We have the sounds of banging and heavy thuds reverberating through the house.\u00a0 At long last the repairs are being made to our roof.\u00a0 The roof was damaged, nine holes, when a 60-foot evergreen blew down about six weeks ago.\u00a0 We hope they will finish this evening, but they may need to return tomorrow.\u00a0 Storms are coming our way, so there won’t be much room for delay.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, our realtor came to stage our house to prepare it for photographs.\u00a0 I made a list as I followed him around so that I wouldn’t forget anything.\u00a0 We’ve begun with some of the easiest tasks, and will work at it daily for the next few days.\u00a0 The realtor wants the house to look as large as it can, so we are putting away or packing up anything we can live without.\u00a0 I think the house looks sterile, but it certainly does look BIG!\u00a0 We need to move at least six chairs, a table, and several other odds and ends downstairs\u00a0 They want me to shift some plants to clear three windows in the living room.\u00a0 I’m astonished as how effective his requests are in opening up the rooms.\u00a0 Be prepared, though; our island in the kitchen looks like the State of Texas.\u00a0 It’s almost bare, and just huge!<\/p>\n
I made a call today, and we have a carpet cleaner coming on Monday.\u00a0 We had a load of composted topsoil delivered today, and I began top dressing the perennials in the gardens at the front of the house.\u00a0\u00a0 I need to find someone to clean the outside windows this coming week.\u00a0 Dear Husband has talked with a company about delivering gravel for the drive.\u00a0 The cleaning lady comes on Thursday, and we should have pictures taken on the Friday before Easter!\u00a0 Whew!<\/p>\n
Things are really heating up with the sale of the house.\u00a0 I can see the agent is eager to sell it.\u00a0 We are not as eager to make the move, but the time is right for a LOT of reasons.<\/p>\n
My mantra these days is:\u00a0 Wish us luck!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
