Back

I'm back, I arrived at home yesterday afternoon. It was a great trip. The weather was perfect, and we were able to golf 4 times. It rained one day which worked out well because it gave us the perfect excuse to spend the day shopping. Fun, fun, fun.

Very strange is....

I've been going to that house since it was constructed about 22 years ago. Never once have I even glanced in the crawlspace, (according to my mom, she didn't think that there was a vapour barrier...). This is the first trip that I have ever decided to do something about the stank. Kiks and I noticed immediately that the stank was almost non-existent. Also a first. When I ventured to the side door and looked down, lo and behold! The crawlspace hatch was open. Weird.

Thank God that there was vapour barrier in there! I guess it really just needed a good airing out, (despite 6 vents that are always open - in a way to prevent rain from entering) No snakes, no cobwebs in my hair, and best of all, no Kiks sucking venom from my ass. Whew! What luck! I bought a fan with a clip on it, ($6 Big Lots, I love Big Lots!), and put that along with an extension cord, and an old window screen in crawlspace, and left a note stating if the stank is bad, to open it up and turn the fan on. I'm truly brilliant. Okay, not really...

We did rake the leaves, which is considerably less work when someone is there to help you. It really is a welcome difference. I cleaned out the eaves and caulked (we had fun with that word...) a piece of wood that causes leaks in a bedroom window (yes, it's a temporary fix...). I weed whacked my heart out and the place looks great and ready for the few summer rentals we have. All right!

I also should mention that camping was great. Perfect weather, the drive-in was PACKED and fun, poochy and MomG had a good time too. Pics to follow when I have some more time.

Tonight some of us girls are heading to Mexican Village in D-Town to celebrate SuperT's birthday. Golf for me tomorrow night, Billy on Wednesday, and hopefully some time together on Thursday.

That's the short of it, I still have a pretty significant announcement to make, but I'll wait on that for a few days, as well as some pictures, stories, comments, rants and the usual.
