No News is Bad News

Which means that our house has not received one single offer yet.  We have had surprisingly very little traffic. The weird thing is the feedback is positive. Lot’s of people have loved the house. I guess just not enough to actually buy it. We are in crunch time right now. We took a big chance [...]

Open House

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 [...]

You are not going to believe this…

It looks like an offer on the house is coming in tomorrow.  The people who came on Saturday loved the house and has even requested that we wait to MLS it until they get their offer in.  Praising God right now for His mercies and praying that this would work out. I’m trying hard not [...]

This is the deck I painted.

It’s crunch time

This week–Day one

Today my friend came over and she schooled her kids and mine, fixed lunch, answered questions and was generally around for them, while I packed, ran an errand with hubby, and packed some more.  What a blessing that was and will continue to be as she will come on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to do [...]

Wow-what a day!

It was beautiful here today.  Sunny, coolish to warmish, bright.  I love it. We tend to get a small reprieve from the rain sometime in February.  It’s a nice break before the rain hits hard again from March to May.
Our friends came over to help us work on the house.  Fixing, building, cleaning. In total [...]
