Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    GM~

    Contract ratified and we are, fingers crossed, scheduled to close on 12/23. Buyers requested to come by today and bring their kids/grandkids that live nearby to tour the property and look at our home once again. I prepared a nice binder of all the mechanicals and systems along with "how-to" to reprogram locks; cameras; lighting; HVAC controls etc.

    In the event we cannot rent back, we found a Hilton Garden Inn about 5 miles from here that will work in the interim. Pet friendly, mini kitchen, 2 bathrooms, separate sitting/bedrooms. Hoping rent back is approved for a couple months.

    Finished Season One of Landman. Still don't think it was better than Yellowstone.

    Windy here today.

    Cheers,

    Skipper

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Really glad you have that accepted offer, Skip.

    The bazaar went very well. We beat our record for sales - and I got to spend a lot of time talking to people about woodturning.

    Staying home from church, today. We have a lot to do before we leave for Las Vegas tomorrow.

    Mornin' BBB

    Good for you, Skip!

    Busy morning meeting potential puppy buyer, a lady veterinarian that just lost her springer. Hope to do a little hunting this afternoon before coming home to cook for the week.

    Booming thunder last night with the strikes being pretty close. Thankfully we did not lose power.

    I evidently misunderstood, Steph. It makes a lot more sense that you are cruising to Chili.

    Dennis, you've been to Austin, MN?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    Huzzah for a locked contract, Skip! Leave some beer and cookies for their visit to grease the wheels of conversation about the rent-back.

    9 days until we leave for our trip, so at some point I'm going to get dragged shopping for all the things that we suddenly can't go without.

    Good Morning,

    Glad real estate transactions are working out!

    Going to youngest DGS family birthday party today, will miss church

    Record sales at bazaar are great, glad you got to talk shop.

    You know the ladies have to have proper clothing for a trip; someone's third cousin could have seen them in what they have. I'm thankful DW hates to shop.

    Good afternoon BBB Friends.

    • Quoting our friend Sam, "I've been churched and schooled."
    • Glad the sale went well Dave. It's always fun talking about something you enjoy with others.
    • Happiness is a Sold sign. Real happiness is a successful closing.
    • I've been to Austin, and I've been to MN, but I've never been to Austin, MN. But now that I know the Spam Museum is there, I have a reason to go.
    • Preparing for a trip. We are actively avoiding any preparation to ensure maximum stress at the last moment. 😒

    Happy for you sellers! Be it wood pieces, homes, puppies etc!

    Im trying to give away free, the treadmill I got for $25 five years ago. I need the room. I need the exercise more. But I just don't use it!

    We had a wonderful Sat with the bigs and littles kicking off the start to the holidays! Starting new traditions! My dgs said his fav part of parade was all the fire trucks!

    I started to sort through tubs in the basement today. Clutter clean out! I got a toss, donate, keep area set up. I dumped a lot of stuff before moving in here 9yrs ago. Now its piling up a bit again, uugghh. Im going through seasonal decor items, checking lights too and dug out an outdoor wreath for dh's shed, that he outlined with leds. Its bright, but looks great! We will decorate the front of house bit by bit. It's early, but weather is ideal this week.

    Happy vacations coming up to all you travelers!

    Im the hi ho hi ho its off to Grammys house we go....And I love having everyone here to make memories with our grandkids!

    Landman is on here now, but Im not all that interested. I may watch the American Revolution on PBS at 7p?

    Have a good night BBB
