does this mean they are 'adults'?

Both daughters have purchased houses in the past couple of weeks. Scare-y? Yes!

F. found one that had been taken over by a bank, and foreclosed. So it will need some work: not a lot, but homeowners learn that 'there's always something that needs doing'. Fortunately she has been in Decatur long enough to know some folks who are pretty handy, and come with a full compliment of tools. She had friends come over last week for a little painting party, with the promised bribe of pizza and beer when it was finished. As it turned it, the paint ran out about the same time the pizza came in the door. Moved over this past weekend, and trying to figure out where things go as the pile of boxes dimishes.

P. and C. did the paperwork yesterday, and are moving this weekend. Looking forward to a space of their own, as they have been living with various and sundry relatives for nearly two years. And will have enough space to put the dog out in the yard (after doing a little fencing) and tilling up some land for a garden (after doing a little tree trimming to get more sun).

How exciting!
