The sign is coming down.....

I've made a big decision.  I'm taking my house off the market.  There isn't anyone really interested and I worry all the time about someone wanting to see it and it being a wreck.  This just does not appear to be the right time.  It's very strange that I can't get the sign to stay in the ground.  Every time I go out, it's fallen down.  It kind of seems like a it's trying to tell me something.  So my realtor is coming tomorrow to remove it.

I'm hanging some of my pictures, putting the table back in the middle of the kitchen & getting my Christmas decorations out of storage.  The g'kids can come over and make a mess without me worrying about it.  Maybe sometime soon the economy will improve and I'll try selling it again.  Next time, I think I'll try selling it on my own.  I don't see that my realtor did anything but list it.  He never showed it, never followed up with anyone who viewed it.  Never even talked to the other realtors.  I can do better then that.

I'm planning a shower for my friend Cathy's daughter-in-law for Dec. 3.  Jenny and Drey are expecting in January.  My plan is to have the house decorated for Christmas by then.  It will be so nice to have it all done early and maybe be able to enjoy it a little.  Sister Judy is helping me and we have the menu planned and invitations ordered.  Are we good or what?

Tomorrow is going to be spent putting new merchandise in Leola's.  Had a friend call and wanted to sell a bunch of stuff.  It may be after open house but there's lots of time for people to shop.  Sometimes we spend so much time and effort on open house that we lose sight of all that time left before Christmas.  This is such an important time for most retailers and especially small businesses.

Guess I'd better get busy marking merchandise.
