Have a Picture of a Flying Saucer While I'm Away
For the first time in the life of this blog, I need to take a prolonged break from blogging. Greg's relocation has become more complicated than we anticipated. I've had to turn down design jobs and favors to friends.
Worse yet, the dogs have had to wait more than twenty minutes for a cookie. They've threatened to call the SPCA for my tardiness with said cookies.
Tank insists it's a sign of the apocalypse, but I've assured him that it's simply a case of too much on my plate.
Summer is such a slow time for blog traffic anyway, so why not take advantage of it.
I'll be back July 7th. That'll put me past the holidays and just before Greg's retirement. (Unless we don't sell the house, then he has to stay past his expiration date.) I'm glad his company is keen on keeping him. They've told him he can stay on for as long as he likes.
Until then, I'll visit your blogs when time permits.
In the meantime, here's a new picture of the flying saucer a few miles down the road from me. I was excited when they started painting it. First it was gray, and I thought great, they'll end up painting it silver, give it that UFO look. But no, they went with pumpkin orange! What was the owner thinking?
Both this blog and Back to Basics will be on hold untilJuly 7. I'll try to post on Facebook more often so you won't completely forget me. See you in the cyber halls!
Okay, maybe one more week. I've got some last minute busy-ness to tackle. Can't wait to get back though. I'm looking forward to normal.

Fingers crossed that the house sells so Greg can retire when he planned on retiring.
And yeah, the orange definitely makes that looks like a pumpkin, but maybe that's the look the owner was going for. :shrug:
Hope you have a good blogging break! Give the dogs some cookies from me.
So time away is understandable.
I hope things go well with selling the other casa and then things can get to some semblance of a new norm for you :-)
Those saucer homes are few and far between.
Besides, I am accumulating loads of wild experiences to talk about later on.
Take care, and I hope you get to steal a little time for yourself to sit and enjoy summer.
I agree the orange is a bit odd. I would have gone with ice blue.
re: spaceship
It looks like it still need work. Maybe it's an undercoat. (crossing fingers)
Do the people live in that structure? It certainly stands out in the landscape.
Enjoy your break!
My question is not about the color but the flying saucer itself. Why does one decide to park a flying saucer in their paddock?
It's also one of the most frequented posts on my blog. http://mariazannini.blogspot.com/2010/07/flying-saucer-house.html
Hope real life doesn't bring too many hassles, and look forward to seeing you again come July. :)
See you when you're back.
They just put a sign out front that says Private Property. We can look from a distance but no touching.
Darn. I wanted to go back in there.
Great picture! I bet that'll look especially neat in October with dying grass and golden, red and orange leaves on the trees and all over the grass. I wonder what that would look like with that eerie, darkening, spooky autumn sky...with a skeleton hanging off of it...
