On the lighter side of ownership

Last Time Ever

Have you ever gotten to the point

when

because of some quirkie anomaly concerning

your age

you have thought:

This is the last car I will ever buy.

This is the last suit I will ever wear.

This is the last trip I will ever make.

This is my last mortgage...

Yeah, I have

and that’s the last time

I ever do that!

On Home Ownership

My cleaning lady is a former refugee,

next week she is going to the

Dominican Republic for her winter

vacation.

She cleans our house every Thursday

and sells real estate on the side.

She doesn’t do windows.

The guy installing my vinyl siding owns

a condo in Florida, on the Gulf side.

He stays there for the entire month of March

fishing from his Boston Whaler and watching

for sea turtles.

My handyman comes in often to install things,

build things and fix things. He also owns

two properties that he maintains and rents out.

He will be in Whistler this winter.

I think I may just sell my house on Thursday.
