And still more ramblings

-

 Got an email from Zillow identifying a few rentals we should check out.  Sorry, but we’re no longer in the market.  But I love how the house we are currently living in was one of the options. And the house we loved but the landlord wanted “something better”?  That listing has been updated, so I guess he still hasn’t found “something better”. 

Meanwhile we got the keys  to the new house today, found a few things that need to be fixed, and started planning where everything will go.  We’d only seen the house  in person once before we got the keys, and while the photos and video the broker took before the last tenant moved in were helpful, there’s nothing like actually being at the house….its a great house, but there are a few problems.  

And we’ve started to move things from the current house to the new house.  We hired a moving company to do the heavy lifting, but things like tv’s, computers, etc. aren’t going on the truck.  

We’ve got this.

    Sounds like a great start - soon enough you will know the quality of your landlord. Meanwhile it's even more apparent that you dodged a bullet with "Mr. They Aren't Good Enough". My experience in renting houses is limited to one house - other rentals have been either in apartment complexes or a floor in a two family house) and I would always think there's a problem or two. But I hope everything works out well and you also have some great flowers to look forward to.

    I hope any issues are minor ones. It's nice you have some time to make your move.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
