You know, since I’ve been keeping a house hunting blog I’m finding I’m all blogged out when it comes time to write my weekly blog entry.

Ali and I are going to be taking a trip to Alabama towards the end of June. I can’t wait.

“Nashville, Chattanooga, Bama line I’m comin’ to ya!”

Did any of you ever see the cartoon where porcupines are getting killed left and right trying to cross the road? One of them finally gets the bright idea to dress like a human and go to the Clerk’s office where he petitions to get a porcupine crossing installed to keep his brethren from being run over.

Obviously today is no exception, except that I had two topics to discuss only I’ve completely forgotten what one of them was, and the other is still fermenting.

The bear was back this morning, and I got to see it. The bird feeder got left out again which prompted his return. Ali saw him while he was standing on his back legs to get at the feeder, and she came and woke me up so I could see. He had already begun his retreat by the time I got to the window, and there was … Read More »
