    Karen ... I took a look at the house because I am generally curious about homes for sale ... and as my mom would say, I'm "nebby". Your old house is beautiful with magazine worthy decor/colors! I hope you get a generous offer!

    Beth

    I go to Open Houses, well because they're fun, have nice staging, and sometimes free cookies.

    Karen - Very nice. Like Kim, I love the screened porch. It must have taken a lot of work to get it sale ready. I hope you get lots of offers. <3
    Have you found a place to move to?

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Had some things written but the hard drive on my desktop crapped out. Need to get a new one so I’m on my laptop right now.

    Did Biggest Loser the Workout 2 DVD today then a Leslie Sansone DVD only this one was all weights. Work and then bowling tomorrow, then ceramics.

    I hate this time change. Wish we could stay on DST all the time.

    Friday I was so cold at work. It’s supposed to get warmer but I may put a down vest on my Christmas list. Does anyone have one that they use that they are happy with (barbie?). I’m thinking that I’d like one that is down and not just polyester and has pockets that hopefully will zipper. It would be nice if there were multiple pockets.

    Closed the pool yesterday (boo hoo). Today made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to take to Colby when we see them for Thanksgiving. Since Jess can’t come home, I’ll take the presents I have for them and they can open them Christmas day.

    Katie – thanks for the smile

    Karen – what a lovely house, especially that porch. I love our screened in porch, especially on cool evenings.

    Well, the yogurt in the IP is done, better get it to be drained, now.

    I’m needing to join this thread. I’m 51 this year. Single mother of two with three grands who keep me busy. I do work full time still. I’m trying to get myself to a healthier weight and lower my sugar and cholesterol per my doctors suggestion. I’m on daily but do not post daily. I’d like to get to know others in my age group who are struggling with my same issues. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Wow! Karen, that house is gorgeous! I love looking at houses.

    I finished book 12 of the Ruth Galloway series today and got my name on the waitlist for Book 13. Now I’m back to reading the Samantha Bell books on Kindle Unlimited. They aren’t as good, but they’re not bad. It took me a while to get into the first one, but once I did the underlying, recurring storyline keeps me reading. Plus, each one ends with a cliffhanger for the next. I don’t really like it when books do that, but then it works to get me back so there’s that.

    I need 600 more steps to get to 10,000 today. I had over 12,000 every day this month until yesterday when I just couldn’t do it. I think I got about halfway there. I’ll go sweep and mop the kitchen and it should put me over for today.

    I'm about ready for this:

    There is enough room under my desk ... I wonder if anyone would notice! :lol:

    We've got more gardening work to do this coming weekend. We'll have to haul another 360 kg or so of gravel ... kind of guessed the quantity wrong. Plus I've seen another whole area I need to clear of weeds. I may want to plant a few more things in a different bed as well.

    Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain again this weekend, but we'll see how we go.

    7: Be creative. Cook, draw, write, paint, make or inspire: Make? Is it time to frame up one of those pictures blocking the way to the sewing machine?
    8: Plan a new idea or activity you want to try out this week:

    Back to September range of 141.1 from Halloween’s 145.1. Was typing “One foot in front of the other” but my fingers typed “one FOOD in front of the other…” so will go with it and try to put the veggies and protein in front of the sugary, starchy and salty.

    Heather what are ‘dry coats’ ? “Break a leg” ;)
    Allie no heat in the bedroom and 64 in the rest of the house? You are made of stern stuff! [brr]
    Buff raking in the garden? Isn’t there snow in WI?
    Barbie yes we love our rural home. Don’t mind that we have to go 30 miles south for WalMart. Just wish a few more medical practitioners would fall in love with our coast and move here. Our opthamologist retired and could not find anyone to take over his practice. Nearest opthamologist is 2.5 hrs north or 3 hrs east.
    Kay :laughing: Gonna have to find another way to say I’m tired!
    Katla Sorry to confuse. We do have Fred Meyers here and I get my prescriptions there with no problem. It’s just Joe. He doesn’t like to go into Freddie’s, so crowded, so many unmasked and ignoring the “stand here” signs. He liked Bi-Mart, could get in early and right out. His prescriptions are now at Freddie’s in town. When I research next year’s Part D I’ll see if the Corner Drug in Gold Beach is affordable for him. He’d rather drive 25 miles North (or 30 miles south and pay the sales tax), so hope the cost differential is small.
    Karen what a beautiful home. Have you already moved into your new situation? ((hugs))
    Julie I lived in the Bay Area for decades and never heard the term “king tide” until moving to Oregon. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/kingtide.html
    Lisa how are you going to listen to Heather’s interview live? When I go to BBC either from my laptop or the BBC Sounds app on my phone it tells me “This programme will be available shortly after broadcast.” That’s ok by me, means I won’t have to get up at 0h dark thirty. ;)
    Pip congratulations. How do you like your new shoes?
    Michele :cry: hope you had a backup.
    Welcome @southernmom3! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale? Some here don’t do the “friend” thing, but connect on this thread, lots of wisdom, support and some humor here.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Heather-
    No worries, I would have been up anyway. Pre-recorded is good, as they can scrub any flubs. Not that you will, of course. Enjoy yourself! I look forward to hearing the recording.
    :smile:

    I went here: https://radio-live-uk.com/bbc-sussex. Seems to cover all the radio stations in the UK. Don't know how much delay there is, but it's kind of a moot point anyway since they decided to prerecord Heather's interview.

    At 2pm EST today, we will have a conference call with our realtors concerning the offers on the house.

    There was a young couple with small children I would have given preference to, even with a lower offer, but they didn't make an offer.

    We had told our agents to keep an eye out for them, but we think because they would have had to sell their home to be able to buy this house they decided not to make an offer.

    It would have been perfect for them.

    I am a little sad.

    Now I guess we will just be mercenary and take the most attractive offer.

    Makes it easier, I suppose.

    Not as feel-good, though.

    Hugs to all!

    Thanks for the nice comments about the house, and the good wishes.

    (((Pip - Congrats!)))

    I actually had a chance to do some colouring and to play the piano this evening. :)

    I'm working on Silent Night ... with both hands. Maybe I'll get it by Christmas. :grin:
