Gone Swimmin'

Yesterday we drove five hours so that today we could be at our other house. Yes, we have two houses, but it's not like it sounds--this one has its problems, believe me. It's very old and the kitchen needs updating, like to this century.  There's a hole in the bathroom floor that I think leads to China and most of the windows need to be propped open with sticks. It's also "shared" with friends who, if they are not in the middle of negotiations with the producers of that reality TV show about hoarding, should be. They come here more often and are unfamiliar with the concept of garbage, hence there are things in the fridge wrapped in aluminum foil that are best left undisturbed. But it does have a really nice heated pool, and that makes up for everything.

I'm going in now and will not be coming out until Saturday, weather permitting.
