Howdy Y’all! Home and dindin has been made and et. Hamburger steaks, onion gravy, smashed N.O.T. and succotash. The succotash is just cause it squicks **flytrap** out. 😃 OYKW is cleanin’ up the kitchen as I post. Yes, I allowin’ that to happen. He _insisted_ and I just can’t refuse when he gets all butch like that. Ok, also I’s tahrd and didn’t want to clean up. Plus, he’s stayin’ the night, so yay! **gotti** ouchie! Hope you get the tooth fixed/pulled soonest and without pain. **sari** the house next door to da cave is for sale for the paltry sum of $129,522. It’s a three bedroom, 2 bath ranch style home with 1604 square feet. [Check it out!](http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/206-Sportsmans-Club-Rd-Leesburg-GA-31763/93110148_zpid/) I am very disappointed that the best feature, livin’ next door to da bear, is not mentioned. Then again, I suppose that was left out to avoid hoardes of people stampedin’ the place. 😃 ---

**swampy** , the ad also doesn’t mention access to the neighbor’s cee-mint pond! :eek: I gotta say, that’s one ugly kitchen in that house. ugh. Supper was yum! I lurves me grilled tuna steak and the cuke salad was good, too, even tho it only marinated about 5 hours. Overnight is much better. ---

It only hides dark dirt. If you have a mashed potato battle, those cabinets wouldn’t hide it at all! 😛 ---

The black cabinets would have to go! I agree with **FCM** , that is one fugly kitchen. I like the rest of it and yes **Swampy** living next to the cave would be the best part. However, could the Bear live next door to me??? ---

I must say, I wish we had your house prices over this side of the pond- that much money would just about get you a nasty little studio flat with dodgy neighbours over 'ere. ---

Can we retrofit the sharks to hold a scoop of mashed N.O.T. under their fin tips? (Ya know, just in case they’re a little off target.) ---

It seems to me that one of us needs to win a mega-super-lottery and build a housing development to be called Mumper Estates so we could all be each other’s neighbors. Imagine the block parties!! :eek: Imagine the HOA meetings! :eek: Imagine the yard art! :eek: Imagine having the world’s supply of Mumpers concentrated within several acres!! :eek: Good times. 😃 It’s 72° and muggy - today will not be a pleasant day outdoors. Good thing I don’t have to be out there for any reason. And we’re looking at highs near 90° and chances of t-storms this afternoon and tonight. Stoopit summer. Anyway, I expect to spend much time in my studio, rolling out more clay for several promised projects. Oh yeah, and Higgs the drama queen seems to have gotten over whatever made her limp yesterday. I’m guessing it was a bug sting or some such. By yesterday evening, there wasn’t even a hint of a limp. Drama queen, for sure. So, Happy Wednesday, all! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 70 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 for the day and maybe afternoon tstorms. Just like everyday in Summer. We had some rain early yestiddy evenin’. I had no clue it was even rainin’ until I went to let the garage door down. **MOOOOOOM** I imagine the first thing we’d do after agreein’ to the HOA is start a revolt to dissolve the HOA. It would have to be that way. Mumpers thrive on chaos! 😃 Ok, that’s all I got for now. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence.

**swampy** , I didn’t mean to suggest that the HOA would have any power or purpose, other than to provide a forum for fun meetings! 😃 Imagine the snarky rules we could develop and the fines we could institute! Nobody said we’d have to enforce them. Plus meetings provide a good excuse to get together and nosh, right? 😃 ---

Morning, y’all. I continue to get my stamina back, but it will be a while before I’m myself again. Found out I have anemia, which will also affect my memory if I’ve mentioned it already. Whereas yesterday it took me 20 minutes to go from horizontal to on my feet, a change in sleeping arrangement had me up in under 5 this morning, with enough leftover energy to made brekkies unassisted. I’d love MMPer Estates. \*\*Rosie \*\*could come over any time to sing “Soft Kitty”.
