WOW! What wonderful pictures! WHo knew we cleaned up so good? Tho I do not recall owning a pair of spider gloves, I sure as heck am a big fan of them.

I have been having great fun with House. We have been deciding on what is going to get re-modeled ( the tiny bathroom, the master bedroom closets and the entire porch, some of the kitchen, the ceiling of the back bedroom ) and what colors it will all be painted ( anything except what is currently there, I do shudder ) I will take some more pictures for you soon.

I have not been having fun trying to get gas and electricity, two things no home should be without. Who knew it would be difficult. I am a ( somewhat ) sane adult women with a perfect credit rating, but it seems the previous were not so careful with their bills and there was a shut off notice there today.

Silly me, I thought that simply saying I had purchased the house and was the new owner and desired to be signed up would be sufficient. I sat on the phone for an hour talking to an increasingly dour set of folks , tho in fairness they started out nicely. By the time I reached the STATE CREDIT INVESTAGOR , as dour a chap as one will ever talk to, the questions had become ludicrous. Background check? Next of kin? Faxes of the closing papers on the house????

Hello?

Candles people, I will need candles. And wood. For I do not believe the Great and All powerful Gas/Eletric company is going to deem me worthy of anything else.

More on House as the situations develop, as they no doubt will, such an adventure.

As Malena says, we are leaving for Boston on Saturday to record with Chris Ewan, which will be nothing but wonderful, then back here for a couple of concerts at Convergence, which will also be wonderful, then she is off to travel.

I’ll just come home and sit in the dark.

Love and light,
Lorraine
