Such a lucky woman, equipped with a nutkrafty hubbie and all!

Jackie to Ken... "Do you have any idea where we packed XYZ...?"
Ken to Jackie... "Nope..."

Yes, we have a comprehensive (sic) packing list, but when you have circa 300 boxes of stuff... :vader:

Beautiful pics Kenny, the house and location looks amazing! You know, I will visit some good friends on Manchester area next year, who knows maybe I will go a bit norther too if I have some time...

There'll be room for a welcome diversion, Kostas... ;)

Bill... some of those boxes I helped move up to Livingston (betwixt Edinburgh and Glasgow) in the 80's, then dad moved them to the Hebrides (to the west of me at my present location) after we lost mum in the 90's, then I took them south after we lost him in '01... now they're back in Scotland... they will be unpacked, even if in rotation... :o

Why would you do that?  Let you daughter move them around for a few decades when you're gone! ;)

And I'm still jealous :sad:

I'm Super late to this party, but...Congrats on the new place, and thank you for posting the pictures! I'd like to see more of the area, too. The one place I've been outside of the USA was Scotland, and it was such an amazing trip I vowed I'd be back ASAP. Well, life intervened and it's been nearly 20 years now...
So yeah, show us more of your neighborhood!

What?!!!, an albino squirrel? Never seen one of those before. Creepy.

You live close to a nuclear plant or some military installation?

Albino squirrels aren't that rare around here. There was one in my old neighborhood (about two miles from here) that was around for several years. No nuclear plants in that neighborhood, although there was a Pizza Hut. Its dumpster was probably almost as toxic.

Never seen or heard of them here in Germany. Maybe the European (red) squirrel doesn't turn albino as easy. Freak of nature.

Eastern grey squirrels are sometimes white but I guess that makes them Eastern White squirrels.
I like the black one's around Michigan too.

Grey squirrels, unfortunately, have a virus they are immune to, but is fatal to reds... sad but true...

Been away for a few days off shore... not up to spec yet... knackered, in a word...

Maybe it's me, but everywhere I've lived, there's been an albino squirrel... Milwaukee, near Madison, MPLS/St Paul, and now where I'm at... There was a park in MPLS that had grey, black and white squirrels. I wanted to start a breeding program to see if we'd end up with zebra striped ones. Or maybe Holstien Cow spotted ones. :mrgreen:
