I think I would have done the same CC! He probably is thankful the house woes are not his problem anymore!

I bet the presidency of the Airdale club is a doozy of a role with a lot of personalities! This experience just reinforces the realization I came to working a phone job in financial services as a youngin':
I used to think the world was mostly normal people peppered by weirdos. It's absolutely not. It's primarily weirdos peppered with normal people!
Call in Bible study with the WI peeps. Have not started one here yet but plan to. I called to register DH and I for the 55 plus Bible study group through our church but they are currently on hold as the leader had a heart attack over the Holidays and is still up north with his kids recovering.
Have fun celebrating Ron today! Hope your visit with your Dad went better today!
We have not yet sorted out or golf cart issue. We are awaiting a call from the GM and he was out of town until this Wednesday I think working the PGA in Orlando I think. We were going to give him a few days to let the dust settle but plan to call tomorrow or Monday if we don't hear from him.
Im glad the play dates are going well! Such a good boy!
I think they worked at "no maintenance" on your home. I wouldn't have been able to keep completely silent on that topic either...

Greetings all
The sun is out big even though my Apple watch says it is cloudy. I had to take Poppy for a vet apt annual check up and that is quite the excursion because she whines in the car and acts like a hyena while waiting in the vet office. Fortunately there were not many other pets there. I really need CC's trainer to teach her some manners. Me, who used to train dogs to advanced obedience titles - can't seem to get her to settle down. It is because she has not been many places.
Liz sorry your DS had to pay a ransom to get his car back. What baloney. And yikes on having to wear boots and sweaters to a tennis tournament! Weird that it is that cold. Enjoy the stew.
Paula what is up with the tooth infection!!!?? No fun. Glad you are getting treated. Amazing that it is not painful. Wasn't Sanibel Island hit terribly by a hurricane a year or two ago? I am curious as to how much rebuilding is completed. Pelican pictures!! We have the brown ones here.
Peps sounds like you have a great day planned for Ron. Enjoy. So the Scrabble hostess is home from the hospital but I have not talked with her yet. I would host Scrabble but then she would have to drive 30 min in the car to get here so likely we will still go to her house. Maybe while I am there next week I can do a few things for her if needed.
CC glad the HOA meeting was ok. Mr. Lowland needs to get his own legal advice regarding water diversion. Hope all the "Kinble" projects go well and that the front gate turns out well. Our home seller was Weeks. We have been "Weeked" a few times.
Trying to decide whether to go to the gym or attack the linen closet. Neither is appealing. DH got a shingles shot yesterday and is feeling crappy. He was running the robot vac when I got home yesterday but quickly sent it back to its station (cell). But the floor is cleaner and I did not have to do it so no more griping.

Tee Hee CC sometimes you have to tell it like it is. Love the term "Kinbled" which I will now forever think of as gremlins. I am around of you for kindly being truthful. Good job. ds
Well perhaps they shouldn't have gloated about enjoying low maintenance. : )
Peps I did the same thing this summer with clothes. I went through the pile of when I'm thinner clothes and decided there was little chance I would get into the smallest ones I had saved. And if I was ever that small again, there would be lots of nice clothes I could buy for good prices at clearance sales and consignment shops. I released them into the universe (aka St. Vincent de Paul's Thrift Store) and felt lighter.

What should arrive in my email inbox today but an email from the Kimbles! He was nice and said they were in the neighborhood yesterday and thought of me and said the house looked beautiful and commented on the landscaping. He said they'd moved back to Sedona to a golf club that's around the corner and bought a townhouse and they're loving low maintenance living.
I responded to their email and now I'm kicking myself because I couldn't bite my tongue! I was super nice and said how much I love the house. In response to his low maintenance living comment, I said that I completely understood the appeal of low maintenance and commented how unforgiving the climate is on houses here. Here's the tongue biting part - I listed off all the things I've had to do, then said I was sharing not to complain, but to make him feel good about having sold! Probably shouldn't have said anything, but given I curse them daily, the devil got the best of me...
