Weather, Work and Whatever

The weather is warming up again -- Monday's high was 69.8 here and Saturday's was 90.5. Thursday I was down in Phoenix for my last CLIA training class for my ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor) and it was 94 that day down there. It is still cooling off at night -- great for us -- we open up the windows and door and get our room cooled back down.

Work is going well. The move to the new office got put off once again -- now they are predicting the first week of June. At least this time, the contractors have actually started doing some work in the new building. Still not really busy -- have those sporadic days, but nothing like "busy season" back in Michigan yet.

Saturday, May 5th is the BIG DAY! Our house/land auction in Michigan. Our auctioneer called last week to ask for some copies of something and mentioned one or two serious contenders have already talked to their banks about financing. Woo Hoo! One of the people wants to sweeten his offer to have us give up what mineral rights we do own on the property. Once we sat down and figured what we get per year -- that is a lot to lose over our lifetime. I don't think this guy can sweeten the pot that much! We are just going to be happy to get the mortgage paid off, the money paid and due to the auctioneer, and all the other things involved in selling land. If we make some money after that ... great, but if not, still ... great. That is the biggest cloud still hanging over us.

We will be flying in late Thursday night and spend most (if not all) of Friday cleaning up the house and surrounding area. When we peeked in last time we were in town, the dead ladybugs were outnumbering the dust bunnies! We have to run the generator and get a good charge on that and then start with the vacuuming and other cleaning touch ups. Hopefully we have some time to work outside and kinda spruce up the areas around the garage, the house and the power shed. (All are welcome to come help!)
