Yesterday I went to lunch with a girlfriend I haven't seen in ages. She is having an affair (in Canada, not in TV, don't want to start any rumours!) So it was a long lunch. Broke down and had some carrot cake. Yummmmmm.

;D :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: Today we ordered the golf cart! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! The one I fell in love with. Black and Silver. Cool! It was a very good day! :joke:

I washed windows today. Lots of windows. Does that count?????

[beady]

Sam.....

Only if you like washing windows :dontknow:

[samhass]

Oh yeah, Beady. It was great fun. This is a huge house with two stories of glass in the kitchen, 18 glass doors in the house...I just counted..countless windows. I did not do them all. I realize now that when we lived here full time, all we did was work keeping this place looking amazing. I'm now older and smarter. This girl wants to have more fun. It's TV or bust, shortly. We have a great live in caretaker up here. He can do it.

[beady]

That definately qualifies as a good thing.....letting someone else do the window washing.
Get yourself back to TV soon.

[samhass]

I intend to. Very shortly.

[Rokinronda]

Bring your caretaker, my windows need washing!

[Barefoot]

Sam, we are all entranced by the idea of a caretaker washing our windows. Yes!! Can you send your caretaker to Ronda in TV by way of Canada? He should have a busy summer doing what we all hate to do. BTW, if you have dogs, windows stay clean approximately 2 1/2 minutes.

[samhass]

I don't have dogs. As for the caretaker, I have to do all the things myself so he can see how I like them done. Ahhhhhhhhh, I adore clean. It puts order in my little world. I'm getting it together up here. We still haven't decided whether or not to put this house back up for sale. That means repeated trips back up here. I am so tired of that trip. Next week it's TV or bust!!! (Sure hope it's not bust!!!)
Today is a day of being on a tractor and mowing, then weed wacking. Mr Sam has been obsessed with his big John Deere, the Kubota RTV , chainsaw and wood splitter. He wants to put up about 10 cords of wood while we are up here. He loves being in the woods. I intend to drag him out to play poker tonight whether he wants to or not. A girl has to have some fun. I fear all this work will make me dull. On the bright side, by the time I return to TV, I should be "strong like bull" from all the stairs and manual labor.

Lucky Sam, returning soon to TV. Sam, I completely understand the "man in the woods" syndrome. Fireboy is obsessed with cutting down trees with his chain saw, hauling them to the cottage with his backhoe, and then using his wood splitter. I'm supposed to do the stacking, ha ha. I'll be in the hot tub.

This year Fireboy is building a retaining wall at the Lake. Think of all the cutting and hauling. In some ways, it is rather endearing to see the little boy come out in a man. That is why we will always spend summers at the cottage, so he can move piles of dirt around with his backhoe. Oh well, I guess there are worse hobbies.

Fireboy told me recently that he actually prefers the cottage to TV. I've arranged for him to have a frontal lobotomy next week to correct that thought.

[samhass]

Oooooooo Bare, I'm sort of turned on by the backhoe. I love toys that move earth, rock, etc.

Spent part of the day with a good friend at a teacher conference. Spent the rest of the day sitting in the grass talking to my neighbor. Beautiful day.
