The new digs

We are so excited to be in our new digs! The house is like Mary Poppins: practically perfect in every way. And never mind that the garage door came off it's track on Saturday, and that the garbage disposal got jammed on Sunday. They were OUR garage door and OUR garbage disposal that busted and that Jasper fixed all on his own, without getting someone else's permission to fix.

We don't live in a cul-de-sac, but on the corner of an "L" shaped street. This gives us a great big corner lot, a little more street parking, but not too many drivers going by. It's three bedrooms with a great big loft for a play room upstairs. The kids know exactly what to do with their backyard, and don't seem to mind the crusty dead grass (thank you Texas drought) under their tender, young paws.

I have a music room right off the front hallway, and already have it filled with pianos and office furniture. And I guess it doesn't matter that our "two car" garage wouldn't fit two cars anyway, since Jasper will be gone so much anyway. He comes home to sleep and, if he's lucky, see his children. But at least he comes home happy, even if he IS dog tired. He's livin' the dream, folks! It just makes me realize how blessed we've been throughout our lives, especially with all these things coming together. It's nice. Very nice.
