Great idea Cab...why didn't I think of, that!! And I like rowing, it faces a window too. So how long should I go just starting out?? I can add some time on that tomorrow, maybe begin with that for say 15min, then do 30min. on the eliptical??!!

I think I forgot to mention that we also have a Chin-up station, with sit-up, push-up, and leg lift capabilities...OH and 4 HDTVs w/Transmitters, Cable TV and XM Radio. I'm sure I'm missing something!!

Yeah RJ, you're missing the hunks handing you bottles of water and fresh towels, and the free massages!
Good luck- sounds like you're on a roll

Thanks for the good wishes Sarah- glad you made it off the, uh, side of your house in one piece!

I'm now in Bristol VA (can anyone say NASCAR?)- spending the nite here as it's been raining bad and I'm exhausted from trying to negotiate the F350 at high rates of speed on Mountain roads in the rain... <sigh> only 5 or so more hours of driving tomorrow- and I'm coming home with two piggies (they're mine, they've been in the sanctuary for a spay job)
Gotta run- Ciao-
V
TN you are going to have to explain what the piggie was doing at the sanctuary getting a spay job, does that mean what I think it
means??!!

Stay safe on the roads girl, a big pickem' up like that can get you into trouble. I had inherited a 1996 Chevy 1500 Extended Cab Stepside from my Mom back in 2000, I flew to CO to pick it up, drove it back to WA...alone, but what a journey it was!! We both L@VED that
pick up, I got it w/105,000miles on it, I drove it 'til it had 175,000 miles on it and sold it because the repair bills were getting to be a bit much. My Mom did not keep up with the regular maintenance that a vehicle needs to stay on the road, so at first I had a lot of needed repairs, once those repairs needed repaired again, I figured it just wasn't worth putting any more $$ in.

Are you going home for Christmas at all? We're planning a very short Christmas home (like 5-7 days instead of 10-14) because we'll probably stop there on our way through to Kansas. My how time flies.....

UhOh I'm sad I'm so far away. I would have L@VED to have been able to come out and help, NOT get on the Scaffolding, of course!! You've done a FANTABULOUS job on the exterior, restoring that banister was the right thing to do!!

Hey Hal!! I am originally from the South west-ish part of the state. I was raised on a farm right outside of Centerville (near Dayton) then first marriage lived in Washington CH. and will go to visit my mommy in Springboro.
The one thing that I really miss are those amazing sunsets....sigh

I used to go toDelaware with my dad, he used to qualify his young horses at the track there.

Rj-- I would start with 15 minutes,, I think rowing is a pretty "demanding" exercise, 15 would be a good start!! YOU have an awesome set up,,, I swear if you get the hunks handing out towels and massages I am SO THERE!!

We really need to plan another meet up before you move away,,,, would you meet me half way?? Does Annapolis or Baltimore count and halfway??
I doubt that I will go home for Christmas,, hubbys mother is all alone and he is an only child,,,soooooo makes it hard to leave her for two holidays in a row. Plus I am already trying to plan for the next CO. visit!
Sarah, your home looks awesome,, bannisters were a huge find!! Maybe I will drive all the way to your home just so I can see it.

V - you be careful, babe! Hope you get some good rest.

LMAO-- why am I not surprised?? Have I told you lately that you are my hero?? grin....

And Tnny!! Are you home yet? I hope you gave those little piggy's a soft pillow to sit on!!

Wholly cow were my thighs sore, I could barely get on the eliptical let alone try to push myself to get a decent workout!! Oh well, I will continue to try and get some time on the Rowing Machine, maybe I could actually learn to like it...NOT!!

Sweetie, I really wondered if you could do 15 minutes right out of the chute but hated to sound doubtful.. 5 minutes is a great start!! Go get em!

Hi Kiddos- I'm home... exhausted but home. Got home around 2:30 pm central time. David was home & helped me unpack Big Freddy... then he wanted to take Freddy for a ride. (giggle) Now he wants to drive Freddy everywhere- cause he's so BIG!!! David feels all masculine and macho. Hmmm....
Didn't end up bringing in piggies- seems we've had rain for weeks in the Mid South & the sanctuary director didn't want to be responsible for me having problems with standing water on the road while hauling a horse trailer with piggies in it. So we'll get my two gals here some other time. Which gives me time to figure out sleeping arrangements since the other 10 pigs seemed to have made their own arrangements. Silly pigs.
Off to bed- I'm whupped!
Love the house Sarah. Looks GREAT.
Nite!
