Ahhh! Memorial Day weekend – finally it’s almost here! Being the first work day off since New camping at Dog Woods, but this year we’ll be hanging at the house. We’ll be doing a small cookout on Saturday afternoon with some porch dwelling and cornhole on the agenda. And it will be the last time to hang at this house on Memorial Day weekend! I’ve already warned them that there are boxes and corners of disaster everywhere. I have managed to keep the guest room box and clutter free though.
This is one of my most looked forward to long weekends. And as a plus, Jami & Larry, our greatest friends from Indy, always come down for the long weekend and hang out with us.
Portia is supposed to be home visiting starting Monday for a week or so since this Friday is her last day of school. She may be getting a job at the local pool where she lives, which would be wonderful for her, but will limit her free days during the summer. But what better place to work in the summer than at a pool and make some money!
As a house update, the appraisal was yesterday on the new house and we should know the results by the end of this week. Waiting is the hardest part, especially since once we find out if the appraisal came through ok we’ll get a closing date soon after. And I’m very anxious to know some dates so I can plan more efficiently. In the meantime I think I’ve boxed almost all unnecessary items and thrown out almost all unwanted items. Thanks to my brother, almost all the painting is done and we only have a small list of home repairs left to do.
Things are moving along! We also have a potential buyer for Dog Woods and the camper, which would be an added bonus. I will miss it, but there is no point in living on 11 acres and keeping a 6 acre getaway when we’ll be literally living in a get-away all the time – with running water and plumbing, no less!
