Swimdawg: Several moons ago I worked for the government and use to tell people I was working with that phrase and for some reason, they seemed to like it? Maybe it was because, being the kind of person I am, I actually meant it!

Sorry I missed most of this thread while we were in the Ozarks. Now there were some real views! Happinow: I hope you get things resolved soon. "Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be." Abraham Lincoln Sometimes the so called government can be of help.

Up here at Lake Michigan, we have a saying: if you buy a house with a view, you better OWN the view...

We say that in Ohio too. I think we said it first.

Happinow, someone told me the folks that are out your back door put in their landscaping. What do you think?

Is it better than you feared?

Oh, ready? We have nothing to fear but fear itself. I bet that landscaping isn't nearly as bad as it was feared. And, if so, Happinow has built such a beautiful home along with her magnificent pool, spa, and entertainment lanai, they will slowly adjust to what appears to be a nuisance now but is simply someone building their dream as well.

No! We said it first! You have the best corn, remember?

Let me settle this once and for all. We said it first on a rainy night in Georgia. Plus, we have the best peaches.

Anyway, whoever said it first, it's as true as the sky is blue.

Nonetheless, I hope Happinow's environs turned out fine. Did they, Happinow?

Huh. We have peaches too, here in MI. As for comparing them to GA peaches, I won't even go there.

Happinow's green light is on, so she is online now. I'm hoping we get an update.

I thought she wrote in an earlier post that nothing had happened yet, which I took to mean that nothing has yet been planted? Just wondering. See post 177

Jane ... After Happ's post # 177 saying that nothing had happened, Gracie posted and said she thought the neighbour's landscaping was in. Just wondering how it looks. After 208 posts on this topic, I'm thinking that folks would like to hear what happened.

My guess is enough pressure came to get the guy to submit landscape permits filed and just waiting for approval.

If Happynow was happy I think something would have been posted.
