2nd time around since last one just went POOF!

Hi folks, just a quick peek out of my hole. Sorry, just been too busy and too tired to find energy to post. Also working on holding off one of those depression thingies. Ptooie!

Well, whatever. Just plugging away with work to IMPROVE and that helps. Have THREE WHOLE DAYS off starting tonight where we're even going to close early to go out to dinner with some friends.

Been house hunting again and hmmm, indeed, a couple possibilities, though one has really jumped to top of the list. Another built in the 1800 monster only THIS ONE WAS TAKEN CARE OF! Actually has things like walls, lol. 11 rooms (PLUS several bedrooms) solarium, fruit trees, 10 acres of woodlands...but we'll see. So much changing with economy and all that. Still, much, much, much research needs to be done as yet before we think what to do here...

Ugh, brain is shot, so going to just chill a bit till dinner.

Be back soon as can,

cheers,

Melissa

Okay, went out to dinner at this place called the Blue Oar, outside joint by the dock.

'Kay, was told be a little gathering of the gallery folks where I used to work...get there and get "Here's you retirement party, Melissa!"

Yikes!

Ursel, the wonderful lady and 2nd mother I used to work for goes okay, know it's been 25 years (almost) but no plaque. Got something for your tummy instead, and pulls out a huge bottle of Baileys. LOL!

For later, brought couple bottles of red vino and that's why I'm zooming now.

Couple shot (picts) for yas then I'm going to go walk into a wall or something...
