Not right away. How about just before he comes back? We want the house to be not too bad while we’re here. Sleeping in a water house wouldn’t be much fun. ---

Did you know he had over 3000 pairs ? (I counted them, that’s why I’m late). He even has over a 100 of them with high heels ! Didn’t know that was available. ---

Don’t ask, man. I learned in the first half hour we were here after he left, just don’t ask. Make up your own answers. 😃 Now, excuse me, I’m going to borrow this black haired, blue eyed studmuffin that just walked in with the dancers and go take care of some chores. 😃 ---
