Enk – our house is actually less than 1000 sq.ft., but that doesn’t include the 1-car garage (woo hoo). It’s a cute little house actually, but you are so right, the kids make it seem even smaller than it is. We’re ready for some more space. Looking through the summer photos makes me yearn for the smell of green growing things again. Remember running through the early morning with the smell of jasmine and other blooming flowers wafting up from each yard you pass? Here’s my garden this year. Not very big, but it gave us lots of fresh tomatoes – I miss those big garden tomato/cheddar/Miracle Whip on whole wheat sandwiches: Okay, I’m ready for spring. (checks calendar impatiently)

Pet peeve: When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist asked what my problem was and I told her. At the office, the nurse asked me again, along with which leg, what part of the leg, etc. Then when the dr. finally came in, the first thing he says is "So, why are you here today?" I need to explain three times?

I went to the Dr because of a back strain. As I had just moved to the area, it was my first time there. The assistant asked if the Dr ever had me wear a gown.....I replied, "Some times on Saturday nights". When the Dr came in he said, "I'm not buying you flowers". It's good to read a Stumpy post 3.1 untimed miles. I went out with a out of town RD and helped plot the course for Saturday's snow shoe race. Why ask for a guide if you're not gonna listen???? Oh well, we got it done.
