Meriruka's Tales - need advice on squash

[MorelCabin]

What a wonderful piece of heaven you have there! Wow! I absolutely love your place...all of it! Oh, you are so making me want an emu! Wouldn't my neighbors love me??? Are they noisy? LOL!

So watch out for friendly ones, they might be aggressive

Is she still talking about the emus?

I think *most* livestock handling axioms probably apply to men too

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the house. I loved them. Why were the yellow jackets in the ground? Is that normal where you live?

Aha! See? I'm not the only one.
Apparently in this particular spot on the planet, they DO live in holes they bore into the ground. It's just wrong. Like a trap set for city people.

I'm sorry you were scared, but that is just too funny. sorry. teehee.

Almost done the dr/office carpet project. One visible seam, but not a whole lot I can do about it but I'm pretty pleased with the results:

I've been contemplating getting a pair of emu chicks from a nearby town, just weighing pros & cons & doing research.........mostly wondering if it's a crazy idea or not....

My Mom's dining room table is identical. She loves that table.

The table was a gift from my Dad when I got my first house. I was using a card table up until then. I've often thought of selling it, because let's face it, I'm hardly going to have formal dinner parties here
Anyone that comes over, we hang out in the kitchen even though there's a perfectly good sofa & loveseat in the library. I wonder why that is? Just seems like the right place to be.

OMG how have I missed this??? And I just thought I'd let you know that I am en route to your house to live. I'll stay in the cabin with the chickens (we'll have a grand time), as long as I don't have to deal with the Emu. I've heard they are mean!

Seriously, I love your house! How awsome it would be to have all of that to yourself...aahhh (minus the turd for a neighbor). Would the neighbors think you were living in sin if another woman was there? HA! Just kidding!

There actually is a pair of ladies up the road a ways that are gay.
Everyone is scared to death of them - as if it's contagious or something.
I've met them and they're very nice and perfectly content to shut out the world & live in their little house. Everyone should be so happy...

But yeah, it is nice to have all this room. Even after 4 years I still sometimes look around and can't believe the place is mine. If only the lawn was self mowing, but after all this snow, I think I'd actually be glad to have to mow!
