Yeah, I guess they probably did. I know what I'm like when I see kids getting into it; I laugh, the parents do not, until later.
Thanks for your kind words and for dropping by, I figured you were busy or away somewhere.

RE: Small moment
I was back at the shore, power washing the house until the pain of one of my molars came out of nowhere. :(
It'll get there. Sorry I missed all the fun.
Hey! That's my job for when I come and house sit it! It's ok though, you can do it. I'll just laze around and do bugger all.
I love those wooden houses; so much character. But, quite a lot of work. It looks really cool. I hope you're deploying the safety first ethos with that ladder though. You know most injuries happen around the house, and as a man who not long ago fell off my roof...Well, care should be taken.
Hehehe... It is cleaning up pretty well, and I hire a lot of the big work out. The other stuff is busy work and with Covid, I still have free time to do it. My kids really love the house and the ocean there. Plus, the wild ponies are close by.
It will be much nicer when the screens are back on and the windows cleaned and the shutters on. Shutters are all painted already. The inside has been restored almost and I am thinking I might redo the kitchen. They broke the oven and that is a good enough excuse to redo it as I did it inefficiently the first time. It will be a winter project.
I am extremely careful and my brother who lives four doors down from here (at the shore) just fell off a ladder at work- flat onto his back. Let me just say he is in a world of hurt and needs surgery. :/
It sounds like a nice project. Here I am getting excited about there being a strawberry on one of my plants and you're doing a whole house. :)
Your bro lives a few doors down? Ok, I'll remember that. No loud parties...(As if I'm the loud party dude.) Lol.
Four doors here means a mile or so. My blackberry plant excited me. It's the little things.
Always.
Little things all concatenated over a lifetime make for a better life. So yeah, blackberries yo! 😜
How is your back as of late? I couldn't believe that happened. :(
It's always a little problematic to be honest; a lasting gift from years of heavy packs and equipment and abusing it. I played American football for ten years also. Didn't help. I tend to go ok though, it flares up now and then and I suffer. Other than that, I'm fighting fit. (Hmm, maybe I should just say fighting)
Make sure you keep those muscles around the injuries in good condition to support them. You need to take good care of yourself, back pain is the worst.!
Yeah, it doesn't help having some arthritis in my shoulders and shoulder-blade area but you're right. Keep the muscles strong. The G-dog is made of granite Denise, all good. Thanks though, I know you're a caring person.
I ask you, how could anyone live in a house that looked that dirty? Of course, it will be painted too.
I figured, houses like that need attention, always. My brother lives in what's called a Queenslander. Like your house but built on stilts. It's a Far North Queensland thing and they're rarely seen outside of that State. Like this sort of thing. Constant work.
Oh, yes!! That is sweeeet! I really like it. It is a lot of work, but, much of it is hired out. It is still enjoyable right now and until the pandemic is over, I will be keeping the house to have a getaway. The kids like it too and It's fun to have a bunch of young people there on some of the off weekends.
Besides, they go fishing and crabbing and pic up mussels and clams. Who doesn't love a seafood fest?
I'm rather jealous of it you know, your place. You'd better keep your eye on it or you might just arrive and find a G-dog in residence. :)
I love it, but, not for the place as much as the good times had here. Memorable. Oh! And the nuts! 17 pecan trees and 17 black walnut. Scattering of fig trees. I have to fight off th s squirrels.
Okay. I am officially jealous. What a house full of complexities. Love it!
That's not my brothers of course, but it's almost identical. All modern inside and pretty swish...Or as I like to say now, swiggly. 😆
🤣
