule at the nursing home.

Ok, gotta get busy, laundry, vacuuming, etc. Carpet cleaner is coming Wednesday, can't wait! This poor carpet is about 5 shades darker than it was when it was put in! Hope you all have a super day and a good week ahead!! Keep smilin'!! :D

Hugs, Pam

Sounds like you are happy with your decision. I think the cousin's house sounds like a good choice...but that may be cause I'm on Goldie's side! LOL! She needs a yard. Maybe she'll share it with you! Hugs

Glad things are going "your" way, Pam. Whether you move into an exsisting home or a new one, I know you all are glad you are going "home". So sorry to hear about Brian's care trouble, I remember the days where we just got a car we could afford and then have bunches of trouble with it. Hey, does he still want to move to LV some day?

As far as Jim Carrey, I'm not much of a fan, but I have heard that in Bruce Almighty he is tamer than most of his movies. Maybe I'll go see it. Take care, my LV friend. BIG HUGS. ..Free

Pam,

Nice to hear you found something you like. helps that it fits your pocketbook better also.

Moving is not on of my favorite things either.

Have been house searching here with little luck. Oh well, when the time is right, it will happen.

Hugs,

Rain

Pam....A couple of my dds went to see "Bruce Almighty" the night it opened and

thought it was funny also...even tho they aren't fans of Jim Carey...A good laughs heals many ailments!!!

It sounds like the your decision to buy Mike's cousin's house is the right one

especially if it'll seem more like "home"to you...If you're comfortable w/ that decision,everything else should fall into place...And Goldie will have a backyard!!!!

Plus,I know from experience that having no backyard neighbors is nice...We're up against

an elementary school,but when we're home,school's not in session....it works out well.

Hopefully, the car problems and everything else will work out...which reminds me,my van has to go into the shop soon!!My air cond..is broken and it sure is hot here!!

Take care!!HUGS,NAN

Pam I have seen Bruce Almighty and I agree it was very funny. I am not normally a Jim Carey fan but this one is really good.

I am so glad you decided to buy your cousin home sounds like the right decision to me.

Sure hope ds gets his car problems fixed asap.

Heading back your way maybe get a chance to see you

Love

Mary
