Oh, and Pete's signature on a card makes common cards more valuable, BTW.

Hmmm. I have some cards Pete signed, but I don't want to give them up. (Also, I'm not 100% sure of where they are now that I live with Tim. I can't remember where I packed them for the move.)

Still vacationing, but I took this picture of Grace's new t-shirt for ita and Steph: [link]

Cutiehead! BATcutiehead!

My portable air conditioner is brilliant. It's rough asking it to cool two rooms but it is still working on it.

I am not making this up: we went yesterday to the campground in Indiana where Tim's brother and his family are camping, and one of Tim's nephews took advantage of the electric hookup at the site to put a portable a/c AND a mini-fridge in his tent. I think the rest of the brood had oscillating fans in their tents.

I *still* wouldn't camp, not even with a portable a/c. (I asked Nephew where the satellite dish and flatscreen TV were. "What?!?" he asked. "Why would I do THAT? We're CAMPING." So he has *some* standards.)

I rode a bike for the first time in...I don't even know how long. Years and more years. I have no idea why I don't own a bike! It was totally fun!

I think we are finally going to see Captain America this afternoon. We are SO far behind in our movie-watching. Then I am going to attempt to bake GF cinnamon rolls tonight. (That's right; I live on the edge.)

So, a couple just came and looked at our house. Yikes. But also, please let them decide that they want to buy it.

Good luck, flea!

How was the coffee, Sophia?

How was the coffee, Sophia?

I was able to drink it, but I am not sure I found the taste enjoyable. I usually drink mexican coffee in a stovetop espresso maker, and then cut it with half and half, so this was also super strong!

But also, please let them decide that they want to buy it.

It's a cute house with a big yard in a great neighborhood. They want it!

Tell them Mr. Flea will bake them a pie. That'll seal the deal.

They loved the outside and the neighborhood. They were less enthusiastic about the inside. But they are very well off, so if they want to, they can afford to fix it.

Their daughter is a chef, so they probably have the pie department covered.

I need to reiterate how psyched I am to have the Family Flea in my city!

And Kate P. (is she still P, post-wedding? well, her board name is still P.) and DH are visiting in two weeks. Woo!!!!

Will they be there labor day weekend? Because I think we are planning to all come up and look at stuff (like places to live) that weekend. We could all meet at Graeters'!

I think I'm going to like it here.

Welcome, o sweet creamy one!
