Random Bits

*We did NOT get an offer on our house last week. The woman brought her family to look later that day and they stayed for 1 1/2 hours! My realtor and I just knew they were going to make an offer, especially after they called wanting power bills, info on the neighborhood amenities and other stuff. We, and the other realtor, and from what I hear, the wife, were totally surprised to find out the husband decided that they would make an offer on a foreclosure in another neighborhood!
Oh well, I am trying to stay positive. I know that the right buyers will come along eventually!

*This teenager is just loving high school!
Here she is before she left for the first home football game last week:


*As soon as we arrive at the lake house I always cut some hydrangeas to bring in the house. This is what greeted me a couple weeks ago....
perfectly dried blossoms from the 4th of July weekend!
When we pack up to go, I just leave the cuttings in the vase, along with whatever water is left. And normally by the next time we arrive, they are dried!

*Today I bought some fabric to make teen daughter a little sundress to wear to the Clemson game. She wanted something orange and we were never able to find anything that she liked. So, it's mom and her awesome sewing skills to the rescue!

*I am so ready for fall to get here! I am loving that this morning was a little cooler than it has been and it looks like this weather is going to be hanging around for at least the next five or so days!

  1. Stay positive... when selling a house it can be hard. Many years ago, we were days away from closing. We moved completely out and the deal fell through the day of. Because of $$, we had to move BACK to our old house, eat two months of rent. Then it sold in three months. But, it all worked out!! Good luck! Happy to see your teen is loving high school!

  2. Sorry you didn't get an offer this time. Hopefully a new buyer will come along soon.

    Be sure to show us the orange dress when you've completed it!
