Hey Baby, It's the 4th of July...

Okay, so it's not quite. But we headed to Corsicana (surprise!) to celebrate a bit early today. We did a little house hunting, watched some Rangers baseball on TV, and had a grand time at cousin Tonja's.

We started out visiting a house that's not listed yet, one Kelli's mother found out about. One of her church friends is selling it this summer, so we were allowed a sneak peek.

It's nice, and fits the bill better than any thus far.

It's a pinch bigger than what we currently have. It's been updated nicely, the layout is good, it's on a quiet cul de sac and it backs up to a park. The view out the back patio is like looking out over a golf course. The back yard is a good size as well.

Inside the bedrooms are big, the windows have been updated, built-ins are here and there... oh, and the roof is fairly new. Heck, I didn't even see any indicators of the foundation problems that are all over Corsicana. It's got a mud room with a sink, which I'd certainly like to have.

Price isn't bad either. This could be it, folks. More as we put our heads together.

And someone we know through Tonja is looking to fill a job down there and asked me to send a resume. Mostly she just wanted to know if I have a bachelor's degree. It's out of broadcasting, which I'm ABSOLUTELY READY FOR. It's a window and door manufacturing company, and basically they need an office manager. Maybe I fit the bill, maybe I don't. But Jann certainly wants to talk more about it. I'm game.

Tonja's holiday party was a fine time, with several of the regulars hanging out in/around the pool. THEGIRL had a ball playing in the water with her mother. THEBOY fell down a few times, and that upset and frustrated him, but really he was well-behaved and had fun.

He disappeared inside at some point. I went to look for him, and he was sitting on the pot with the door open. I said hi to him, and he said, "I just been sitting here thinking about robots."

The digital thermometer on the back patio at Tonja's read 106 for a while. Once it got below 100 I was fairly comfortable. By the time we left Corsicana we were actually in the middle of a little squall, with cool lightning all around us.

Ya'll have a good weekend.
