Since we've talked about charity shops, here's a 3-minute tour of my house. :) Pretty much everything came from charity shops. And we have a lot of open space; had even more of it before the piano. Which will be most difficult thing to get rid of in June...

Thanks for sharing!! I love to see international homes.

Ps. Your voice and accent are lovely!

[emoji35]how frustrating!!! I hate to get started on something and then be held up for reasons beyond my control... I hope they get back on track sooner rather than later for you! How are the torts doing with the transition or is it noticeable to them yet?

I know. We were so disappointed because we worked our butts off. Even on Mother’s Day.
He called this morning and said tomorrow! We shall see, pled it’s supposed to rain but my husband said that won’t slow him down.

On another note. We are closer to our master bath remodel! They are starting in a few weeks.
I’ve waited 9 yrs!!

We're supposed to have a week to ten days of overcast, drizzly days, with maybe one or two real good rains mixed in. At this rate I'm never going to get the weed problem under control. We have been warned of a winter storm warning for the foothills. "Winter" storm warning in May? We're supposed to be in the 80 degree weather patterns now. What is this world coming to? And we all pooh pooh'd the global warming idea.

Same here!! I just turned the heat on!!
We get more rain tomorrow.

My torts are not happy in this cool weather!

After many days of cold, dreery rain - SUNSHINE and warming temps. Got out early for a few kayaking miles and spotted many turtles up basking.

Two nice pix, two different types of Sliders - check out those reflections.

I’m impressed that they are so clean! Our turtles look like swamp monsters over here:)

There’s a toy monkey in pic 2, and we saw others. What’s the deal with that?

There's an expression we use that we want 'to talk to the organ grinder not the monkey' meaning we want to talk to the one in charge not someone less important.
In the past I think they used to have real monkeys when playing.

3 maybe 4 times a year.....
Your Mum is looking well, Ed she is obviously being looked after. The fact you have made such a journey to visit probably means more to her than having you living around the corner popping in regularly. You d what you can and that's all any parent could ask.

A lovely place you have there Lena and when you can pick up good furniture like that in charity shops I don't know why anyone buys new.
When you have to move around the world as you do it's great only to have to ship the things you really want to take with you.

By the way you have a lovely voice too!

When we had the end of year FFA banquet for my daughter, it was at a nearby smokehouse. It’s a really nice place that has recently built a big general store and an event center. Anyway, when I got there, one of the orchestrators was picking at me and told me not to walk around the corner of the building. Naturally, I had to go look. It was a large pen of very fat healthy turkeys. Son enjoyed seeing them. I had to later explain that that pen of turkeys at the smokehouse was not going to have a happy ending... He thought about it and informed me that he really liked turkey... to eat....he didn’t care about “those “ turkeys, but our baby’s were going back to the woods where they came from [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
You may have trouble persuading them to go back to the woods, because they think the first thing they see is their Mum, so they'll want to stay with you!!:)
