Updating my update. Truly enjoyed my new home this weekend. SIL helped me move the big swingset to my new backyard. Mowed, raked, burned. Decorated for Fall. I am very, very close to saying goodbye for good to the 'dream house'. House of broken dreams is more like it.

Had a really great weekend, just wish it wasn't over.

Didn't get to go to church as I had no power/hot water. Squirrels are very active around here and keep getting into the transformers and blowing the block's power. There weren't this many squirrels out in the country where I was! Tree rats, my friend calls them. They wake me up in the morning chasing each other across my roof.

There is an old wives' tale about the activity of squirrels designating a rough winter. At the rate they are going at it, this Winter could be a dooZy.
