Well, today's the day Willey is to decide which home he will buy & pay
with cash. Rosie will call us when she hears from Willey.
Just after breakfast, Kathy flushes our brown bathroom toilet & the lever
inside the tank that connects to the chain & raises the flush
ball....breaks. Hmmm, we can't have that...so we plan on a trip into town
this morning.
But first, I type 4 different ads & attach to 4 different pics to
advertize more things we have for sale. So our first stop is at Kinkos
where we make color copies of these items to post throughout the Alaska
Clubs in town. Drop Kathy off at the Sears Carrs store while I make stops
at: Alaska Club West; Home Depot; Central Heating & Cooling; Fire &
Fasteners; Alaska Club Midtown; pick up Kathy & stop at Alaska Club East,
then back to the house.
We have one phone message on our recorder...from Rosie. We brace
ourselves....she starts out by saying: " Monte & Kathy this is Rosie...I'm
sorry, I'm so sorry. Willey just called & told me he's going to pick the
other property. I really really sorry, I really thought he was going to
buy yours. It's a much better deal...but he gets to pick & choose what he
wants.."
And so that's the story of how we " almost " sold our house this summer.
Naturally we were a little disappointed as we were both looking forward to
starting our full time gypsy lifestyle....but that's on hold for the time
being. Now our plans will automatically shift to " plan B!"
I spray weed-B-gon on all areas of our lawn. The East side is looking the
best but West & North need more attention. As I am doing this, rain clouds
are looming from the Northeast. Ha, I thought, Mother Nature is trying to
discourage me...I'll do it anyway. About 2 hrs later....heavy rain for 10
min...I can't believe it! The weed-B-gon advertizes the killing power is
good if no rain for 2 hrs. Ok, this will be a test.
Gene Lutts arrives for Dinner with us: 6:50 pm. Fresh Salmon from Kevin,
broccoli, toast & fresh salad.
Evening time: we kibitz with Gene who lives in Florida but visits
Anchorage every summer to beat the heat. Sounds good to me. Lights out:
11:44 pm
