Brrrr, who turned the heat off outside. Guess mom nature's furnace gave out
She's gotta get a new one. Heck, it's even snowing in the western U.P. I understand. Oh well, it's May in MI as O'Sharon said same for PA too. I don't have anything planted to don't care, but hard for farmers and those who may have planted sensitive plants. My two pots are keeping comfty in my garage for a couple of days.The final chapter of the saga of two houses was closed yesterday. My agent came over and we reviewed the inspectors report one more time. He having had his own Contractor and Property Management business, was able to estimate the cost of the repairs and said it looks like at least $20-30,000 in repairs needed at the lake house. Also said from looking at the pictures, that the septic tank was going to need replacing as well. So we filed a Mutual Release form and I am now done with that place. Will be getting my earnest money back. I'm sure the owner is very disappointed, but..... So will see where I go from here. Might make an offer on house next door but can't do anything till after my inspection on Monday and the buyers release the inspection contingency. No problem. Hey, I can always become a full timer for awhile as I said
So today I think is going to be a relaxing day although I might give this place a good cleaning in prep for Monday's inspection. I walked around outside yesterday, checking the house over, found one corner of one of my shutters was loose so fastened that down. Now will double check inside as well. Agent said my house is in good shape, so should be no problem. Also said inspector is not going to check my septic system since I had it cleaned and inspected last fall.
Enjoyed the horse stories yesterday. I too used to ride a lot when I was growing up and like all kids, wished for my own horse. There was a riding stable a few miles from here and when we used to come up here on weekends, dad would take me over there, so I could go on the trail rides.
Decided I am not cancelling out on my June camping reservations till I see what pans out with all this house business. If I should wind up buying the house next door, it won't take much to move over there from here. So maybe not need much time to vacate here. Neighbor is leaving on June 14th and my reservations are for June 19-21. Shall see. Could be tight or maybe not, who knows, plus I have 21 days to vacate anyway. Right now, hard to get excited about camping with possible snow flakes on the forecast
Enouht jabbering here. Starting to ramble on about nothing. So all I can say is Have a Nice Day.
and The William too!
I have so much to pick up and take to burn pile, well it is out back and no way am I going to walk back there. Have trees to trim, one wants to rub my rv when I back out, couldn't do it, because what would I do with the mess from it. Well, called neighbor and left a msg and here is young guy with tractor, hopefully fixing one problem back there. They only mow some of the front , when I am gone and back needs to be done too each time. Hard to figure how to pay, for only part of a job, and then I have to pay bigger for tractor use, so puzzling over that while he works and hope the sister gets over with the lawn mower, half way to knees in front now too. A mess and I , who used to keep all this stuff up have no mower or means or able to do so much of this anymore. Disheartening, to say the least. 
(should teach me not to try to work on Saturdays) - I'm hoping fast action saved it from major damage. Although it's functioning & passed all the diagnostics, Dell still wants me to send it in to be looked at (thankful for complete care
