Saturday House work and then to the new property!

Saturday, May 18, 2013

DH and Mr R went down to the new property yesterday. So I got most of My house work done last night. Boy was I tired at bed time. emoticon I got up this morning and started in on the rest of the house work. Got that done. Last night I also got all the laundry done. I am ready for company now. My Sister-In-Law from Texas is coming Thursday. I did get My Memorial Day flowers so I have to get those ready to go to the cemetery. I will work on that tomorrow evening. We did get signed Thursday on the Lake place and the money went into Our account yesterday. I am waiting on a call from the Real Estate Guy-He is coming this way for a Graduation and I have some things for the folks that bought the place. Once I meet with Him I will head to the new property. DH is getting ready to plant watermelons, cantaloupe, okra an other stuff. We are planting some sweet corn near the big water tank for Us and the deer!!
PLEASE everyone be weather aware this weekend they say there will be big storms!
Enjoy Your weekend!! Love 'all!! ((HUGS))

    I hope you stay safe from the storms; I saw them talking about them in that part of the country on the Weather Channel last night.

WOW Yesterday was a trip!

Friday, May 17, 2013

We were to close on the Lake place Monday and that was postponed. We were to sign yesterday at 2:00 so We went to the storage building and found part of what We had been looking for and then headed to Arkansas to get Memorial Flowers at A to Z. That done We headed back to Eufaula. At 1:00 I got a call that We still had problems and could not sign yet. So We went to Walmart in the area and shopped and did some other shopping. Around 3:45 I called the Real Estate Dude ad He said We would sign at 4:30. So it was 6:00 before We left Eufaula. We got home a little after 7:00. Imagine My surprise when I went to Spark and the Web Site was down. I guess I better get busy and get yesterday put in so I am ready for today!
Enjoy Your Friday!! Please be weather aware over the weekend as there are to be more storms! Love Y'all!! (((((HUGS)))))

    So, did you finally get to sign??

KERRYG155 5/17/2013 5:28PM

    But you got it signed, sealed and delivered, right?? My daughter and son-in-law got an offer on their place and their counter was accepted but dd told their realtor it was conditional on their having a certified letter within 21 days that they qualify for the loan. The realtor wasn't sure that could be done but my dh told her she was in the business and yes, it could. Hope theirs goes through, too. Happy for you!!

    So, I take it you are all signed and closed? Cool! Yeah, I tried several times through the evening and I think their 4 hours down grew to pretty much more than that and I went to bed. Just now trying to play catch-up! lol
Yes, we have storms slated for the weekend and then possibly through most of next week! Hope to just get some rain.
Have a super day, my friend!

    I just read about the Spark issue - fortunately it didn't impact me as I made sure I finished my Sparkin' early......

I trust that everything *finally* went well with your closing? I know of so many folks who've had to struggle with delay after seemingly endless delay - sure is a nuisance, eh?

Enjoy your Friday and weekend!

It is a Doggie kind of day!

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Right now I have 2 Boston Terriers, a Pit/Sharpe mix, and another little dog in My office. The Boston's belong to My Boss, The pit/sharpe belongs to My son and the other little dog belongs to one of the Guys in the Gun Room. It is funny to watch Me walk the dogs. LOL!!!
It is cloudy and muggy here I hope it does not storm later! Be safe and Enjoy Your day! Love Y'all! ((HUGS))

Lots of steps today and good news!

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I have done a lot of walking today! WooHoo! I heard from the Real Estate Guy and We should close on the lake place Thursday Morning. I will be so glad to be rid of it. I know I did not want to sell it, but once I made up My mind to sell I want it done. DH got the septic tank and lateral lines in today. Big WooHoo!!! Another reason for wanting to go and close I need to go to A to Z in Alma Arkansas. I get My flowers for the cemeteries (Memorial Day) there.
I hope everyone has had as productive a day as I have had! Enjoy the rest of Your Tuesday! Love Y'all!! (((((HUGS)))))

Crazy Monday!

Monday, May 13, 2013

DH went back to the property this morning to dig the hole for the septic tank. He was having trouble so I spent most of the morning trying (without success) to find some to help Him. He called around 2:00 and said He had it almost ready. He was also going to try to till up a place to plant watermelons, cantaloupe and such.
Now if I can just get back to regular work!
Enjoy the rest of Your day! Love Y'all!! (((((HUGS)))))

    That sounds like way too much work!! Glad it's done or about done. The garden sounds great! I miss a good garden.

    Bless his heart! I remember my dad digging up our septic tank when I was a kid. I know this was not quite the same as digging a new hole, but might as well have been as he had to dig out tree roots that were clogging it, so was just as much work! (And he was the one who created the hole for the tank in the first place, too!)
He certainly had a ton of work to do!
Hope y'all have a relaxing evening!
