Warm fuzzies for Jerry

OK, maybe Jerry isn't cold through and through. We got the house after all, and a new roof to boot!

We spent a few days in Tahoe, fishing and waiting to hear from our agent. Nothing beats fishing while also checking the cell phone for messages every few minutes, let me tell you. And everything came together nicely: we caught NINE good-size trout, then got the call we've been waiting for, then we had a nice trout dinner to celebrate.

Now the work begins: furniture, gardening, painting. I think nothing beats buying a new house, not even fishing, and you only get to do it a few times in life, so I plan to take advantage.
