A MUGWAMP

I suppose you all know what a mugwamp is, but for those of you who don't I will explain. You see there is this fence and you are sitting on it procrastinating. Your head is one one side and your wamp is on the other. Hence, you don't know which way to go. You can't make a decision. Well, this is my predicament.

I told my husband, when we got married, that one reason I married him was because he promised he would make all the decisions. Well, things don't always work out the way you want them to.

We have owned a nice piece of land since the 70's, and have been trying to subdivide it for five years. Yes, five years. This past February we finally got our subdivision which consists of 4 acreages. Each acreage is about 1.5 acres. They are positioned high up on top of the coulees overlooking the South Saskatchewan River. Fantastic view. One of the acreages is for us, the others we will sell. Now that we have come this far we have become mugwamps because we don't know whether to build on our lot or sell it. What do you think? I am sure I will be talking and discussing this land problem with you many times in the future.

We have also been looking for a name to call the subdivision but no one can agree on a name so it is simply called the land or the acreages. Any suggestions for a name? Something catchy and unique.

My daughter from Lethbridge has been staying with us for the week-end. I love when she comes because we can go shopping, drink lots of coffee and talk. Lots of talking is so refreshing. Do you ever feel starved for conversation. Do you feel that there is never enough time in the day to say all you want to say to someone who is actually listening. Maybe it is a man thing.

A good thing that happened today. I was sitting in the back yard with my granddaughter. She was in her swimming pool splashing around and I was sitting in a chair drinking coffee, enjoying the warm weather, talking to her mother and putting my feet in the water.
