I am leaving in the morning for another short trip. I will be gone until Monday. I am going to Nags Head NC just to try to relax and get away from everything.
Here are a few links that I think you will enjoy. READ THE DAMN THINGS. It took me away from my precious television watching time to look them up.
LAKE CITY, Ga. – More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” team demolish a family’s decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005.
Three years later, the reality TV show’s most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis.
After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it’s set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5. The couple did not return phone calls Monday, but told WSB-TV they received the loan for a construction business that failed.

Preacher’s Last Sermon?
….As Anthony Hopkins was leading a revival in a small church on the outskirts of Jackson, Ala., Monday night, July 28, the body of a woman, presumed to be his wife, was sitting in a freezer behind his house in Mobile where it was about to be discovered by police. Acting on a tip given by Hopkins’ daughter, the eldest of eight children, police said they knew where to look and what they were likely to find when they searched the Rylands Street house. Clarke County Sheriff’s deputies found him at the church a short time later, he was still preaching, ministering to people in the crowd.

TPB…I used to LOVE extreme makeover home edition.
I’d sit on my couch and cry, and try to come up with some hard luck story of my own with the hopes that Ty and the gang would mosey into my Vinyl Village, tear down my plastic palace, and replace it with something huge and fantastic. Before news broke that this house was being foreclosed on…I read a little something from one of my real estate sources that said it was for sale–at almost a million bucks! Wonder why it didnt sell? Not much call for a million dollar house smack in the middle of a hundred thousand dollar neighborhood.
Anyhow, I found that there are a handful of Extreme Homes on the market–I personally think that ABC should have some clause, if they dont already, that profits above what the house was worth BEFORE should go back into providing housing for the needy.
NAGS HEAD? I. Am. So. Jealous.
We vacation in Rodanthe every summer. Except for this one
We’ll be back next year.
Have a drink for me!
BHE…I contemplated inviting you since you are still MBFF. But, I was afraid that all that Aqua Net would get sand in it and we’d have to cut all of your hair off. Or, it might melt under the 100 degree sun. Or, it might attract seagulls who might make nest in it during the ferry ride. Next time, I’m gonna buy you a tight swimmers cap and you can go and be safe.
Can’t wait to come back post about this man that I met on the ferry. He was cool/weird.
And, I’m gonna to do a hotel review for you complete with pictures that I took. I am calling it The Tackiest Motel Deco Ever.
I’ll try to post those tomorrow. I just got back and am sooooooo tired (thanks to Mr. Excitement’s insintence on beating his last driving record to Nags Head)My butt actually aches.
