Good morning REOvillians!

Thanks for all the votes for the frogs. Had Becky not been such a frog lover it probably would not have occurred to me to ask the REOvillians for their support, and since the frogs have slipped from first place I think all the help here was needed more than I knew. :thumbs:

My friend is unable to accompany me back from Denver, so I have decided not to make the 2000+ drive alone. I have another friend who was trying to talk me out of it because of having to drive alone through the mountains who will be very happy with this news. Even though I have a 4 wheel drive with new tires, she was dead set against it since I am somewhat crippled and would be alone on the trip there. I checked flights, and of course having waited to hear back from my friend in Kansas, the prices went up several hundreds of dollars, in fact almost double!

Everyone going to Denver, try to remember to have a good time even for such a somber occasion. It was mentioned before that Jack would have wanted you to enjoy yourselves. As hard as that may be to do, we know he would have wanted you flatlanders to see his beloved home and God's country without being hampered by the sadness you inevitably will be feeling.

On a bright note, we heard yesterday that DH's son is bringing the kids to Disneyland so we will be going to Anaheim the weekend of the 28th which would have cut my trip short. While they only live in Arizona, he still misses seeing the grandkids as often as he would like to so this is great news. We booked a room for the weekend to squeeze in as much time as possible with them rather than make the drive back and forth. This is the only one of his 4 children who don't treat me like crap, so I look forward to seeing them and the joy they bring to DH.

Good Morning Reovillians, have a happy hump day!!

Gonna try and see if Zippo can see the vet today.....routine stuff nothing serious :). Probably begin moving this Friday so wanna get things done before then. Will be living out of 2 homes for awhile until the garage is done at the new place so be hit and miss here from Friday. Closed escrow and had cleaning crew at the house yesterday and looked as if they were doing a bang up job.

Val, little worried myself about you traveling alone and with a sore knee, you take care and make sure you got plan B, C and D if something goes wrong. Tree Frogs are kewl!!!!

Sorry about USPS for some of you guys.....thinking morale there nut very guud nowadays. :(

Don't forget to get that quarter pounder deal at McDonalds today :)

Just be careful and take your time. Please :)

Back when I had all my REOs out either at Rob's and mia in USPS land, what got me thru (besides the flood of offers of next day deliveries of REOs from many of you) :wub: was a EPower 18650 kit I got at the brick and motar store downtown. It was $49.95 and come to find out its cost $18 online but it did stopped be from smoking a cig. It saved me and with the LR C4 works pretty good but no REO! ;)

I was born and raised in Florida and we spent our summers in Macon GA. I loved seeing all my cousins on vacations but hated grandma's outhouse. Very scary in there. When my grandma got a real bathroom no kids were allowed in it. I am old enough to remember black and white tv's and rabbit ears. LOL

Times have really changed a lot of things :D

Good Hump day Fine REO Folk.

Happy Birthday Gil. It’s okay to cheat a little.:p

Sorry you can't make it to Denver Val. Awfully long drive especially alone and being a "cripp."

Please stay safe on long drive Rob and hopefully Julie. Pietro the sky goddesses should keep us safe.

Working outside to get pool, spa, plants, birds ready for my absence so things won't go haywire on DH when I'm gone....... only three days but he is virtually helpless when it comes to all things "home care." It's only 88 F but 70% humidity and sunny so taking a cooling off break. Sure do love electricity and AC!!!!!!!!! Need to get emergency AC set up too and clean filters on central. (Temp fix done but had to cancel the major fix and cleaning. Hope to call tomorrow and get that scheduled for next week early morning. Can't do it during heat of day because have to kick Bubs out or locked up stairs which don't want to do as upstairs is "no dog/dust/dander˝ zone.

Jen, I'm working under deck where the creepies like to hang out. Haven't seen any reptiles except lizards but scared up one of the big Woods Rats. Had to resort to DEET on me as so much rain and mosquitoes and standing water.

Mz D, hoping DH will go into town and UPS for me and will report arrival of little silver.

Well, I'm almost cooled down........ Time to hit the trenches.

Love and hugs, Feisty Alice
