I look forward to reading your blog! I am in the process of buying a 101 year old house and should get my keys on Monday! I am doing the sage burning thing too, and I'm not Wiccan. I do however, believe that there can bad presence in old house with lots of history. I even had my psychi friend walk through it before I placed my bid; cause you can't be too careful! lol I look forward to reading your blog. I'm not sure if you realize it, but your entire page is black below your post... I have to highlight the black in order to find where to enter my name, website, etc. (does anyone else have this problem?) Hi, I just found your blog on House Blogs.

You know, we have known one another for 20 years? You are still awesome. I was chuckling a bit, I must admit, when I heard you were going over to smudge the house. :) May this project be absolutely blessed, and as much fun as you always hoped such an adventure would be. My love to you, Jen and your beautiful Thekla. I am very proud of you, for many reasons, including having such an amazing life. You know, we have known one another for 20 years?

Except I was Pesci and my subconscious was O'Hara pleading with me to stop picking at it. What if that plaster is that 'one nail' that holds the whole house together?? It could collapse before we even move in!!!
