I Was Right- The First Time

Well, that couple is no longer interested in our house, so we've all relaxed a little, and stopped packing. Whew. We'll probably end up unpacking what we've packed so we can keep using it.

Last week we lost electricity for two days because of a bad early-spring slush storm that knocked down quite a few power lines. Being without power is mildly annoying to me because it is too much like camping, which I detest. Thankfully, the power came on just in time for Dad's birthday dinner, though it didn't come on soon enough so I still had to make dinner on the wood stove.

Also last week- my first trip to the Capitol to volunteer for my favorite State Senator. I only took one wrong turn on my way there, but even that made me all flustered. I spent the day writing letters of response to constituents. It was enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to going back next week.

Tonight we are expecting our grandparents back from their winter home of Texas, attending a Biblestudy, and picking up our co-op health food order, while Dad is going to a Tea party and Jen is in Lincoln. I'm also cutting out some skirts for Jen's ballet students for her upcoming recital, which she is stressed about. Life seems so much busier now that spring has begun... if only I had some money to pay for all those upcoming events.

Pins and Needles

Well... I may have been wrong about that couple not liking our house. The lady seemed to like it a lot, actually. So we are waiting on pins and needles to see if they make an offer in the next week. We weren't expecting anyone to be so interested, after trying to sell both our house and business for a year and a half with no serious customers. This also leaves us in a dilemma, if this couple does make an offer, since we have no where to go and are hoping to build instead of buy a house.

So that's all we've been thinking about all week-moving from our home of 15 years(full of 15 years worth of stuff) to no one knows where!

Determine

"Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing."

--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Martha Jefferson, 5 May 1787

Idleness is bad, but relaxation is good!
