This Old House

Hank and I made the decision last week to get our house ready to sell. So we made a list of things we need to do. It's full of the little things that we keep meaning to do, but never get to. So we started on the list today. We painted some outside trim that had been overlooked by the builder years ago. Hank caulked up some cracks from the house settling. He fixed our back storm door. He worked on the tracks of two big drawers we have that hold tupperware. And he patched some places in the wall that the boys have lovingly christened. I also tried to get some of Bryant's artwork off the doors, with little success. And I tried to scrub at our driveway where we have some oil leak spots. It looks a little better, but I think we need a pressure washer to really see a difference.

I also made time today to go and see a friend of mine at Brookwood. She had just had a little girl named Madeline Claire. She is so tiny and precious! She had so much hair she was already wearing a bow! I took Tres with me, cause he wanted to see what a baby sister looked like! He was quiet and sweet and never once touched the baby. I wish I had remembered my camera! Oh, well.

Now, I'm bone tired and ready for my boys to drop so I can. Oh! And I signed up for Freecycle. I gave away some VHS tapes and some clothes. It felt very liberating!
