Hey you,,,
hope you're doing okay. Did the girls tell you I was talking to them a while back at denise's house? They said you're taking care of your mom and a little stir crazy.
Jamie mentioned the house next door being for sale but non of us really knew much about it and the sale sign was only there I think a week or so. The guy who was the owner was a young guy named Andy and he'd been awol for ever, we saw a flurry of people coming to work on it and stuff and assumed Andy was in the process of getting ready to sell it but he, as far as we know is up in Geauga somewhere so we couldn't ask him.
All of a sudden there's a sign on the lawn about some sales place selling it that looked like the house had gone into foreclosure and Andy wasn't selling it but whatever bank who had it. Then, I'm pretty sure within a week or so,, no sign. Then shortly after that more fixing up and a guy moved in who is a foster parent. 62yrs old. There are I think 5 kids over there at the moment but I've seen it go up to 7 or so since he moved in. His name's Roger (nice guy, may be available He said it's like $25 per day that they get for each kid,, sheesh that could add up fast. Anyway the girls asked if we ever see the landlord on the other side to know if your old house is ever up for sale... I said no, that guy's hardly ever around. The people there now keep taking in the little strays that are around,, one had babies and they're kind of trying to keep it hush hush because only one of their cats should be there according to the landlord. Anyway one's a Sylvester looking female that is adorable and the others look like tabby mixes if you know anyone who'd like a kitty. I'm hoping something on THIS block comes up for sale if you guys are looking or over by Lori but within close walking distance to me,,, if you guys are looking. I miss everybody and my girls. I still keep their pictures around, usually on the front of my fridge. Denise was always my girl. She always had my heart as really all of them did. Jamie too,, it's impossible not to love her. Anyway I hope you haven't lost your mind being home all day.
Love you,, give my love to everybody..
