Santa's either early or...


I've been in the same apartment since coming to Corpus Christi in December of 2005. They're old, but wonderful. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fireplace, huge rooms, covered parking, about 1800 sq. feet...but they were built in the 1960's as townhomes so they have some wear and tear. So do a lot of the residents who have been here for 20+ years but that is another story. Age brings some problems - plumbing is one example. Several leaks have come and gone, a commode that literally blew up one weekend when I was not home - but as a renter, you don't care as you don't have to pay for repairs. And, it sure is nice to call and have them come fix things and not worry about cost. The pic is a leak that is being investigated in my entry way - they have had to take out sheet rock in the ceiling to locate the leak. Again, no worries as far as I was concerned. But Audrey was quite surprised when she walked in and saw the hole. She looked,she frowned, looked puzzled, changed her stance and looked again. She finally asked me, "Momma, did Santa try to get in?"

Yeah, poor Santa. He missed.
