Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[SteveBrickNJ]

Thurs. Jan. 2nd means that I and the other 2 teachers on this thread....we're going back to school

I saw two people post sad emojis. FYI: I am NOT sad. Over the break I had a cruise....then I had 3 days beyond that to rest up. I feel blessed.
I am posting from my band room and I'm feeling very happy to see me students again.
Have a great day!
Steve

I see that Daisy is supervising the landscaping work . . .

That’s a pic from earlier this fall. You’ll be pleased to know that it started snowing last night and snowed pretty much all night. It’s a marshmallow world out there right now.

She doesn’t supervise, so much as “hold court”.

After:

While it was plus 14°C last week and the ground was temporarily thawed, we installed the post for the For Sale sign.

I wasn't sad to see my students. Just sad to leave my cozy home, snuggling dogs, and my books on my Kindle. Oh and I had to put on real clothes not relaxing clothes.

Apparently home (Lindsay) got hit with 19+ cm of snow overnight and into this morning, with another 9.6 cm tonight. That’s just under a foot.

I think we’ll wait a bit before heading back up, although we HAVE to go tonight because we both work in the morning.

There is still so much to do here anyway.

Mike’s parking spot when we got back up here. UNACCEPTABLE! We pay for parking!



I texted the Building Super to let him know that we parked in a quasi non parking spot until they get it cleared out.

That reminds me of parking in The Bronx in The Winter.

It was ruthless. You'd only leave your shoveled-out spot if it was a matter of life or death, because as soon as you pulled away, someone would take it and squat there until the weekend. That's assuming of course that the snowplow hadn't buried your car.

Where we used to live in The Bronx, there was only street parking. We've never had reserved parking. Even here in the suburbs. Anyone can park in front of our house (if they want to deal.with my hubby cursing them.from behind the curtains ) but at least we have a two-car driveway (and garage)

Thanks for sharing some great 92nd birthday, and New Year's, celebration photos. As usual, I'm salivating over the immense food spread you all put out!

A few other highlights (and there were more than a few) -- seeing how nice your parents' new home looks. (They've come a long way, since the fire a few years ago.) Also, I really liked the photo of your son sitting next to your dad -- togetherness!)

Ugh . . . parking wars. I've lived in multiple locations, and the few times I lived in any of the big cities, I never had a car because of the parking situation, which was brutal. I lived off public transit and taxis. And I walked, a lot . . .

Looking at the photo you shared, it almost looks like a few others might have shoveled out their own spot. (Not sure how quickly your building mgmt. sends in the plow during/after a storm.) But that's their problem -- you're paying for snow removal in your parking space. Sorry that you both came home to this.

When DH and I first got married, we lived just inside city limits in an apartment complex with 4 apartments in it. There was a small parking lot off to the side where each apartment had one parking space, and then there was street parking in front. Across the street from the apartments, there were a couple of run down houses....it wasn't the nicest neighborhood, but it was Wyoming, so there wasn't really a dangerous neighborhood. Anyway, the neighbors across the street got really mad at people who parked on the street, even though it was a public street where you didn't need a permit to park. They were always leaving nasty notes and telling us they were going to have us towed, which they couldn't do because we were allowed to park there. They kept calling the city and the city kept telling them they didn't own the street. We had 2 cars, and could only park one in the lot, so we HAD to park on the street, and we never parked on their side. They were just weird people.

I hope you left a to do list for the boys
