Here We Go Again

The latest news on the Murphy front:
Colleen - the closing date on her house here is still set for Aug 17th. She has been flying between the Northeast and Texas every other week. She is due back here either today or Friday to spend her last full week here in Texas. The reason that she is unsure of her flight here is weather. If it rains in the Northeast her golfing plans are postponed, so she flies in today. She still hasn't decided on a house in New Jersey but has narrowed it down to about six towns. According to her real estate broker in NJ, things are moving fast and she shouldn't delay, according to her father "time is on your side and don't compromise on the house". Besides the obvious sticker shock, the houses there are entirely different from what she is used to. "What's a Cape, Split, or High Ranch"? The floor plans are very different, our homes here are open and flowing while up there it's more choppy. So temporary living for a few months.
Erin - We hope to see the Frisco gang sometime next week, they all want to say goodbye to Colleen. Below are the latest pictures of Caden. Erin mentioned that her supermarket has carts that the front part is a car, truck or plane. Now I am sure you probably have seen these however on the dashboard of the little car is a screen and on the "Mommy Handle" are buttons that let you choose what video your kid will watch. Great gimmick, Mom shops in peace and buys more.
Meaghan - getting ready for a house guest, "The Madge". Better stock up on Pinot. I guess Meaghans camera is still missing as no new pictures of Sean.
Allison - Someone asked if Henry and Allison are still an item. Yes they are. Allison is living in fear as her company is talking about reducing the staff again, making pay cuts, and moving to New York City. I wish she would find another job.
Nothing new here except as I mentioned "The Madge" is leaving here on the 13th and will be in Connecticut until the 23rd. Great planning, Colleen leaves Houston on the 16th, and Madge will be in CT. Oh well, I guess she will see her at Christmas.
A friend of mine Tony Pisacano was kind enough to share some Amazingly Simple Home Remedies

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU SLICE.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY SIMPLY
USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE ~ WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
