OK Els, it's TTGTGTGTG!

(time to get that get-to-gether to-gether or else it's got something to do with genetic sequencing

Finally took the time to dump some pics taken of the inside of the house the first day we started moving stuff in.

It looked a lot more roomy, then.

That's a really nice looking place. I like the front yard a lot with that nice shady tree and the long porch outfitted with chairs. I can picture hanging out on that porch in the shade.

Also, I'm very envious of that barn with the apartment.

You've got a nice place there. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Indeed. I'll have to shoot a pic of the porch now that we've inhabited it. Got some planters with herbs, a small fountain and a fish tank (!) on it. Great for your of-an-evening sittin' needs.

Raytown is fast nearing the top of my list of places to visit in the States, nay the World ....

It is a truly egalitarian, seriously blue-collar place. The West side approaches sluminess in places, the East side has old farmhouses on one side of the street and near-mansions on private lakes on the other. 'Tain't boring, that's for sure. 350 Highway (formerly US 50 Hwy) runs right behind my place about 1/8 mile or so, and there's pretty much every sort of business, from retail to car lot to industrial, sited all along it.

In truth, I *prefer* an area like this. I like the multiculturality of it. I like the matured trees and established lots. I like the mixed age demographic, the ease of access to the places to buy stuff, and the fact that, despite all of the nearby hubub, my own street and chunk of neighborhood is amazingly quiet.

Els, you don't know how happy I am that you've got your piece of paradise and are setting up home in it. Stick insects ("walking sticks") and all ... It just makes me smile ... I suppose it's good to know that some people do get lucky, are happy, that it works out some of the time ...
