HAD a camp house on oak island.. this is left. different angle with karly-bob in it. isn't he cute!?!? hehe the only house near us with anything left... i dont think it should be considered as a house anymore.. it's hollowed out completely! you can see the fan has one blade on it left. across the canal.. my favorite picture they took.. this sign did not come from oak island.. we think it might have came from bolivar or that direction.. but it was there by our camp house.. ... 2008-09-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=569624 i went to the astros game.. very awesome!! they kicked major tail.. get back to the car. walked around it, and didn't see any scratches. very awesome! a guy parked kinda close as we were walking away, and i was worried about him hitting the vue with his truck doors. opened up the back door and saw all the glass in the back seat and my purse dumped out all over the seat and floor. 500 thoughts at one time hit me.. mostly.. "are you kidding me!!!!" "man am i glad i took the handgun out right before i left the house!!" the officer told me that they dont take prints or anything like that off the car unless there was a gun involved or somebody hurt. sooo.. when he was done directing traffic after the game he came over and filed a police report for me and the nissan murano seven cars over that had their back window busted out and the dodge charger that had their locks popped in the next lot over. they had a brand new baby stroller stollen. who steals from a baby?!?! ... 2008-08-31 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=567686 things are slow again... wishin' for fishin'! so bored.. four day weekend coming up, and karly bob is workin'. pretty standard. friday afternoon fishin'. saturday night astros game!! sunday church. monday all day fishin'! yay! nice, fairly slow weekend ahead of me. ttfn katherine 2008-08-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=548397 new news.. no more house. we backed out of the deal on the house. we had it inspected.. always a smart idea!!.. and the inspector noticed a water line on the wall coming through the paint, and water seeping in through the brick... sooooo.. since there was nothing in the disclosure statement, and no telling how much damage there would be under the sheetrock we backed out. that being said.. we're in the market for a house again!!! i really like house shopping, but i hate having to search them out. i want to tell somebody what i want, they find it, i look at it and if i like it put an offer on it!! i guess i dont really like shopping so much as just buying.. shopping involves soooo many things to do and take care of. it would be awesome to find a 2000 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, fairly new, open, split floorplan on the water, move in ready for around $130,000! not gonna happen.. but it would be nice! haha.. at 130 it'd be a steal!!! soooo.. tired of writing.. gonna get off of here. tt... 2008-07-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=543792 Create your own family sticker graphic at pYzam.com these are our going tubing down the guadalupe river outfits... except i wore shorts and a t-shirt, and karl had a shirt with his shorts.. and he had on a UT hat... oh.. and the cat and dog didn't go.. and ummm.. duncan would have been in my lap cause he's my sweet wittle boy!! and yes!! i did wear a cowboy hat down the river! i got a new one that matched my outfit! haha 2008-06-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=538062 soo.. there is news.. but it's not officially official yet. if that makes any sense. karl and i have put an offer on a house, it was accepted, now we're just waiting to close. the lady that's selling the house just lost her husband a week and a half ago, and we're giving her time to take care of everything before we close. since jack died this year we understand completely about everything that has to be done following a death with all the paperwork and such. sooo... we're probably going to close in august instead of july. which is fine with us since we're in no hurry to move furniture while it's hot outside or paint or put in new floors.. it's all good!! soo.. now you all know, and are up to speed on the happenings in the parker house... i think. we've been so busy, and i can't seem to remember everything that's happened. oooohh.. we are taking a vacation starting friday the 13th until sunday the 22nd!! not that we'll be gone the whole time.. only the 19th (OUR ANNIVERSARY!... 2008-06-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/spasticreaction?l=5&entryID=536379 so much to add.. but i'm tired. i'll fill you in later when things get to a more finalized stage. for those who know.. you're lucky people to be so in my business. haha.. ttfn katherine p.s. what is the deal with cats??!! charlie (our cat) always jumps on the bed being all sweet to me and loving on me letting me pet him while he purrs at full volume... then sneezes!!!
