Jumpshot.

We made an offer on the Avenues house today. It's contingent on our selling our current house, so we're going crazy trying to get our home ready for strangers to walk through it and hopefully decide they want to live here. There's so much to do. I feel like I'm trying to walk through water.
The above photo is from the hotel my mother and I stayed at in New York. Notice the toilet paper in stereo. The bathroom was between our two tiny rooms.

These two photos were taken by my mom when she and I took a trip to Twin Falls, Idaho in the spring of 2006. The top photo is from southern Idaho on the Interstate. She took it out the car window while I drove.
Below you see the the Snake River next to a pottery studio near Miracle Hot Springs outside the tiny village of Hagerman.

I love the dueling toilet paper rolls. At least you had an actual bathroom in your hotel. Larry lived for years in a 6th floor walk-up apartment in Manhattan. No bathroom, just a little closet with a toilet. The shower was located in the kitchen.

I love Hagerman. We have friends with a cabin there.
I'm off to Twin Falls in a couple of hours. See you later, alligator.

Everyone loves a good bungalow! I'm certain your old house will sell.

So if you stayed in the right-hand room, you used the toilet paper on the adjoining wall?

In London we stayed in a hotel with an add-on bathroom in the room. It was like one from a trailer installed in the hotel room. You had to step up, and the entire thing was made of plastic except the metal guard for the tp so it didn't get wet while you showered. Hilarious.

Ahh Big Sky Country
Now I know, that Idaho isn't usually known as "Big Sky Country" but having lived in Logan Utah for the past 8 years, I miss seeing a horizon! There is something magic about these mountains of ours, but there is also something just very free and rewarding about coming down out of the mountains and seeing my beloved Idaho (yeah I'm from Twin Falls) and seeing a horizon stretching out as far as I can see. Makes me feel like I can Breathe! (course with inversions, it's actually kinda true)

Those are great pictures. I love the sunset! When I see those things, I just want to take a snapshot with my mind, knowing that a camera would never do it justice. But, this camera did, just beautiful!
Good luck selling your house!

Keeping a house on the ready to sell is difficult with a new baby and other children. I've done it once. (He is now a 30-year old man.) The hosue sold quickly. But the moving was worse. Just when you want to settle in to nursing and regular days, packing takes over your life.
