The clock is ticking....

Got an email from Momma...you know what that means!

Work...work...work! We are working ourselves to death and today we talked my brother-in-law, Terry, to come help. Terry bush hogged some of the pasture which helped out a lot while Larry cut the grass. Larry did a lot more than just cut the grass, though cutting our grass is no small task. Me, well I did a lot of odd jobs, you know the luxury ones like; Cleaned windows, cleaned base boards, puttied-sanded-painted some areas that needed to be touched up, touch up paint, hung some things on the wall, etc, etc, etc! OH...the BIG thing of the day...the guy came and fixed our shower tile where the grout was cracking and replaced a cracked tile. We have been waiting on him to do this FOOOOREEVVVEERRR! Downfall, we had to take a shower upstairs which is never the same as your own shower.

Today was Terry's birthday and we took him out to dinner. Of course then to Lowe's! Also today, Catherine got her braces on. Of course she is having discomfort to say the least.

Well, like I said in an earlier blog, we are hoping to show the house this weekend to 2 families. I have not heard back from them so I am not positive that they are coming. We are SO hopeful that one of them makes a great offer and it's a done deal. If not, we are hoping to have an open house next weekend.

Larry and I are looking forward to having some down time. Once the house sells we will still have to make decisions on our housing at Ft. Riley and plan the move BUT to be able to sit down in the evenings and watch TV or sit out on the deck or shop somewhere besides Lowe's...Ahhhh what small pleasures that would make such a difference in our lives. We need time to "Breath".

Please pray for the sell of the house and for our strength to finish this chapter in our lives and be rested for the next chapter.
