Wonderful! and Sorry!
Thanks PF! Hope all works as it's supposed to.
Wonderful! and Sorry!
Just got off the phone with the realtor/property manager, and I think we have a buyer for Mom's house! I accepted their counter offer. I feel a wave of a mix of nostalgia and sadness, but it sounds like this young family will love the house as much as I did growing up in it.
Thought of all you Costco lovers when I picked up a Costco Cookbook at Goodwill for $1. The price was right and it had beautiful pictures of each dish. A picture always makes a recipe look more inviting. The book was put out by Costco and probably sold in the store at one time. the recipes listed brands specific to Costco, and also featured a few chefs from Food Network. It's a very nice cookbook, and the price was right!
Thinking I feel too good to go to work today, might call in well.
I am getting my internet fix.
Six hours without power... interesting times indeed. I passed the time drinking beer and reading a story I had saved on my laptop called Lights Out.
I'm taking a "kitty break". Shreddy wants lovin's. I'm not going to pass up the opportunity while I still have it.
I'm up to my eyeballs in tax returns and I have a headache. The kitty breaks are therapeutic, yeah, that's it.
Dawg, I know how you feel. When we inherited my folks' home I was so happy that one or both of our kids needed someplace to live while we were fixing it up for market. It was five years before neither needed to live there, but by that time I was finally ready to let go. My folks moved there in 1958 when I was 7; I got married from that home when I was 23, and all I have is happy memories of my life there and visits after. Keep the memories close and know someone else is making their own.Just got off the phone with the realtor/property manager, and I think we have a buyer for Mom's house!

Awww, thanks, LP, Cheryl and CG! It's not a done deal yet, but I'm hopeful and very excited about the sale. Excellent location, and more closets than I've ever seen in any house. Lots of fixer-upper stuff though, Mom had let a lot of things go, but the "bones" are excellent.
I just got my little Go Pro Hero 3+ Silver camera from Amazon, it's so tiny! Plan to use it for snorkeling. Had to research it on YouTube, I couldn't figure out how to get it out of the package!
