What a Day!







Thanks to Freeman for turning me onto this app, where I can blog from my phone! I didn't think I was going to use it but...it's really conveinent!

Wow! We are outside comin off a busy day. All of these clothes plus some got pulled out of dressers and closets this morning. My buddy Deb came over (thank God for her) and helped me count (for taxes), pack and deliver. We took everything downtown where she voulenteers to a place called Safari Seconds. The help new comers to this country from Africa by educating them and providing via a thrift shop, food, clothes, furniture and such. We had a tastey lunch at a burger place called The Counter and ran loads of errands. Meanwhile, Dan cleared out the garage, sold some tools to our friend Bryan, and did lawn work. In the middle of all this, he had to leave because some folks who saw the house yesterday came by to see it again today. Now, he's going to set up my computer so we can back up the iPhones and take a shower while I deal with laundry, clean out the dishwasher and make dinner. I got some tomatoes from the CSA so I'm going to make a sauce for pasta. Then it's red wine, the lazy girl and a couple of episodes of Weeds. Oh, I guess we need to pack still!

I'm jumpin out my skin!

We have had 4 showings in 3 days and tomorrow is a second showing! Karen says we could have a contract before we get on the plane Sunday! The doctor is excited to meet with us on Monday. Wants us to meet him at his office after he performs 2 surgeries. Get a tour, have lunch, go for a nice walk, outfit us for some shoes. The car, on eBay has 1 bid. We could come back with a contract on the house, the car sold, and a job! As my friend Dyanne says it'll all come together, it's all coming together! Yeay!

For Sale!


Yesterday the house went on the market! If you click on the for sale heading you can see the virtual tour, it really looks good. Our realtor Karen's company does tours every Wednesday. So, yesterday 13 Realtors came over to check out the house. We got really great feedback, one person thought it was priced too high. We have it listed at 265 and he suggested 250. Karen says since we have the hard wood floors, patio cover and back to open space, it's priced fairly. We even had some folks come over in the afternoon and take a look. Wish us luck!

My next post will be from Maui! Friday I'm going out with the girls Marisol and Dyanne for happy hour. Saturday we are de cluttering the closets and garage and Dan has to patch up the driveway. I'm going to take some clothes to a place where my friend Deb volunteers called Safari Seconds http://www.africancommunitycenter.net/safari_seconds.html and drop off some single use food containers to Meals on Wheels (left over personal chef artifacts). Sunday, we are off on our research trip. We will meet with the doctor, check out some rentals, meet with a realtor, open a bank account and snorkel. My buddy John Freeman turned me on to an app called blog press so I can blog from my phone while we are there! Deb will be staying at the house watching the kids and hopefully dealing with potiential buyers. Aloha!
