Finally, luck worked in our favor. The housing office sent us to check out another house on base today. It was a 2 bedroom, 2 story house with a mostly finished basement. There is also an attached, heated garage. It looks really nice. On Tuesday they are supposed to lock down a date that we can actually move in. YEAH! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!
Also, we went to a local restaraunt tonight. I won't mention the name because it was HORRIBLE! Outside, the sign said 'Fine Dining' but they had a dirt parking lot and no door! I know, at this point we should have left. Anyway, I figured we'd give it a try. When we got inside and saw the menu they had things like spaghetti with meat sauce for $16. I ordered the Cordon Bleu for $22. Ouch! The lettuce from the salad bar had a weird bitter taste. The glasses were dirty, the waitress took FOREVER to bring refills, lost my straw, and on it goes. It SUCKED. I have had relatively few "never again" kind of meals but this was one.
At the new house there is a small back yard, maybe 15 by 15 feet (or less). And then a strip around the side of the house that is probably 10 by 40 feet. I figured it would be a waste to buy a big gas mower (even used) for such a short season and small yard. I've been told that during the summer, the 24 hours of daylight makes grass grow like wildfire. So SweetPea thought it might be a good idea to buy a push reel mower, you know, the old fashioned kind? Wow! Have you looked at the prices of old-fashioned non-powered mowers? Anyway, it still sounds ideal for such a small yard and only 3-ish months of mowing a year.
