We have recently found exactly what we've been looking for in a house. So in the midst of the Wall Street meltdown and all the other bad news, we decided to go for it. We've put our house on the market and are doing all the 'Honey- Do's' that were conveinent to put off until later. So life has been a whirlwind of contractors, realtors, trips to the hardware store and work, work, work. I have two wine kits still in boxes just waiting. But in the end it will be worth all the craziness and stress. If it doesn't work out, our current home will be the way we have been envisioning it for a long time ( sans the large yard and extra 3 car garage for the hubby). So I will keep plugging away on the projects and hopefully get back to fermenting soon.
