House Hunting 101

Presenting the cat of the day!



Looking for a home to purchase is pretty much wearing Don and I to a frazzle. This would be our first home purchase and last, if I can help it. You see being in the military you move constantly. New duty station and you might have to move into an apartment first before you can get housing. Then when housing opens up you have to move on post! Move, Move, Move, and Move!!!





Since we have "Retired" and moved back to Alabama, this is it. We are looking for the last home for the rest of our lives. NO MORE MOVING!!! We are planting the roots of the Combs Family!! This house has got to be perfect or near perfect. I do not think there is a house out there that is perfect. We have been looking since January and we have seen so many houses, I dream of them!!!

But we have been narrowing down the choices.

• Has to be in the country, no city livin here.


• Must have 3 bedrroms and 2 baths, minimum! Got to have room for the scrapping and the computering.


• Must have fenced backyard for the Tater and Pitiful.


• No open floor plan! I do not want a guest walking through the front door of our house and Hello there is my kitchen. Nope not gonna work there!


• Must have a carport, garage would be nicer but not a requirement for purchase.


• MUST HAVE CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING! You cannot live in the South with it this important item. Unless you wanna just roast your buns off!!

SO there ya have it. Just our simple needs in 6 lines, well besides all the rest of the stuff ya get in a house.

House hunting will begin again Saturday. Don is off, so off we go in the car to look and walk, and look and walk. Well you get the idea!

And Today's picture of the day is........

I just love the look of this kitties face. Precious!!!

March 19th- Can we just skip this day?

I am not a fan of this date in history. Really, I am not joking! Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Mom passing away. I guess you could say this is one of my dark days. Don't wanna be around people, don't even want to be bothered by them. I really miss her, more and more each day. I still expect that old phone to ring and it will be her on the line seeing what I have been up to today. I guess you really never really appreciate all what your mom has done for you in her lifetime until she is gone. Don't forget she gave birth to you, nutured you, kissed the booboo's away and many other things. I guess that is why I am so upset when people speak bad of their mother's. Yep there was a time when my Mom and I barely spoke to each other for some stupid reason or another. And then there was times I would just run to her for her advice, whether I took it or not. I just miss her and there is nothing that will ever change that feeling. But one day I will see her again and then we can spent eternity together doing all the things I wish I could have made time for, to be with her, just to enjoy her company.

Mommie I love you very much and miss you more and more.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day...... well almost

I think I will start putting kitty pics on my blog and I think this is the perfect one to start with. Most people, mainly women, do feel this why. That is why this baby is named Snarky Kitty. Have a great day!!
