I wasn't too happy when my niece moved to a sided house down there, from a brick house - but she keeps telling me that she's 35 and knows what she's doing. So, you know, I just left it alone.

We're just not used to that kind of action here, but yesterday the temperatures plummeted again. We still had snow last week.

I could have gone anywhere in the States, but a 50 year old home always has tell-tale signs, and cracks about what it has been through already.

Florida, on the other hand has brand new homes and condo buildings disappearing in sinkholes. Wouldn't that be a kicker.

Yeah, the power companies are something else - we always had power outages at the farm, but not so at this house.

But then, the power lines were above ground there - here they are buried.
