Oregon does not have Kitty Hawk, but North Carolina does not have Crater Lake. North Carolina houses have garages on the side. Oregon houses have garages in front. North Carolina rednecks are loggers. Oregon rednecks are loggers. North Carolina hippies live in Chapel Hill (or so I’ve been told) Oregon hippies live in Oregon. Real Oregonians are Beaver fans. Real North Carolinians are into Nascar or something. I’m not sure. All I know is that we’re not supposed to be Tar Heel fans. Barbecue is a specialty of North Carolina. Marionberry jam is an Oregon specialty. Harris Teeter and Safeway are very similar, but Safeway has better Chinese food, and Harris Teeter has free cookies. Alberstons and Fred Meyer are Oregon stores. Food Lion and Lowes are North Carolina stores. Ginger Rogers and Beverly Cleary are from Oregon, and so is Herbert Hoover. Dolley Madison and Andy Griffith and Michael Jordan are North Carolinians. Krispy Kreme was founded in Winston-Salem, but Nike’s headquarters are in Beaverton. Oregon state motto: She flies with her own wings. North Carolina’s motto: “To be rather than to seem”

Wouldn’t that be nice! You need to come on down and we will head over to the coast and to the Wright Museum and all that stuff.
Just make sure it has servants quarters… then I can be your lawn mower man.

Hey, Make a note I got Dib’s on the POOL HOUSE!! 🙂
It is hot enough down here that maybe it makes sense to just get a pool house and forget the regular one!
Hi
You know that makes sense! Next summer will be easier you will be able to get used to it gradually. I always found I could deal w/ the heat during the day as long as I could sleep cool at night! I think there are 2 great things to have out there, A screened Porch, and a pool! Trisha
That is very good advice Trisha. I am certainly going to shoot for the screen porch. The pool sounds like work! Maybe that is something for the kids to do.

You mean that we might have moved into a house WITHOUT a pool?
