This Saturday is our first open house. And wouldn’t you know it, after the very slow start of summer weather, we are supposed to have heat in the 90’s. We do not have air conditioning, so it is going to be hot and very apparent that we don’t have air conditioning. We really only need it about 2 maybe 3 weeks out of the year, but when you are trying to show and sell a house, it is not a good thing. There are still some last minute things we have to do, like paint more molding and hang doors back up. I really don’t want to paint molding ever again. So beside cleaning and painting, I will be cleaning and painting. It’s my life right now.
Oh, and please pray for my kids. They are so tired of trying to play on their own, without playing with anything. They want to swim, have friends over and have a grand time. They have been so patient but I fear the patience is wearing thin. I was hoping to take them on a day trip to a camping area where some other local homeschoolers are, but I can’t take the time away right now. I was planning on picking strawberries tomorrow, but now I am wondering the wisdom in having pounds strawberries to process right before an open house. Maybe I better wait until Monday.

I feel your pain. I can’t believe how hot it’s going to be. CRAZY for our neck of the woods.
People in our states don’t think about air conditioning, don’t worry yourself. We all know that it passes quick and it’s not necessary.
I feel your pain too… In Washington, they seem somewhat against building houses with air conditioning. Just heaters… Which is ok for the winter, but in the summer it actually does get hot up here sometimes…
But as it pertains to your Open House, soon you won’t need to worry about prospective buyers sweating to death while checking out your place… I’m releasing a website http://www.openhousebroadcast.com (it’s not live yet, it’s on a test server still) where you can conduct the open house over the Internet with a laptop and a webcam. That way nobody has to endure the heat just to look at your property. They can just log in and watch from home. Actually, they don’t even have to be in your city or state to attend. As long as they have Internet access, they can watch from Canada if they wanted to…
Well, I wish you luck on your Open House this weekend. Make sure to have some iced beverages handy!!

I say go pick a few berries and eat them. Forget the processing and just enjoy some fresh berries and fun!!
I have a love/hate relationship w/ the whole moving process — I like getting rid of stuff … see my post today in that regard — then why not go pick a few strawberries

Praying that all goes well with your Open House! And strawberries tomorrow will be much more enjoyable with this weekend behind you. Hang in there!
