A good Friday.

I baked some No Knead Bread today.  Boy was that good for my supper this evening.

Then I worked on sweeping out and organizing the garage so that it is easier to stack boxes in there and if my brothers have to take down the ramp, they will have room to move a round in there.

I had a "double date" for lunch today.   I met my friend Sonya at the Diary Queen just before noon.  She had an appointment in downtown Plymouth at about one and had to leave at 12:30PM.  This is when I meet my Bank Ladies so it seemed like a natural.   I had my meal with Sonya and my dessert with the ladies.    Sonya is so good to me.  She brought me apples and raspberries.

It was also good spending time with Betty, Marlene, Ceil and Barb again.   Lots to catch up on. 

Home again, I finished my garage work and have been kind of relaxing and catching up on finances and correspondence.

The person who came back to see the house, has now asked for the average cost of utilities.   I wish he would just get off the line and either give up or offer.    No other leads just now.    I just have to hang on.   As you all know me.   Once I get something in my head I am not patient.   So I hope something happens soon.   I just keep packing and cleaning.   Actually I am sick of having to keep everything all picked up and scrubbed.

It was a beautiful day today.   The sun was shining, no wind and a nice comfortable temperature.

I got a lot done too.   I went to see my chiropractor this afternoon.   I feel pretty good right about now.

This afternoon, I also went through the dvds that Dick and I had accumulated and picked out about half of them to take with me.   There are just too many and lots of them I know that I realistically will not look at.   Anybody want any old comics or old musicals,  I have them.  Otherwise, they will be donated to St. Vinnie's next week.

I had a slew of phone calls to make today too.  I am almost all caught up.

Friday is kind of busy.  Didn't start out that way. 

Until tomorrow

I did a lot of sorting today.     This morning, I took Great Grandpa Bowser's Wedding coat to Aunt Kathleen's house.     Christine, my cousin, Kathleen's daughter, is going to look it over and see if the Wisconsin Historical Society wants it - otherwise, we will check with the Fond du Lac, History center as that was where they settled, way back then.

Then I cleaned the garage windows.  The window cleaner must have missed them and (note this Jim) there were those ladybugs (beetles) trying to get in the garage.   They were on the sill and at the entrance to the garage door.    I cleaned then sprayed the entrances.  Hope I am on time.

I went through the VHS tapes today.   I am keeping some, but am donating a lot of them to St. Vinnie's.  I have so many DVD's too.  Will also sort through them.   Perhaps some of you would like some of them as they don't get old like the VHS do and most of us have the DVD players.   Not necessarily the VHS players.

Tonight I am going to the Poets at Mead meeting.   Might as well go as long as I am in the state.  I will be picking up Sy.   He is always glad to go and he cannot drive, as he can't see well enough.

So until tomorrow.

Another beautiful day without the wind.   The leaves are mainly gone now.   Could not hang on in yesterday's wind.

Busy day.   I had an appointment with Dr. Sokhi, my tummy doctor.   I am still having some difficulties so am waiting for results from some tests he ordered.   As I say, I am in great shape for the shape I'm in.

Nicky and I had to leave the house just before 1PM as someone was coming to see the house.  We ran a bunch of errands..  I mailed presents for my new great grandson, Matthew.   We went grocery shopping and a couple other odd chores while we were out.   He seemed to enjoy the afternoon and it is good practice for our drive to Oklahoma some day in the future.

We got home after the potential buyers left.    Nicky always comes in the house after a viewing and barks and checks the house out for me.   What a guy.

Alison called and said that they are interested.   Only time will tell.

Please pray for an offer.   I am so tired.

What a weird day.

Went to Bible Study first thing.   We were nine strong.   It is good discussing John's Gospel.    We are still on the 2nd Chapter and stuck on the Wedding Feast at Cana.

Home again, I straightened up the house, had lunch and then went over to the neighbor's house at one o'clock because there was supposed to be a showing.  Nobody showed after 35 minutes, so I called Alison.   She called the realtor that was supposed to be bringing the potential buyer.   He had forgotten?   So rescheduled for three PM.   What a wasted afternoon.     Turns out that the potential buyer is allergic to trees:)   More Weird.


It was a pleasant day, though very windy.    I think Nicky is starting to wonder what is going on around here.

Home

I had a whole day at home.   Apparently my neighbors did not have this luxury.  I want to share some scones that I baked and nobody is home.

The Packers won.  Yippee.  I seem to be holding my position in the fantasy football league. (Except for the survival league which I blew all by myself.)

Someone came back to see the house for the second time today and they stayed for quite a while.   That is encouraging, but no cigar.  The offer is what I need.  Someone will be viewing the condo tomorrow afternoon too.  We are getting interest.  We just lowered the price by $4000.   Hope that will reinvigorate the interest.

Until tomorrow.
