Where I've been

A registered sex offender moved in on the street that runs parallel to ours. Yet more shed and garage break-ins, lately (I asked the cop who stopped by to see if we'd heard anything during the last break-in, "Is it mostly teens?" He replied, "Teens and crackheads". Oh joy). We're working very hard in the addition because, when it's done, we're putting our house on the market and getting out of this neighborhood before it nose-dives us right into the dirt.

I'm sorry if I've missed anything important. Hugs and vibes to all that need them.

Ah, I love the smell of spackle in the morning.

You guys be safe. Or call my icon, and she'll come protect you.

Together, we'd kick his 6'3", 230 lb. ass! Right? Right?.... Yes, he's *that* big and he's considered "high risk". :(

The mostly petty crimes coupled with the slow decline of the neighborhood had us contemplating moving for some time but this just gave us that extra "push".

Not that I think sex offenders can't be anywhere (obviously they can - from all walks of life) but it just seemed like a "memo from above", when I got the automated call from the police, that we needed to stop contemplating and do something about moving to a nicer area.

I don't like change but sometimes it's necessary.
