I'm still glowing tonight about the house sale today. Last year, I spent a couple weeks doing some clean up with the hopes I could sell it myself. I took a break to go help my mother in Texas for a week or so and during that time there were many families in our community who were flooded out of their homes. So we offered it to some friends for a low rent instead of putting it up for sale. The renter's home is now habitable so I again got ready to sell it myself. However, I'm not in as good shape this year after my accident and I was concerned as to whether I was up to the challenge. I was really dreading lying on the floor to paint baseboards....they did need it. So it was a real blessing to have this over and done with so easily. Someone was looking out for me!!! I should say "us" since DH has provided the funding all these years, but other than that, he's been pretty much hands off for the maintenance, etc. The house was my responsibility. So we lucked out! The buyer bought it for his son who will be going to medical school in the fall.....the house is about 2 blocks from the medical campus. (That's why I thought I might be able to sell it myself.)
The sweepstakes win was a huge surprise. I didn't even remember entering when they called. But on further reflection I remembered a quilter Facebook friend commenting that she had bought an Accuquilt "Go" cutter. So I went to the website to see what it was. They were the ones sponsoring the drawing and that's where I entered. The taping will be in Boulder instead of La Vieta where Ricky lives and they have previously taped their shows. I'm really curious as to who the guests will be!
