DWS Oxymoron

[AlohaSteven]

alaskasteven,
Is your house done already?

Nah, as far as we can tell from long distance our contractor seems to be doing an excellent job with devoting much attention to detail; the trade-off for all the fine attention to detail is a completion date still being months away. 'Salright. This June our youngest graduated from high school and moved out of the parental unit's house into her brother's old apartment (just across the street from the local university, where she is doing great, all A's and B's in summer courses and Fall courses so far) so the parental units are free to come over to Puna as soon as the Anchorage house sale closes. We'll be staying at a little place we have in HPP while construction is ongoing on the other place (and saving money by doing the tilework ourselves!) Our lad (who just graduated from the Savannah College of Art & Design; we are very proud of him) is coming to Puna as well to assist us for awhile by camping out nights at the construction site while the crew is away. Like a true artist he tends to paint all night and sleep all day so finally that trait will actually come in handy.

Sorry for the temporary thread hijack, Cat!

Back on topic: I must be part raven because bright shiny things fascinate and delight me. In a perfect world I'd have a bazillion sparkly lights on every night of the year, not just at winter solstice.
