Welcome to the jungles

It's still pretty busy in Casa Stullover. But, yesterday, we managed to somehow get spontaneously invited to a tour of a neighbor's house. We've been curious about this house ever since we've moved into the area. So, yesterday when we were all in the yard, he struck up a conversation and invited us to see his backyard jungle (indeed, it is a jungle, but very cool with trails) and that led to a whole house tour.

Among the highlights: a fully operational sauna, large elevated back porch, panoramic views out the living room of said jungle, a private study/office in addition to 4 bedrooms, and a very nice green shady feel all around. But, it wasn't perfect and they pointed out a few needed updates, so we aren't as drawn to the house as we used to be. Also, it's creek side, so the mosquitoes were insane.

We had a nice dinner with friends last night. We lost track of time, which is always a good sign. The funny thing is our friends live off of Middle to Lower Greenville (I'm not sure if it's technically in the M Streets), so when we left we had to contend with the Greenville cruisers. Wow, that was enlightening. People still do that. And we passed one new club so pretentious they didn't have a sign up. From my car in the street I could smell the cologne from the guys entering. Do girls really like smelly men like that? Seems kind of, I don't know, fake. I guess it beats B.O.
