The house itself is nothing. Mine is nothing compared to the area.
It's the yard and the fun we've had there that sucks to leave.
Look how happy Louise is he

I'm the tall fat guy here. You'll see crab legs on the left. We cook
there A LOT!

I weigh 3-4 times what the kids weigh so I made sure the swing was
safe.

This is the arbor that's in the background or the first picture after
it had some vines. It took Louise two years to collect the vines to
make it. It's strapped to poles with the cable ties cops use for the
nice folks they arrest.

I'm still scrambling for a way to keep that place but it ain't looking
to promising. I lost everything 25 years ago to cocaine and a
miserable bitch but I climbed out and did well. I can do it again but
it's not going to be as easy these days.
Chemo recently mentioned his situation. That pretty much should make
one think about what's on their plate. I can lose my house but I
don't have cancer. My foot has been carved up four times and has bone
from my hip in it and I hurts 24 hours a day but I can walk. You,
more that others might understand that.
I'm way past OT so I'll shut up. But I'll post a picture of the
cherry tree next week. Amazing soup it makes!
