A Check-in

I woke up early, like most days, with a very busy mind. Instead of laying in bed, I thought I would get up and check in with all of you.

As you know, Ward and I are buying a new house. Details along that front are progressing well, but still at warp speed. The bank continues to think of ways to ask for new paperwork, but so far we've been able to keep up with their demands.

Wednesday, we met with a contractor to talk about redoing the master bathroom in the new house. It's rather crowded. You have to sit on the toilet to get out of the way of the open shower door. We're hoping to rearrange the space a bit, so we can turn around in it. He's also going to do a couple of other things with vents and exhaust fans. In addition, we've scheduled a roofer to do a "tune up" on the detached garage roof, and talked to a window guy about replacing the bay window.

Meanwhile, back here we've been continuing to get rid of things. A huge load went out on Saturday and another one yesterday. There have been a few nostalgic tears when an object makes us think about the good times our family has had here. Oh, the house is all sparkly now since we've had it pressured washed. How's that to change the mood from being sentimental?

Well, I've overspent my computer time this morning. We're getting ready to spend a long weekend with my mother. We hope to leave on our long drive in 45 minutes, so I better get hopping. We're pretty well prepared, but the last minute stuff always seems to take forever.

Have a good Labor Day weekend.

Until next time...
