We got a call Saturday afternoon from the realtor who brought the buyer thru on Friday that she wanted to come for a second look on Sunday between 3:30 & 4:30 (with her uncle who works in construction). Chris had the idea to play a movie in our downstairs theatre!!! We selected "Spiderman" b/c we were told the buyer has 2 teenage sons (don't know if they were coming with her or not, but thought it was a good choice).
We decided to head to a local Starbucks to take advantage of the last day of "buy one holiday drink get one free" (mmmmmm...gingerbread latte!). We were going to just pop in for our drinks and run to Costco to grab a few items. Plans changed, tho, when we were able to meet up with our friends for a much overdue chat! We thought we were meeting with Kim & one or both of her boys ... much to our surprise it was both boys AND her hubby, Paul! Paul drives a truck and we rarely get to see him. We spent a delightful almost 2 hours talking.
Unfortunately, while the buyer loved our house the best, she has decided to look for something bigger.
No big deal! We will enjoy our holiday season without the stresses of counter-offers, closings, packing and finding a rental. It will happen at just the right time! We can feel it!!!
Chris is off work today thru Friday, while I am off Thursday & Friday. He is at home hanging our outdoor Christmas decorations; taking advantage of the mild weather.
Our 19th anniversary is Friday & we plan to celebrate low-key. Our New Orleans trip was sort of our gift to one another. We will head into Chicago to see the holiday lights & decorations, stop in Shedd Aquarium (we are members) and take in the ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo for the first time.
This weekend will also find us putting up our indoor Christmas decorations ... or, at least, getting started. Plus, we need to hang our window plastic ~~ to help insulate a bit from the winter winds!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! May you be grateful for the simple pleasures in life! May your cup overflow! Wishing you abundance in all that you seek!
