Well here i am today. We have had lookers at the house but no one willing to buy. They love the land but the house is not up to the standards for most of them. So we just keep fixing and changing and trying to make it more appealing.
For those of you that don't know, I decided to take retirement one year early so it was official july one and i turned 65 july 3rd. I was busy the first week with dog shows and a quilt retreat so didn't really notice it. Mon i called in to see if they needed me as i am still on reserve status (thats help if they need you) and they didn't need me this week. I will still be doing call one week a month tho.
So pray people that this house sells as its going to be pretty tight around here paying bills and maintinaing with not the old regular income.
The dog show was great, sallee did pretty well in agility and rally. Annie (our 16 year old that goes along) wiped the floor with everyone she is so good. She showed Iris in junior conformation and breed ring but we only got 2 reserves. competition is stiff at this championship level and Iris didn't do her best showing. We are going for grand championship. But she did fair in rally and earned a title and she did great in agility and earned more points for her uach title. she is 1/3 of the way there. she needs 100 points at scores of 196 or higher. so we had fun, were busy as can be and came home tired and jazzed going over many laughs of the weekend. Dog shows and spending time with your dogs is the very best way to spend your time.
The second best way to spend your time is to quilt. I went to a quilt retreat for 5 days in orting, wa. Its a great facitility, a great little town and the 10 of us had a ball. I might post some pictures on here so i have them in a space i can save tho they all did go on facebook. I guess i have to figure the picture thing out since i can't seem to find how to put pictures on it from the phone.
I was back here on my birthday and Freeland puts on this big party with fireworks just for me so i was there. We got there in time to hear a brass drum band and see the fireworks. It was great.
Now to clean up the house and dig into working on this house.
