Back on the Hunt

House interested in went into pending. It was listed on Friday, we saw it Saturday, we decided we wanted to make an offer Sunday, and some time on Monday night it went pending. 

Though not as disappointed as Paul, still feel sad.  It always takes me a bit of time to get around to a new idea and big change.  This one was starting to warm up on me - the problems I first saw were being smoothed out in my mind, and the benefits were starting to glow... to have it halted at such a stage is horrible.  Maybe if it was even a day ago, it wouldn't feel like such a loss, but to actually find out only when we met up with Paulette to make offer (taking time off work for the appointment)... ouch.  I know it's even harder for Paul since he really fell in love with it. 

Just have to get back on the hunt. 

Thanks: Sunsets, Beets, and Babe

Happy Thanksgiving Feast! 

The sun was strange... columnar.  But it did set, so we got on with Feasting. 

Rem made spanakopita and roasted beets (in their skins!)*.  It was a little hard trying to think of other tasty foods when we were enjoying such fare, but it had to be done: we must find things to feed Steph (during a regular day, and when Rem is away :P). 


* Jitterbug Perfume had made me believing beet skins were too intense for the weak of heart/nose.

And, then somehow the talk turned to what needs to be done to get Paul as the permanent ESO tuba player.  Maybe "take out" the current one...?  Oh, but he is friend.  (Don't worry, Scott.)

Love is...

... warming up my side of the bed before I get in because it's so cold.
