It is starting to heat up this summer and I promised to set up Tyler's water T-ball thingy. He taps a switch which releases the ball into the water spray then Tyler proceeds to hit the ball or not. Either way he gets wet and as you can see that part of the lawn needs water.
I read an article in the Los Angeles Times how people are still lured to California despite our awful traffic and outrageous home prices. We do have very nice weather and the food choices can't be beat. On the flip side, there are many people that leave Califonia for various reason. One such couple I know are native Califonians and they are packing up for Huntsville, Alabama. They have made good real estate investments which they sold about 4-5 years ago so they were looking for a home that will be their forever home. Back then, everyone was saying how the housing bubble will burst soon so they waited & watched real estate prices go even higher. Their money didn't go as far as they had hoped.
The husband went to Alabama to look into real estate investments and really liked the area. Then the wife went too and they decided that is where they want to live. They put their house up for sale and bought a new house which should be completed in August. Their house sold for $545,000 (1600 sq ft 3bedrooms 1 bath) in a questionable neighborhood while their new house is $340,000 (4300 sq ft 4 bedrooms, 3 baths) in a gated community. It is a huge move for them and I sincerely hope they will love it there since it would be very difficult to move back to California. I personally don't know what Alabama is like but maybe that is want they want for their family. I wish them the best.
That t-ball thing looks fun. And on the move stuff. Yup. I definitely couldnt' afford to live in Calif...
