8-29 End of August Memories

We are lucky to be able to sit in our carport in the shade and watch some of the yearly "Airshow". I like it because the noise is not so bad and no crowds to contend with. The Pasero's came over this day and shared the event.

HOUSE SOLD

Tuesday August 25th (three weeks after putting the "for sale" sign out), Carol Finley from California came through our home and fell in love with it. I saw it in her eyes that she would make an offer. And less than 3 hours after viewing it her realtor was back in our home with all the paperwork! She came by with her daughter-in-law the next morning to show "her new home".

We were relieved, but at the same time I did shed a tear. I have loved being here in this neighborhood and love all my neighbors. A door is closing on this chapter of our life, and a new door will have to be opened. A little scary at our age.... The inspection passed, with 3 minor fixits. So we are in full swing of packing!!! And what a chore it has turned out to be. We have to be out by the 1st of October.

8-22 GARAGE SALE

Our neighborhood has a garage sale every other year on a Friday and Saturday. Dori came and participated this time. I was glad that she was with me, more enjoyable for me. The stuff was in our carport. We both did pretty well. At the last 3 hours Dianna brought some stuff over and even some of it sold!

8-14 and 8-15 August Memories when Hanchett's were in town.

The Hanchett family had a short visit this summer. We had a lot of fun seeing them again, but it was not long enough. We don't mind sharing the family with Mike's Dad and family, though. The children were quite cute showing us things they could do. It was an enjoyable couple of days.

O'Malley our Lazy Cat

8/11/09 These TWO pictures of O'Malley is typical on any given morning. I should have posted without them in a slide, but oh, well.
