Doug & Misty Buy A House

Back


This is the house purchased by Doug and Misty. 

It is very red.

 

They bought it because Misty couldn't part with her cats and Lewiston landlords aren't very keen on pets.

Who couldn't love this cute face?

Or this one?


Doug & Misty's house search took them many places.   They saw some rather nice homes . . .  

a house we looked at

  inside the house we looked at doug moose!

. . . and some pretty weird stuff.


Some places were just too small.

barely big enough for a tall doug!

Some, frankly, needed a lot of work.

 

The houses Misty liked, Doug didn't.  And so on.

Then they found the little red lobster trap,

why does misty call it the lobster trap?

 

love at first sight!

and it was just right.

It had everything they could have asked for:

 


 

our quiet, wooded street

a quiet, wooded neighborhood;

 

 

a cozy backyard, complete with roses;

look at the beautiful roses!

an enclosed patio;

this patio needs furniture

 

and a place for Doug to store his tools.

doug's room!

 

It even has a ball court, where they plan to settle all their marital disputes.

After a great deal of money exchanged hands, the proud new owners took possession on September 11.

Doug set to work right away getting things in order.

c'mon, muscles!

 Sometimes Misty helped.

Doug's parents spent most of their visit painting, fixing, and setting things up.

gary is doing all the hard work here


Granted, there are some adjustments for the new co-habiters to make.

Doug's decorating style differs from Misty's.

Doug does things like alphabetize the spice cabinet.

yes, the spice cabinet is alphabetized. and inventoried.

but hey, it tasted good!

Misty can't bake to save her life.


Nevertheless, they truly feel fortunate to have a place to call their own.

And the cats have settled right in.
