I have to approve any comment, but they only came through this a.m.<br /><br />Scuttlebutt seems like the perfect word to me, it&#39;s more than gossip because it has more truth in it.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.F.

Hope it works this time. Sometimes it doesn&#39;t seem to work, and then the comment will show up two or three times.<br /><br />I enjoyed this story and had a little chuckle when you described the house. Brought back memories of my first house. And when you used the word &quot;scuttlebut,&quot; that also took me back...my first husband was ex-Navy.Creations by Laurel-Rain Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-35010304758625968212009-07-10T08:53:51.064-07:002009-07-10T08:53:51.064-07:00I had a little chuckle as I read your descriptions of your first house, with only a few differences between the houses. Reminded me of my first house! And the term &quot;scuttlebut&quot; brought back memories as well. My first husband was ex-Navy and used words like that regularly.Creations by Laurel-Rain Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-42752652281228953862009-07-10T08:51:44.013-07:002009-07-10T08:51:44.013-07:00Marilyn, I had a little chuckle when you wrote about your first house—how all the houses were the same except for where the garage was, etc. Reminded me of my first house! Also, when you used the word &quot;scuttlebut.&quot; My first husband was in the navy (before we married) and his language was peppered with words like that!Creations by Laurel-Rain Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-83443598189230839052009-07-08T21:00:10.852-07:002009-07-08T21:00:10.852-07:00Sometimes when you look back, you realize how great you had it, even when you didn&#39;t realize it at the time.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://www.morganmandel.com<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-86103000852999246472009-07-08T20:01:36.531-07:002009-07-08T20:01:36.531-07:00Marilyn,<br /><br />I was enjoying your post and it just cut off ... where&#39;s the rest?<br /><br />Lillie Ammann<br /><a href="http://lillieammann.com/blog" rel="nofollow">A Writers&#39; Words, An Editor&#39;s Eye</a>Lillie Ammannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01851121176224654240noreply@blogger.com
