We wish someone would buy our house already, say a big prayer this morning and maybe, just maybe, with the power of prayer, it’ll sell. Yesterday we worked on the outside and inside and hired James to help with the yard. I think he was going to get some grass planted in the bare spots in the afternoon. We couldn’t afford him but were in one of those situations where we also couldn’t afford not to get it done. We then grabbed the boys and took a load up to the mountains along with Ben from across the street who just returned from Walla Walla Wa where he was for a few weeks. Upon arriving in the hills we unloaded more stuff and then Lori and I ran to stop by some friends on the way to Home Depot for some hangers and rugs. We then headed home and grabbed the 3 kids to head out to dinner.
On the way home from dinner at 6:30 we decided to head down to Eagle to go to the County Fair. We were there until about 9pm letting the boys have fun on the rides and play the carnival games. Turns out Ty, with his superior athletic ability, won a goldfish by throwing a ping pong ball into a tiny little glass fish bowl on a large spinning circular platform. He is all excited and has named his new pet Goldie. It reminded me of the time when we were kids and we went to Cheyenne Frontier Days and my Mom won a duck! She named it Ralph but soon had to change it to Ralphina when it started laying eggs. Eventually a dog or a fox found out we had a duck and that was it. Anyhow the kids were in heaven at the fair, what kid wouldn’t at 11 and 13 years old. Here in Eagle it was like being in Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show. It really has that small town type of vibe.
We have two showings today, one at 9 and the other at 10 so we’ll get home around 11. It’s so nice up here with the cool breeze in the morning. We’re strategically arranging everything as it’s a lot smaller than our house. It forces you to really get rid of stuff that’s useless which is a good exercise in itself. I think I’ll need to rent an office space for me as there’s just not enough room.
Hope all’s well and remember, say a prayer now, even if you don’t regularly pray! It will help!
God Bless.
