That right there is why I’m amazed that we’ve shown our house to four different groups of people in the last 27 hours. (She actually did that during tonight’s showing. At least it kept her quiet!) What a weekend! This weekend was going to be our last big push at getting the last few home [...]
When I need you to tell all of your friends that there is a really nice house for sale in one of the best neighborhoods in Prince Albert. If we didn’t have to move from the city, we would’ve been set in this house for life. We love it. The rooms are big. The layout [...]
And yes, I did write them on a scrap paper when Luke got up to pee at 6:30am .
Apparently I was so moved by a particular episode of Newhart that I kissed George Utley gently on the lips. (Not sure how he ended up in my parents’ family room but there he was.) And then [...]
Those handful of days when I want need to make chocolate chip cookies every day around 3pm.
(I should really make a double batch, but every day I tell myself, “tomorrow I’ll have self-control. We’re at day three here, so the feeling should soon pass.)
Because last Wednesday there was snow on the ground (!!), Luke’s preschool day at the farm was cancelled, which meant that today BOTH am and pm classes went together to the farm. That makes 40 three and four year olds. That is a LOT of three and four year olds. I’d already volunteered to help [...]
Is the day my parents got married. So, today my brothers and I and our families gathered to celebrate this milestone, their life together, and all the good that has resulted from it. It was a good day. We started with appetizers at my brother’s house. Then we took my parents on a little geo-cache [...]
(AKA: Before and Afters)
I’ve been working my butt off the past few days taking listing pictures for the house. (Which is why I’m treating myself to a few minutes of sit-down time (while the dryer finishes) to write this post and have a Dr. Pepper.) Even though I’d already down initial purges of all the [...]
We’ve worked pretty hard this weekend trying to check things off our list of things that need to be done on the house before we list it and, more specifically, before the appraisers come on Friday. Thanks so much to our friends who came and helped us on Saturday and the family that took our [...]
It was so sunny and warm and beautiful after church today that (despite our exhaustion) we put the afternoon nap on hold and went for a picnic in one of the fields near our house. It was last May when the dandelion field was in full “bloom” and so I thought maybe we’d get some [...]
Luke & Olivia are playing nicely together in the newly-painted craft room, and even that makes me feel a little better. The last few days I feel like I’ve been slipping back into the “old Dixie” who gets frustrated and hopeless before she’s even out of bed in the morning. And I don’t want to [...]
