We just put up a “For Sale by Owner” sign in front of our house. We are planning to leave it there until shortly after the Fourth of July with the hope of selling the house without paying a big commission. There are a number of houses for sale in our neighborhood, so we might have a small chance of doing that. I made up a nice flyer that Lorena will copy. We are selling the house for $229,950. I am hoping that will move the house fairly rapidly.
Tonight I am going to start digging out around the services in the yard so we can put down barkdust on Sarturday. Hopefully, Dad will be able to come and pour the concrete to finish the patio. We are really hoping to avoid putting up a fence before we sell the house. We will have to see what happens.
I think I have finally gotten my weight down below 190 lbs. I need to keep banging away at it. The nights when I both work on the yard and spend at least 35 minutes on the Nordic Track are the nights that go best for me. While I exercised last night, we all listened to an audio cassette version of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkein. It was great and we will keep doing that until we get through the book.
The kids are still doing great in swimming lessons. Kelly is going to go visit her old friend, Vicky from the Emmaus Christian school kindergarten today. She will go over to Vicky’s house for an hour after her swimming class. She is very much looking forward to it.
I was hoping to spend more time doing stuff with the kids this summer, but it does not look like that is going to happen with the move going on. I really hope we can sell the house quickly so we can get moved to Seattle and get our homeschool started in a reasonable way.
