Give them something from your heart. They have money to spend with wanton disregard. Sounds bit too gaudy for my taste. Can we say Trump, Liberace in Vegas. Yuck. nouveau riche. Sorry but that is what they come across as. But hey, it's a free country, they can spend how they like. No I'm not jealous.

My new place is around 2400sq ft. It's much bigger than we need but the view is to die for. And the size of the property was tad on the smaller side than what I wanted but I can plant about dozen fruit trees and add another dozen or so blueberry bush... I'm loving the place, the house...

Gainfully unemployed is nice too. I wake up in the morning, sip on my chai latte, listen to the traffic report and go, "wow I'm glad I don't have that stress anymore.." then gaze at the panoramic view of Mt. Hood. I love the slower pace of life. Play with my cats, dogs...
