On S's birthday we received an offer on our house back in Texas. It wasn't spectacular but even the tiniest profit and getting rid of the mortgage payment we are making on top of our not insignificant Oslo rent would be good.
But the buyers got cold feet when their inspector gave them a frightening and not particularly accurate report. Despite our attempts to put them at ease, they have backed out. So now we re-list and wait some more and scrimp in the mean time.

H just curled up with me and said, "you have to click the 'H'" so now I have.
This one is from her: H
"I like H, it is my favorite. It is your favorite, too."

The dogs are loving the smattering of snow we have had; they bite it and roll in it and leap about. It's still warm by Oslo standards but it's good to finally have things at least looking a bit like Winter. Branches are frosted and puppy paw prints are scattered across yesterday's snow like pepper on an empty plate.
Now I have to go because we are making pretend Macaroni and cheese with bread and ketchup followed by cake with strawberry icing with a cherry on top. The pretend tea is a bit too hot but othewise just perfect on a cold and cozy morning. Tea parties are ever so important!

I have to admit even I am glad we got some snow. Our view just looks naked in winter without it...like a kid missing a security blanket or something.
I just looks...right, now.
Cake with strawberry icing? Yuuummm....I can't wait to meet S&H...

I hope that you'll sell your house soon. It's not fun to continue to pay on something that you don't use. Don't forget that you still have to pay taxes for last year

Yeah, I guess now you'll have to get use to paying more taxes over there. Yikes!
