How's everyone doing? I'm waiting for the foundation crew to get here to fix my flooding issues. Hate waiting. As soon as this is done I have a company set up to replace all my floors. Have put most of what I own in a storage unit, before the floor people get here I'll have a moving company move what's left to the unit. Then once all the floors are replaced I'll have the moving company move everything back.
I still have the JL dve/book collection if anyone knows anyone that needs it. Denise, what other JL site is there? I'll post there also.

I’m clearing out my house in preparation to putting it up for sale. We are moving out most everything that isn’t absolutely essential. Since we aren’t taking the majority of our furniture it is slowly being given away. Lots of clothes and household items too. The houses we looked at are both still available. I’m hoping this sells very quickly as I hate camping out in the house. It’s good getting rid of the junk but I also wish I could keep some of the furniture I really like but oh well. I’ve resigned myself to not caring any more. I fell down our spiral staircase the other day. I was going down after the dog and my foot slipped and I fell about 3 steps. My right leg went through the railing and I have several bruises and knots on it. My left arm caught on the top pole and I have a bruise under my upper arm where it caught me and a big one on my forearm where it hit the railing at the top. The funny thing is that my left shoulder, which has hurt and has been difficult to use and raise for almost 20 years, now feels better and I can raise it above my head full length without pain. I smacked it really hard against the metal pole when I fell and it stopped me from going further down. It has felt like it wasn’t quite in the right place for years although the x-rays didn’t show that. It feels like it was knocked back into place. Maybe now my hand won’t keep going slightly numb anymore.

HS; that's why I sold my old home, I just kept falling down the stairs. It actually felt good to have the charities come & take my stuff! I'd just point & if they wanted it they took it. I hope you can sell your home quickly & buy the house you want.

I' not sure V but someone said there's another site where all the JL people went after John closed his down. Seems like I tried it out a few yrs ago and they have a page where the old names and who they are now exist so you can find who you were friends with. Been a while ago. I hear you with the falling but I'm falling over dumb stuff like the ice on the ground or the wet algae on the patio. I haven't fallen down the stairs yet although I've fallen UP them a couple times.
HS you're really going huh? are both prospective homes in Montana? You could have an auctioneer come out and sell everything for you, helps to have the money to replace your furniture when you get there. AND everything will go so you won't have piddly stuff left over. It's possible it was out of place, cool if it turns out you fixed it by the fall you took. Sucks to have the bruises though. I got butt shoved into the bolt/nut on the walk through gate, hurt like crazy. Rain went through with me and slammed me into the side where the hardware was. Funny thing it hurt but barely turned purple.
It was BEAUTIFUL for 3-4 days and then a little rain pockets Sat,Sun and Mon. While it was nice the amish community, ALL of them came over and cut wood. We had 30 buggies tied up down below and Lester hired the guy with the skid steers, who brought these humongous trailers with tall walls. His skid steers have these things that hold a 1/2 cord of wood at a time and the amish would load it and the guy would fill the trailer and take it to one amish house after another. They pulled all the good wood out of the piles of tree tops and they cut, split and loaded wagons and trailers all day long. They went till after 6 pm. Then Lester and the guy with the equipment burned the piles left over on Friday. There is still wood on the other side of the creek, up the hill and close to the back of the corral. It's harder to get to it because the creek runs back and forth a couple times and they have to pull the trees out into the clearing to cut and split it. There's maybe one more day and it'll be finished and I can cross fence and plant it.
On a bad note, truck broke down and I took it to the mechanic last mon. Went and got it on Fri it was a cracked distributor cap? Didn't have any trouble going to and from work on Sat but Sunday I got 1/3 rd of the way to church and it started cutting out again, but this time not running so rough. Took it back today so hopefully it'll be a fuel filter or something easy and cheap. UGH I'm driving the big truck for now, it's a lot harder on gas.
Got my tax return filed today. Sucks they changed a couple of the tables so I will get less but at least I get something.

GR, yes both homes are in MT. If we don’t get the one we want then I guess it wasn’t meant for us. There’s a back up and also more places we didn’t really look at before that might be more appealing since we visited the area. Sometimes what the pictures show isn’t the whole thing. They take them based on what the majority of buyers are looking for and leave out things that have less people interested in them. If they think you want trees they might not show that rocky hillside and it might just be the thing you’re looking for. Their perception of the terrain can be limited too. The realtor told us that down by the town of Plains it was just flat. It wasn’t flat but it certainly wasn’t as mountainous as the town she lived in. So far my shoulder is doing great. I still feel some twinges when I move it in certain ways but the constant ache is gone, I can easily raise my arm over my head, and even sleep on that side again. I had mentioned numerous times that it just didn’t feel like it was in quite the right spot. Sometimes if I would stretch it by hanging by that arm or lifting something heavy with it I would feel better for a little while. I guess it was out just enough to hurt but not enough to show on an x-ray. The bruises are a lovely shade of purple and yellow now with the whole front of my right shin being yellow. Good thing I didn’t break my leg, I haven’t shaved them for a while and I’d hate to have strangers see them that way. When I used to ski my thought was always you better shave those before you go just in case you break your leg.

nothing like deleting my whole friggin post!! urgh
So is the property one that you posted? I'd love to see it again if you still have it saved. Yeah I don't mind purple but hate it when it turns green and yellow, so ugly. I know when my rib in back is out when it kills me to turn over.
I got my airfare to WY tonight. Going to fly down and back and borrow a friends horse. He's a gaited Rocky Mnt, 16.2hh, just like RAIN! LOL I go down Aug 6-12. Won't need so much time off although I'll probably take it anyway. Got to put in my vac time when I go in to work tues.
My niece is 18, graduates in May. She went to FL with two friends, they drove. One friend has a grandma in FL and they're staying there. Then she found out my aunt and cousins are only 20 min from the friends GM. They say everyone is only 6 people away from being connected, maybe in distance too?
She learned to ride on Buddy when she was only 4 and now she's all grown up. Funny Buddy is starting to look his age, the slump of the top line, the sagging tummy. He was 24 this winter, wow!
