LTG I am far from "all set," I'm sorry to say! But there's still time... I will leave Kansas City on Friday morning.

Well, WIP, you have plenty of time to pack. All you need is your camera and toothbrush, right? How did things go with Furnance Boy?

Yes, just getting outside is helpful for me. Even if it's just to the backyard.

Actually, I need a lot of stuff; the house is empty and I will be staying there; I'm taking enough stuff to be able to live in there for a week! Some kitchen stuff, cleaning supplies (stuff is more expensive in Florida than the midestern USA), a small fold-up bed, linens, a microwave oven (there's no stove, but I got a new fridge and put it in there my last trip down)... plus a camera and some clothes! The car (a Civic) will be totally full. Next time I will be able to fly without worrying about taking a lot of stuff... or I can drive, and take the dogs... One project for the week will be getting bids on a fence for the back yard...

Furnace is back on...

WIP, do your dogs like the lake?

Army Thread 13th January 2009

Thanks LTG -although I am hearing a lot of high pitched crying through the wall right now - not sure if it is their two year old or the newborn - can't remember if a newborn can cry/wail that loud, it's been awhile - god I think it's the baby hope he's ok

WIP - that sounds really exciting, hope you have a good trip. I am taking possession of an old Honda Civic next week - my brother is giving it to me to help me with my driving practice, it's old but in good nick, only prob is it's a saloon version with big boot/trunk and I think I'd be more confident in a smaller car but beggars can't be choosers and my hubby keeps telling me I'd be better learning in a bigger car and being able to park it etc. etc...we'll see!

Hi to everyone else -sorry but I keep missing posts, my MWO is real slow today and jumping posts and stuff

Goodnight again!

LTG, my dogs have never been down there; but generally speaking they are not water dogs (not like my old Labs!). Anyway, that's probably for the best. There's a seawall in the area of the lake where the house is, and usually the water level is a good 4 or 5 feet below the seawall... I would not want the dogs to jump in, because (a) it would be VERY hard to get them back out and (b) there are alligators in that lake!
