We're holding.... I've never counted the house as an ATM. I know what it is worth and it has no paper attached. I have considered that when I do decide to retire I should sell it and build a new place up in Creswell on the River. BTW We came over your side of the hill when I was up there. We popped over to Florence for lunch. I was the only one that had Scallops. I was the only person puking for a day...
