Well Color Me Tickled
For four years we've lived in this house, taking it from neglected and dated, to energy star approved and aesthetically enhanced. We ran the cable for the wiring, stuffed insulation in walls, hung drywall and valiantly tried to tape and mud ourselves. We repainted and reroofed, resided and replaned. We have landscaped and laid stone for a patio. We've installed babygates and all other manner of baby protective-type gear throughout the house. It has been our sole mission to provide a safe and wonderful environment for ourselves and our girls.
The only thing that has been damnably out of our control has been the driving around our neighborhood. Day after day the same jack asses run the stop sign, staring back at our condemning gazes defiantly, often hitting the gas and smiling as they speed through our toddler populated neighborhood. The same jerks drive drunk and use our street as a cut-through.
No one ever gets pulled over. Ever.
Until today.
And all I can say is, It's about fucking time GFPD!

Hooray for justice!

My kids would delight in colouring on your porch. Just so we're clear, you aren't too attached to those crisp, white spindles, right?
Good. It's a date.

That is so awesome. I'm always saying, "There's never a cop on the road when you need one." Well, I guess I was wrong!
And hella cute abode, by the way. Where's my guest room, ahem?

Kelly, your room, complete with its own tv and entrance, is aroudn the back of the house, blissfully shrouded in greenery so as to allow lazy sleep-ins. And Janet, we're the kind of family that would turn a blind eye to a little bit of coloring on the spindles. What you can't see is that despite having rebuilt the porches less than three years ago 3/4 of the spindles on one porch need to be replaced. Sigh, the work never ends.

Your house is beautiful!
w00t that they are slowing people down. Residential streets need to be protected!

Your house is Better Homes and Gardens worthy! Beautiful!!
Maybe the word will get out amongst his peeps that cutting through and driving like a jackass will net you a ticket.
I'm totally salivating over your house.
I've got your back on the boob issue too. I whipped 'em out whenever my baby needed his life sustained, ya know?

your house is gorgeous!

I love that house!
One New Year's Day after having family over for a big, long brunch, my husband and I took a nap. When we woke up about 6 pm, there were a cop and a strange car in our driveway. We were like, "What the...?" We live on an off-off street, so for someone to get pulled over here was very weird.
