Home sweet home....
I've been back home since last Tuesday. Our Memorial weekend was really good. I had my little garage sale and only made $75....but I was only open for one full day on Thursday, 1/2 a day on Friday because I was out doing garage saling myself, and I opened a couple hours on Saturday. The last 45 mins of my sale I was giving most of my stuff away....FREE STUFF!, and I got rid of most of it. I took what was left up to the thrift store in town. My neighbors were open the full 3 days and only made $200. It was really slow most of the time because the weather was nice and everybody was at the beach.
And that's what I did Sunday.....my son got his jetski out of the my garage and got it in the water so we spent most of the day on the beach. My middle son and his girlfriend didn't come up.....we were disappointed. He said maybe another time.
Let's see...what else did we do.....we all went out to dinner Saturday night and grilled on Sunday. Hubby and I went up to the Eagles a couple of nights. I planted 3 flats of flowers in my garden. Then mainly we did some work at the condo after our son and his girlfriend left. Hubby put a new faucet on the sink in the bathroom. He also put in a ceiling fan and horizontal blinds in the living room. I stripped off all the wallpaper in the bathroom. Right now, I have a guy working in the bathroom, patching and painting the walls and ceiling. It should be done by the time we get back up there this weekend.

It doesn't look like my youngest son is going to get that house he had put a bid on a few months ago. It has been pending waiting for the approval for the short sale from the bank. Well, the bank finally decided that it wanted much more money. It will not agree to my son's offer, which was actually the asking price that the realtor had put on it in the first place. The owner is steaming mad. He threatened the bank that he will trash the place and let it go into foreclosure!...then it won't be worth anything. I'm sure he won't, but he was mad at the bank. He wants to get the house sold and move to New York.
So anyway, he is looking at other houses again. He found a couple more that they both like, one in particular. So tonight hubby and I went with him to see them. They are both nice. I wish we could sell our own house and buy the smaller 3 bedroom one...it would be perfect for us! So he wants to put an offer in on the other bigger 4 bedroom house. It is bank owned and apparently there is already one offer on it but they are still accepting more offers. So it will be another waiting game.

My poor Mini Sue has Fleas!! And she is scratching and driving herself and me crazy. I'm going to go to the vet tomorrow and get her some of that flea stuff to put on her neck....and I'll do Keno too cause I'm sure he has a few of his own!
We, or maybe just I alone, are going to go up to Caseville this weekend for the Blues Festival that our condo association has every year out on the lawn by the lake. It's usually held the first weekend of June but it has been moved to the middle of the month. Last year it was freezing cold and I couldn't even go outside to listen to the music. I had to sit in the condo with the door open to hear it. So I'm hoping it is much nicer this time. They usually have 3 bands play. There is a tent set up with tables and a bar; but, of course, the condo owners can hear the music without having to pay for a ticket to get into the tent....We just bring our chairs out with our coolers and sit on the grass and get a free show!!
It'll be a short trip....probably back home by Monday.

You are so lucky to have a place up north--or have I told you that before? I am way jealous, LOL.
Garage sales always seemed to me, like more work then they were worth.
