this past week our weather has been awesome , in the low 80's , but yesterday was 87 & muggy we had to turn the ac on . My garden is doing really well , except for my rhubarb & it is having a rough time , but I keep watering it with "Miracle Grow " so maybe it will do something this month . I have small tomatoes on my vines & blooms on my zucchini & yellow squash plants , so if the squirrels don't eat them up we may have fruit from our labor next month .Today we are helping our grand-daughter move into her 150 year old house in Indiana , it has been painted inside , floors redone & new electric run & the kitchen redone , so it is ready for them . Next year they will put in new windows . One thing at a time , I would not have had the patience they have had in the past 7 months they have been working on this monster of a house . It seemed like everyday there was something else to be a challenge . But today they are moving in & they are all very excited & happy .Which makes all the work they put into this place worth it . Our oldest daughter has come to her senses & has rented a hall for her wedding & reception . They were planning on having the wedding at his uncles farm , but I told her it will be cold & wet or maybe even snow by mid September . The wedding is scheduled for Sept. 17th . So after tossing it around & getting prices they finally rented a hall , that will make everyone feel better about attending & be more enjoyable since no one will have to worry about the weather.Our pool will be opened on June 1st & the sand will be changed in the filter this year , so an added expense this year for fresh sand . But worth it in the end for a clear pool for another 10 years. A realtor called us yesterday & said she had a party that was "interested" in purchasing our home , so she is coming out to "talk" to us about it & what we would have to have money wise to sell . We told her our home was paid for & it would take a good offer to make us want o move , but she said "no problem" & is coming out on Tuesday . I'm anxious to see what she has to say & what the offer is . At our ages we do not relish the thought of packing up & moving , but this is a huge house & we do need to "down size" since it is just the 2 of us & our 3 poodles. It won't hurt to hear what she has to offer. Hubby wants o move to Florida anyway so this just might be our ticket to move. 4951
