Celebrate the Small Things - Bloghop Friday!















Today I am celebrating the final step to owning my home - the one I inherited from my parents. What a challenge to make all the technical stuff line up with their wishes for me. The closing is next!! No, not necessarily a small thing, but it is the one thing I am so happy about because it is coming to the end. Thanks Mom & Dad!!!




















This post is part of VikLit's blog hop, Celebrate the Small Things. To be part of this blog hop, all you have to do is follow the link and put your name on the Mr.Linky list, and then be sure to post every Friday about something you're grateful  for that week.  It can be about writing or family or school or general life.  This is the funnest and easiest blog hop ever!

  5. Marilyn - thank you! I must admit I enjoy reading your blog - though I'm incompetent to navigate it properly - may take a bit but I'll keep plugging away! "You think you know vampires" quiz was fun - I think I failed!!

  10. Owning your own house is definitely worth celebrating. And once all the stress of actually getting to own it is over, you can celebrate even more!

  11. Congrats! When is the official housewarming party?

  12. You can have that jet you're sending for Dezzy just swing around and pick me up on the way back. I can't bake or cater worth a shit, though. But I could provide party entertainment by getting drunk and wearing a lampshade on my head or something. I'm flexible!

  23. Aha Dixie,

    You can stop twiddling your thumbs! Yep and yay, finally, yes finally, I have arrived. Where's the parade in my honour (honor)? :)

    Seriously, I'm thrilled you have reached that final step in owning your own home. Good to know your parents were so generous and thoughtful. I'm proud of you, my dear friend.

    Before I go....Arggghhhh!!! Not another blog hop! Please, please, please make them STOP! Phew, that feels better...LOL

    Hugs and hope, your way,

    Gary :)

  24. Gary - you knew I was twiddling, again? How is it you always know? Come over and we'll do the parade the same day as the housewarming party. Dezmond is making cakes!! Debra will be entertaining us with lampshades. What more could you want?
    Thank you, sir, so nice of you to be proud of me.
    This bloghop is fun... you could bring some real treasures to the fore! Of course you're already busy with the 8000 followers... I understand.
    Thank you visiting me; hope no one gets upset that I got you before they did. (Wait - nevermind.) See you soon Gary!! xxx

  27. Hey Dixie!

    Yep, I could sense y'all was a twiddlin' :)

    Now that you have thought about having a party, I wonder what sort of clothes would be appropriate. What!? Clothes to be left by the front door :)

    I think we should have a blog hop that celebrates ME, shy and humble me. Hang on, that already happened....

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend and yes, well done, you.

    Gary x :)
