We're without our two big boys this morning. They spent the night with Grandma last night. It's always
soooo very weird when any one of them are gone, and especially weird to have them both gone right now. Sage is lost, to say the least. But he did get lots of mama and papa attention all for himself last night. He's happy watching his cartoons at the moment.
John and I are seriously entertaining the thought of listing our house for sale, and buying something in the 'multi' family category. The economy is scaring the sh** out of me right now. And since our income relies on funding (road work!),
eeeeeeeeek! Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, all is as it should Be, Trust, Trust, Trust...............
Well, minor panic attack over, and moving on! So, if we bought a duplex, then the renter helps to pay our mortgage. Frees us up to travel more, opens up doors of opportunity when less of our money is sunk into our mortgage. Enables us to pay down that blasted cc debt. It's something that the boys need to be excited about, too. They're such free-flowing spirits, they're usually
ok with just about anything! They occasionally ask to sell the house and live in the bus again. I do know they love their home base as well, so the win/win would be to find a way to have both.
The biggest, most exciting news these days is that the boys and I are planning a big, fat
road trip to attend the
LIFE is Good Conference in May! We're so excited, and already counting down the 5o something days until we leave. We'll drive out from here. John will be back at work in the twin cities, so if we can find a cheap ticket for him, he'll fly out and join us for the Memorial Day weekend. We are, of course, reserving the right to hang out in Oregon for as long as we wish, or until we're tired of sleeping on
their floor.
On the ticket for today:
1. egg dying in our back yard, in the southern sun, warm and wonderful
2. a bike ride, in the sun, warm and wonderful (with Grandma, too!)
~~~~~~~~~~Peace, Love, Free~~~~~~~~~~
*oh, and speaking of which,
SHE will be at Life is Good, too!
Life ***IS*** Good, truly...
