Breakwind Estates
We've had more than a bellyfull of driving around subdivisions and reading their pretentious names.   "Cherry Hill at Landsdowne" or "The Highlands Estates at Tut-tut."  Many times, the more haughty the name, the more modest the homes.  Or the other end of the spectrum the really, REALLY hoity toity houses which mandate a mouthful.....Pinnacle Heights at  Equestrian Hill.

Who are they kidding? 

Well, Molly had a stroke of brilliance in naming our very own subdivison: Breakwind Estates. (Proposed slogan: It's a Gas!)  Soon, the dreadful backseat bickering ended as we all proposed street names for Molly's subdivision. 

Consider: Cesspool Court!  Potty Court!  Fecal Trail!  (That was Jay's idea) Trotts Landing! 

We may have to add a few "e"s to our names...ergo....Cesspoole Court.  (Get the pointe?)  And of course, all new homeowners would get some of that fantastic toilet paper I wrote about the other day.

Who ever said you have to be a seventh grader to enjoy seventh grade humor?

We'd fit right in. And besides, I've already dubbed our little "estate" Big Butt Acres because of the arial view of the used-to-be garden and lawn in the back yard. It was completely unintentional, but I'll never forget the first time I looked out the upstairs bathroom window and saw...A GIANT GREEN CABOOSE!!! (So I'll never be a garden designer. ;-) )

Oh. Steve had a suggestion for a street name : how about Skidmark Lane?
