After our Saturday of chores, we took some time for fun on Sunday. We went to a matinee of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was great! Terrific special effects and sets, and lots of action with, of course, good winning out over evil.
After the movie, we drove through two areas in Avondale to look at houses. These areas have big lots--one of the areas has all new homes, and the other area has old homes with lots of mature landscaping and feels very secluded. There are lots for sale in the first area, and 2 homes for sale in the 2nd. We don't know if we're moving, but it's just something we're thinking about as we prepare for kids!
I made clam chowder for dinner, which we enjoyed with a delicious loaf of sourdough bread. And I baked a carrot cake, with cream cheese frosting. Chris was alarmed that it had actual carrots in it! He was happy though, when he was eating it.
Oh, and there's never a dull moment with our apartments. I got a call Friday night from Larry (one of the Sunnyslope residents), and he told me the people in number 2 were moving out. I called Brutus to see if he could get the details. Don was moving, with his dogs (a good thing), but we needed to know if Darryl was still there. Brutus got back to me with the word on the street--Darryl and Thomas, aka Rodney, who were the first two roommates to move in in June, had apparently committed armed robbery against a local Radio Shack. Needless to say, this was a violation of Darryl's parole, and he's back in the slammer. So, we now have a vacancy again. I'll try to do better next time in getting tenants!
Enjoy your week, everyone! j&c
