we are doing a home equity loan to get a woodstove for our house to avoid the worst of the oil crunch as well as for as back up heat.
.
I was a bit annoyed with my husband as I asked him to mow the lawn prior to the home appraisal........ which is today at 10:30am....
.
needless to say he did not.
I got up at 5am, made the bed with a DARK BROWN quilt, and smoothed it all down evenly.
.

I then went to take a shower, when I came into the bedroom to get dressed I purposely looked at the bed to make sure it was still ok..... no cats have brought toys up or anything.......nothing.
.
perfectly empty and smooth.
.
I put my socks on....turned, and there in the center of the bed....was one nickel.....
.
now I'd been complaining that we were exceptionally 'tapped out' lately.....
.
and I had been worried about the cost of heating this winter.
.
and reluctant about this loan as well.
.
The ghosts sent me ONE nickel
.
I am so sure they are laughing at their wit
.
as I 'don't have two nickles to rub together'
.
no they only sent one.


vi~who would laugh about this if it currently wasn't so true.
