Wait im just reading that our Dark Overlord is MIA? When I first joined the room for the longest time I thought he was just a myth. Only recently found out he's real. Shoot I was just getting to know him.

It’s just a ridiculous situation!!! On the flip side, Murphy’s looking mighty handsome... have you started on your pond yet?

Not yet still in the planning stages. Just got back to work yesterday trying to get my life back to some normalcy.

Look, It's me!!
I'm beyond catching up on what's going on lately, maybe I can request a summary from you guys?
We are still trying to get things done, just put new flooring in the living room and dining room. We still have the kitchen to do but we have to wait for the flooring to be delivered next week (the store didn't have enough in stock)
My house is a jumbled mess from everything getting moved around so it's out of the way and us going through stuff (my husband has WAY to many tools and gadgets)
On top of everything I have been discussing a possible commission piece with a lady. Right now we are still discussing size and intricacies of the possible piece but it's sounding like a very large project. So probably the last one that I'll complete before we move.

I really do understand... you just do whatever your heart leads you to and we will all be thinking good thoughts for you! So, did I see more torts in one of your pics besides Murphy? If so, fill me in please.

Hey Brandy!!! I’m so glad to read ya... so what was the final verdict on where your moving to? When is this going to happen? Are you a bow hunter and if so, are you going soon? Seasons are opening everywhere if they haven’t already.. I’m more worried about your summary than mine:)

Thank you, honestly still feels pretty surreal right now. Murphy is my only Tortoise. I've got 5 Slider Turtles too. I've seriously been thinking about a Sulcata lately though. I live on an acre and a half so I've got the room. Just a thought still though.

All that talk about ironing and relationships... Oops, I totally forgot - gotta iron husband’s shirts. [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] Not see you all later, or I might end up divorcing more than just my iron...
My significant other just asked, "What kind of bloke doesn't iron his own shirts?"
I love that guy! :D

I know the feeling! I too was looking forward to meeting the man behind the myth... but I suppose he has as much right as any if the rest of us to be human, too.

No final decision yet, all the jobs have given hubby at least a month to decide which surprised me. In fact, hubby has an interview with ANOTHER company on Tuesday! This one is in Montana[emoji33]
I would prefer one in Texas though.
I'm hoping for the move to happen in early spring, but it may happen even sooner.
I won't be doing any hunting this year, a license is just so expensive here and we are trying to keep our fridge and freezer lightly stocked until after we move. Although I have plenty of deer and even elk passing through my tiny pasture regularly.

The city should be paying for and installing a new fence for you.
They are putting up nice block wall for the people who lost part of their yard for our widening.
Wouldn’t you love a nice 6’ block wall?
It sure would cut down traffic noise.

I hope you don’t lose your old driveway.
What they do is say, "We'll give you xx amount of $$$ (for all the stuff I listed in my post) plus for the property we're taking." Then I come back and say, "No way, Jose. It's going to cost me xx amount of $$ to replace, etc. etc." Then they give me another Quote. . . and back and forth.

Because they're cutting off the hill in front of my property they will be putting up a retaining wall, but I'm responsible for doing the fence and the other stuff I mentioned. That's why I need estimates, to be sure I get enough $$ from them.

So far good, I think. Not much action yet.

I put the rooted piece that I cut out of my aerobic system in the ground but I can’t tell anything yet either[emoji21]. My daughter says that being a tortoise keeper has given me a magical green thumb but I guess it only applies to their food..
