Back on Line...Again

Well, Internet has been down again since Thursday morning. We're up again, but who knows for how long. We're not sure if this is still remnants of the ice storm, or maybe a bigger problem. Anyway, we're learning to live with the uncertainty. Fortunately since it's the holidays neither of us have much work to do, so we're enjoying the respite a little bit, and don't mind feeling "out of it" just a little. Not too much though. Nice to have it back and feel like we're in touch with the world again.

My parents closed on a house on Thursday two streets over from ours. My plan was to take a photo of it Thursday afternoon and post it, but since we had no Internet I scrapped that plan. It's a great little house, but it needs to be totally updated. What an adventure! We've been there, done that and promised we'd never do it again. But this house is really worth it. We're using the same contractor that we used for our house and for Kyle's mom's house...and we swore we'd never do that again either. But, we should have known better and remembered that we NEVER say never. I'm proud of my parents for tackling this. It will be good to have them closer to us, and the time is right for them to make the move. We've all been talking around it for several years, but the right house just never came on the market. This one is close, on a good street, and has a great floor plan. So that will be our little project for the New Year. It will be fun to watch it go from 1973 to 2008. I'll post a picture tomorrow, IF we're still on line.
