Foot Up and Fingers Typing

I'm back to being solo in Clermont…the family visited yesterday but they went home in the afternoon.

I was happy to show my Grandmother my house for the first time. It was only with her name as a co-signer that I was able to qualify for a loan/mortgage! Don't get me wrong…I am the only one paying all the bills…but I needed her excellent financial standing to convince the Watson people that I was a qualified home-owner.

Yesterday was also my Mother's first visit in over a month. She hadn't been back since we finished painting all the walls. That was pre-kitchen, pre-gas plumbing, and pre-furniture installation. Basically, the last time she was here it wasn't really 'livable'. I was happy to offer her a seat on the couch, or a glass of water from the kitchen, or a nap on one of four beds!

My Dad caught a ride home with the ladies after he drove me over on Tuesday night. After shuttling me to the Master's swim practice on Wednesday morning, we stopped by Lowes for a quick purchase to fix my shower faucet (when the water does NOT shut off…it's time to replace something)! He also helped me do some grocery shopping so that I am set for a few days, carried in all my Bed, Bath & Beyond purchases (I now have a toaster and one pot for cooking on the stove!), and wore Louie out with the feather-on-a-stick toy!

Can you believe that I have Louie again? I know that I promised to stop writing about the silly cat a few weeks ago, but that was back when I thought he was here to stay! Basically, you are going to have to deal with a few more "Louie Posts" because it's kinda like I have a new cat…the same cat, but new. So here are some photos of my 'new' cat and pretty soon he's going to have a collar around his neck with some identification numbers so no one ever mistakes him for a stray again!

Did someone fall in the sink when it was full of water and soap?...and then get scrubbed from top to bottom?...and then get all dried off in a warm and fuzzy towel?

Ummmmmm…Excuse me…don't freak out, but, I think there is something in your laundry basket!!
