  Another photo from my hotel room. I'm not seeing much of Southern California, stuck going to meetings all day.

    I woke up at 5am and left for California at 7. It seemed like I traveled all day, but actually got here around noon. Funnny thing, tha...

We met with the real estate agent this morning and made a counter offer on the Tahoma house, and filled out a contract for the Hanover hous...

The one we are going to make an offer on. Amazing through and through. Called the Tahoma House.

So far this looks like the best house so far. All fresh paint and updated floors. Nine foot ceilings. Nice street close to shopping and res...

We looked at a dozen houses in the rain today and there are two that really stand out. This one, Ashland, the estate of Henry Clay, was no...

Alas, I did not go out today. I worked a half day then crawled into bed. My pathology report came back though and all was benign. Good news!...

I spent the day in bed- did a little work at the computer, but mainly laid low with a heating pad. All day. Dan was out helping somebody p...

No walk today. I managed to take a good nap and avoid pain pills though. I ventured outside long enough to photo our new bushes!
