I don't like the liability of rental houses. I'd rather invest in some mutual funds.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-77339538729718778072016-02-01T20:54:41.698-07:002016-02-01T20:54:41.698-07:00squire, the pool worked great.

I was able to get a large delivery of water which saved me from either hauling water from my house in 50 gallon drums or paying for repeated deliveries. I'm trying to get by with the water that we have left for the remaining 4 months of school. If we were going to stay out here next year I would definitely need another delivery. If I ever get around to putting up gutters I could store extra rain water in the pool temporarily. Eventually, I hope to get some more large water tanks for water storage that have lids so that I don't have to worry about algae and mosquitoes.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-77247030941159487412016-02-01T20:49:00.723-07:002016-02-01T20:49:00.723-07:00Lizzie, it is going so fast.

Congrats to both of you!<br /><br />After several months of warm weather which sometimes rivaled yours in AZ, we here in New York got zonked with 2 feet of snow a few days ago. Want to come over and have a snowball fight, Daizy? You can show off your new sneakers! Can we see a picture of how they look on your feet?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-62232456284262562652016-01-28T20:57:33.098-07:002016-01-28T20:57:33.098-07:00Ideally, he will go to college.

I still want to sell the house though. That means he would have to do more chores around here and get a part time job.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-87309500661982212292016-01-28T20:31:08.781-07:002016-01-28T20:31:08.781-07:00Glad to here your Mom is well enough to come home ...Glad to here your Mom is well enough to come home and live independently again. <br /><br />Your nephew can still live with your after he graduates, right?
