For the last story of the day I had to choose between good mushrooms and good potato chips. I chose mushrooms. Well, not really a mushroom but it sure looks like a place I'd like to live.

I am closing with a piece of advise Cale Yarborough; "Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it."

After 7 years, I'm not sure that the dog shouldn't stay with the second owners. Whatever, it's a very sad situation, but redeemed by the fact that she was well taken care of all that time.
I hope Stove Man does well. It's certainly a worthy ambition.
Love, love, love the mushroom house! If I had an extra $1.1 million, I'd sure buy it!
Good advice about the pig. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I agree with Pat on the dog. Poignant story. I'm sure the original owner was delighted to find his dog, but after seven years with a family, I think Mimi/Gizmo might be better served to stay with the people she knows and loves.
The cook stove project sounds interesting and I hope it works well. It would certainly make life easier for the women of Kenya and, I suspect, many third world countries.
I could live happily in the mushroom house (g), just because of its setting. Trees, flowers, a stream and a waterfall - does it get any better than that?
Liked Yarbourough's comment. Too true.
Hi Pat
I am going to take a different approach than my two favorite women on the dog story. You hear over and over again, the dog is part of the family. And I know from experience when I lost Katie it was just as difficult as losing some relatives. So if a ten year-old disappeared and had amnesia. He or she wasn't part of a kidnapping but just found. A family raises him well. When he comes out of the amnesia later, should he stay with the new family?
I also hope the Stove man meets his goal.
If I win the lottery the mushroom house is mine and I will leave it to you in my will.
I liked the pig guote too.

Hi DR
See my not to Pat re the Dog story.
I hope the cook stove project makes life easier for the Kenya women and is a great success!
Beautiful setting for the house. It said in the article it is the most visited house in New York.
Yarbourough's advise was right on.

I think I'm going to have to agree to disagree on the dog story, for a couple reasons. One of them is a book I'm currently reading, where a 3 mo old child is kidnapped and adopted on the black market and discovers all this when she's 29 yrs old. Her only memories, connections and emotions are connected to the couple who raised her. Her birth mother wants her to come "back to her real family," forget or at least backburner the couple who raised her. I'm not sure where it's going to go, but the torment the woman is going through is very real. Knowing how attached dogs and owners become, I can't help but wonder if Mimi/Gizmo isn't totally confused and missing the only family she's known for seven years.
Hi DR
We are going to have to agree to disagree. However, twenty-nine years is quite a bit different than seven years for human and I would agree with you. At 29 years old I would agree with you. On the dog stories the original owners did the right thing with the micro chip and why it wasn't checked for seven years makes me come down on the side of the original owners.
