Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 12 Aug 18

When we moved here, I decided that I wanted planters full of red and white geraniums... at last count I think that I had about 15 planters. And I'm pretty sure that I didn't buy any of them thanks to Mother's Day... every year I...

Maybe It Wasn't That Great an Idea

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 11 Aug 18

We had better find something else to do on Sunday because I don't think that anyone is going to be in the mood for packing or much of anything else for our pending move next week. According to the forecast, it's going to be 37 C...

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 9 Aug 18

It's been a horrible summer but at least we can see a light at the end of it. As far as I know, everything that needs falling into place is doing so... but it's been nerve racking. I don't think that I ever want to move ever...

I Have Infected The Entire Family!

That had to be it, because I was fine when I left, but the past few days, my throat has been sore and I feel like I have been run over by a bus. Actually, I'm feeling so lousy that I have already been back to bed for a nap after...

We need to be out of this house by August the 17th which most of the time would seem like ages away, seeing that it's not even the middle of July, but knowing at we won't have a place to live makes it seem a whole lot closer.. Our...

A New Waiting Game

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 9 Jul 18

We were going to fly home next weekend to find a house to buy while we were there, but decided that finding a house over a weekend was asking for trouble. We would not enjoy the looking because of how much stress that we would be...

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 25 Jun 18

So far, weekends are really slow when it comes to showing. It's really different from Ontario or Illinois for that matter. Here, it seems to be Monday to Friday so I guess there is no reason now to go exploring. One of the reasons...

Hubby and daughter says that there could be a ton of reasons why we haven't heard anything. Have to admit that I have no patience... even though I have been working on it. But with me, when I decide that I want something... as in...

How Long Does It Take To Decide?

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 23 Jun 18

A few messages back, I was complaining about the fact that we might not ever sell this house because our showings had dried up! Well, apparently my lack of patience has come into play and I really need to learn to control them!...
