Done

Andi is out of the Army and on July 30th one of those cross country moving companies came and packed up all of her stuff. It will be here soon and she has to get a storage unit to put it in. I’d have her put it here but I don’t really have all that much room now.

Right now she’s up in Pennsylvania with her boyfriend but she says that she’s miserable and wants to come home. I don’t know if it’s because it’s getting close to time for the baby to come and she wants to be with family or what. It sure wouldn’t hurt my feelings if she wanted to come stay with me. I miss her even though she’s only about 4 hours away.

Here are some things you should do before you leave for vacation.

1. get a trusted friend or family member to keep an eye on your house
2. if you have pets either take them with you or have them boarded at a friend, family member’s house or a kennel.
3. stop your newspaper delivery.
4. put a hold on mail delivery.
5. make sure your ademco alarm system is in good working order.
6. make sure all your doors and windows are locked when you leave.
7. put your lights on timers so it looks like someone is home.

If you do these things you should have one less thing to worry about while you’re away.

House help

I miss the house we used to have. It had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great kitchen, living room and dining room. We added on a 2 car garage and later added a 1 bedroom, 1 bath in law apartment on the back. The livingroom/great room area and master bedroom and bath had cathedral ceilings with skylights in the living room and kitchen.

We ran into financial problems and lost the house. I really wish we had looked into getting some foreclosure help before that happened. We didn’t do that and just let them take it. That began the condo renting cycle. We really want to try to get another house. Hubby really misses having a garage to tinker around in and I really miss having my own home. I miss being able to paint and do what I want with my home. I miss the peace and quiet we had at our old home. Some day… some day….
