Snort. That was a delightful image!
Dunno what a fairy house is, but what a lovely thing to have children in the woods nearby, experiencing magic. And to have parents so comfortable letting their children go play on your porch.
Magic.
Loved the previous post about the "click", too. No more Nurse and Yelly Guy, but more time with an older couple who must look at you as the angel of the woods, bearing pans.
Bravo!

You know you're over the little things if you're prepared to admit to being any negative thing any neighbor calls you, then add some stuff on top. That's where I'm at, yup yup yup.
I just installed a big wide shelf, with aluminum siding behind, blocking the nurse's view of my porch, and my view of her front yard (till those newly planted baby Hemlocks grow.)
Lots ya of storage space for pinecones, bark, twigs and lichen....the basic building blocks of good gnome/fairy homes everywhere.
It's absolutely gorgeous out today! Will figure out something marvelous to do outdoors.

Oldest DD moving into her own apartment with best friend. They go out, socialize, have an active friend group with game nights and she'll likely have a paid internship with her favorite science professor..... teacher's pet has always been her sweet spot.
She's pulled off a 4.0 and loves school. This reminds me when she was little and was angry she couldn't be in school 7 days a week. I thought those days were over as she skirted through HS like a rebel, rarely doing homework....but teachers let her pass bc they knew she knew the material.
Youngest DD has good grades....not sure how good, bc she isn't telling. I'm just glad they chose school for their own reasons, when they were ready and take the responsibility seriously.
Youngest attending Comic Con event with bf, his mother and her sister..DD says they remind her of me and my sister and they're all in costumes.
Once DD 23 is moved in, we plan to visit my sis and lovely BIL in Canada for a while.
We'll visit the Ohio cousins.....one has 3rd granddaughter on the way with her oldest DD and wedding for youngest dd...very exciting. Can't wait to do "This is the way the lady rides" with the toddler....so cute!
That's my update and this post is me avoiding the anxiety of creating dust in the house. Can you really get everything clean again, ever? I think not.

Hi, Tupp:
I'm currently covered in grout dust and about to add a few layers of wood dust. I scraped, sanded and otherwise beat the old thinset off the backerboard from the failed 12 x 24 inch tile fail..... they were coming down in heavy sharp surprise bombings. I can't believe the new glass shower door wasn't destroyed. I'm spent after working over my head for hours..... that ceiling isn't flat.... large tiles were never going to stay.
I cannot believe how much trouble a tiled shower ceiling IS. Never ever ever ever ever again. Never. Tomorrow I grout it and all the little things left to do with the grout.
Things are moving fast now..... DD21 visited for a couple hours with her boy friend and that was nice, but taxing. He's a talker, that one.
DD23 called to ask where she could find a tape measure. Before I spiraled into a "I didn't teach my girls where basic tools ARE!" I shifted into.....
I'll put togehter a tool kit for DD and help her organize and store it at her new place... then be available to help her with projects. That was just what I needed as I've noticed how easy it is for a song or a smell or sight to shift me into the past. Just noticing. Not judging. I move out of it, but I do notice.
And the dust will never be gone, you're right about that. I feel like I've been at the beach. I have grout sand everywhere!
