Cardinals

We watch Cardinals

  OK, no excuses.. just explaining.  Writing stories has been put on the back burner where the contents are simmering. I am throwing several things into the pot, adding some spices and will serve up the finished product soon.

  Meanwhile, back on the range...wait.. it must be lunch time as I seem to be mentioning kitchen terms. Oh, yes.. this post is on both blogs, let's call it re-purposing.

  We watched every game of March Madness. Congrats to Louisville Cardinals! However, the basketball excitement in our world is this: 

Drury University Basketball Team are Division II CHAMPIONS! 

(Mr. Bruce and Jack Ott went to Drury. We think that is why the team won.) The celebrations will be going on in Springfield, MO for a LONG time. 

  Also, yesterday was opening day for the St. Louis Cardinals. The opening celebrations were great fun to watch. We watched on Fox Sports Midwest; we watch as many games as possible throughout the season. It was a double hankie day as they shown clips of Stan the Man and dedicated the season to him. (There were more tears during the 9th inning, but let's move on.)

  Yesterday we watched a mommy Cardinal build a nest in the large bush outside our kitchen window. All of the yards around us are filled with birds, so we have plenty of birds to watch. It is great fun to watch noisy, always hungry baby birds. Looking around the yard, we found several nests left from last year. Hopefully there will be new families this year.

  Bye for now!

Letting Go is GOOD!

Good news!

The house a new family!

  The house is actually a very spacious two level house. It is built similar to many houses here in the Missouri Ozarks; it's a walk-out basement house. Of course, the downstairs is completely finished. The family room is actually two living areas, one near the wet bar and the other a roomy space in front of fireplace.

Plenty of room to entertain or for the teenager's video games & pizza party. (do kids still play ping-pong or pool? There is room for that.) The house is in Sequiota Elementary School and Glendale High School districts. 
  There is a full size utility room, complete with large cabinet for storage and counter top for folding clothes. The main downstairs bedroom has a built-in bookcase. There is a cedar lined walk-in closet off the downstairs bathroom. 
  

Let's go back upstairs. Wait, I forgot to tell you about the closets downstairs. Extra closets under the stairs. One of these is a LARGE walk-in complete with shelves. Actually, there are 4 closets with shelves, not counting the bedroom closets.

   While the living area downstairs have new carpet, living areas upstairs have hardwood floors, real hardwood, not laminate. Remember this house was built is the '70s when wood was the real stuff. This picture shows the floors and windows in living room, dining area.

 This is truly an "explore the possibilities" house. Can't you see your family living here? Need more info? Please email me,  LindaCrim@gmail.com
