Oh, well. At least I can live vicariously through the Parade of Homes twice a year.

She&#8217;s just as curious about how the affluent people of Wichita live as we are.  =P  <\/p>\n<p>Check out Misty and Brian are staring at something below.  I don&#8217;t know what they are looking at&#8230;  Probably the manabloc.  Brian always likes checking out the utility room in the basement.  He fancies himself as some sort of plumbing expert ever since he started working for Viega and he is totally fascinated by the manablocs.
