Our day at the Air Force open house






Asha loves planes, so I took her to the open house. We spent 30 minutes or so looking at the hardware, another 10 minutes flying her glider until she broke it and almost two hours in the kid area on the bouncy thing.

Kevin's Phone

Would be nice if you have someone that can speak english answer the phone and not hang up as soon as one says hello.

This again....

Not be be all "I told you so" but has anyone else looked at this? LOOK HERE
!
I say that looks like a hurricane headed right towards ..... drum roll .... New Orleans. So if it does drown that city again what does the nation do? This one may even reach category five. I would be getting out while the gettin is good.

How is the weather in Florida? Raining I hear. Just wait for you next hurricane, then you'll wonder why you didn't take a different job.

New Job?

We might be moving to Beijing. Will keep you all posted.

Other Rooms






from left to right or something like that....Guest Bedroom, Asha's Room, Master Bedroom, Living Room, Dining Room

Home Renovation





We purchsed a HDB flat (gov't housing) in June. We decided to go this route vs private as it was 1/3 the cost and twice the space. We ended up with a nice 1600 sqft 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath split level condo. We got a pretty good deal on it as the owner was looking for a fast sell as he needed the cash for his struggling business. What we didn't realize was that there was extensive water damage in the kitchen from the 2nd floor bathrooms. We'd hoped to delay repairs for a while, but finally had to give in and have the bathrooms done. The contractors hacked out over 4 inches of old tile and concrete. We subsequently discovered that waterproofing had never properly been done. Once we have a clear idea on the job situation we'll be doing the kitchen next, as there is water damage on the ceiling and cabinets. Our fridge also sits in the dining hall as we don't have space in the kitchen given the current design.

New House

Chris did close on her house on Wednesday and moved in today. She waited a few days because she was afraid of the hurricane or of the rain. Luckily, the hurricane switched courses and they just got hit with rain. She moved today hoping to avoid most of the rain, but still got some of it. As for the no invite to the party, you were having a party of your own. Remember, you had family in town and you went rafting jabberwock. Nice new blog.

mainly a fishing thing. See the link.

so why didn't any one let us know about the going away party for GrandMa and Julie and the associated water slide event?

P.S. so has anyone heard from the Homeless Fosters about if Hurricane Fay has drowned them out of house and home(less)?
