Rn Escapee, when we bought our house the porch was screened by these huge ugly bushes. I remember the day we came to see the house the first time telling Darren if we bought it, those would be the first things to go and sure enough almost as soon as we finished unpacking him and bil were out there digging em out. I don't like the idea of anything hiding the front door, you never know who could be on the other side!

RN: LOL....you and I think the same. I like openess. I'll take some more pictures and show you the back yard. I could use some tips as what to do. Does anyone know anything about planting trees over leech fields? The backyard has no trees. It needs some, we are also going to cover the back patio and tile it with some outdoor tile, have a fire pit and a nice outdoor furniture set. Oh yes, and a swingset eventually for the girls.
BTW: your kids looked absolutely adorable!

We also want to have a big housewarming party once we're settled. Gramma suggested we have a money tree or register for gifts. Does that sound tacky or is it customary?

RN people usually bring gifts to a housewarming party, I know it'd help me to know what they got before hand cuz I usually end up taking a plant.

No advice on the backyard, lol. I live in the desert all I got is dirt, some bushes and one tree. The patio is litered in kid stuff and we haven't done much hanging out out there since the kids got old enough to claim it for their own, lol. Our patio furniture is out front. We always have parties out there so the neighbors can come and go, the kids play out there cuz they're friends are out there, and during the summer thats where we spend most our time. We go visit neighbors, they come visit us and we hang out out front because thats where we can keep an eye on all the kidlets.

Right now, Wargod, thanks for the sympathy. It's Day Three of the Quest for the Missing Parcel (the slip was left at my neighbor's on Monday). I'm getting seriously irked that the Post Office employees keep acting like they're helpless to find my order. Like it's so unreasonable of me to expect them to know where my mail is or something.

The whole reason I'm going through this is because last year my ornament order was left half hanging out of my too-small mail box, during a downpour. When I got home, I found a partially crushed, mud-splattered, soggy cardboard box. So this year I changed my Hallmark account to my office. Except the rep I spoke with made a typo with the street number. I discover that error & get it corrected. And then I find out that she only changed my billing address, not shipping address so the ornaments are once again going to my home mail box. I asked the Post Office to hold the package for me and, well, you see where that has lead.

RN, i think a money tree or gift registry would be tacky for a housewarming. let people bring if/what they want. if they ask you what you need, you might suggest something, but otherwise, let them give or not give as they choose.
our party saturday is a combination 'dd's graduation for family who couldn't come south for her actual graduation, our new house, new friends meeting old friends, etc.' i hope no one brings us a thing, because we have too much already! if they wanted to give dd a card with a ten-dollar bill or something, that's okay. we aren't expecting anything and hope people don't feel they have to give something.

RN, most of our yard is different pine and cedar trees, over 100 feet tall. nearer the house, where it's cleared some, we have two huge strawberry patches with tall rose bushes, gravel where we park, and planter boxes with herbs. one side of our deck has an arbor with grapevines...i heard the grapes at this house taste incredibly like wine when they are ripe. i hope we can beat the birds to them! right now, the grape clusters look like miniatures for a doll-house! little teeny clumps with grapes about the size of the 'o' in the words i have typed.

Right now, Tabbyking, the area wildlife must love your yard. Cedars, pines, and grapes are all on the list of top plants for natural gardens! And grape vines are supposed to be very fragrant too. It sounds lovely!

rn, it's not friday?! i never know what day it is because all the days seem like saturday or sunday to me...as long as we can manage on our retirement pay for 2.5 years, we will have a lot more money to spend after that; ds will finish college in 3 years at the most and we'll have the 750/dollars a month we pay for his rent and also not have the books and tuition to pay. it costs us about 18k a year just for him. the rest of us live on about the same for all of us, including mortgage, bills, car insurance, etc. it will be very tight for a while, but if we can make it through the next few years, we won't have to go to work at all. dh wants to do so much with the house, but i am putting a hold on big jobs until the kids are out of college.
at least dd is going for the R.N. program through our community college, so she can live at home and not pay a hefty tuition. she has enough scholarship money to pay for over a year.
she plans to pay for all her education. this summer she gets to just have fun. once school starts in august, she will also find a parttime job. the biggest expense will be for her gas to and from school...it's about 70 miles round-trip.

Mocha A friendship prayer:

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of someone who screws up your day.

May their arms be too short to scratch!
Amen.
