A House Hunting Declaration

[polaris134]

Brian and I have started looking at houses. We have an online list of potential properties to go through. One of them had a veranda so big and wide, covered all with white wicker furniture, that I wanted to sit back, fan myself and have a mint julep. Brian had the urge to put on a white suit and about two hundred pounds. It's the kind of veranda where you sit around all day declaring how hot it is. But first, you declare that you are declaring this, like so:

"I do declare, [declaration]!"

Just so there's no confusion about the nature of your words.

And then you sweat profusely for several hours.
