Must have been a "moving kind of weekend". We also moved my oldest dd (and her future dh) into their recently purchased "new" home. Fortunately they haven't accumulated too much "stuff" yet - not to mention he's definitely NOT the type to hang onto stuff, and they moved from a 2-bedroom condo, so . . . .<br />Looking forward to your future sewing posts. <br />DesigndreamerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-3037788400974133252012-05-11T00:27:48.227-04:002012-05-11T00:27:48.227-04:00I don't have any words of commiseration, I do ...I don't have any words of commiseration, I do think you kicked butt with your response to some slimy people.

The pool is so nice looking and the dog and the boy look happy to be chilling out.
