We are home from the lake. It seems like we have been on a treadmill all weekend. We just aren't used to young children any more! On top of playing with them, we were getting everything sorted out and settled about selling the place. Finally David and Gail got together this evening and selected a Realtor, and decided on an asking price. Most of the business will be by e-mail and fax, but we may have to go down again to sign things and hire a lawyer. The Realtor will be setting up a website for the place, once he has been able to take measurements of the rooms etc. We also had to arrange to have the septic tank drained, something that probably hasn't been done in 30-40 years. We had hoped that they might also be able to pump out the outhouse. They asked us to keep putting water in it, as the more liquid the contents are the easier it is to pump out. However, the ground is so sandy that the water just collapsed the walls of the excavated hole, and now it is almost full of sand! So it will probably have to be moved, rather than cleaned out.
Now we are both exhausted and ready for a good sleep on our own bed. I have a lot to be grateful for this weekend. Grandchildren, and teaching them to work with polymer clay and play cribbage. A husband to looks after packing the car( I am very grateful for that), but I'm less grateful that one of the drugs I take makes me so sensitive to the sun, that I end up feeling ill after as little as 10 minutes of exposure. ( Great excuse for not putting on a bathing suit, though.)
