Wonderful news about your buyers! I think it really helps when you know they will love your home as you did.

Just posted on TT a photograph taken this morning of my beautiful back yard.

Weather update: The rains have finally left, and my property got 12 inches in 3 days. My pond is huge! Now I'm just waiting for the autumn winds to dry out all the leaves before I attempt to mulch them into bits. It's always something, eh?
Bigger news is that my buyers were in town this week and asked to come over to see the home Tuesday evening at 5:00 pm. I told our common realtor that it was fine as long as she came with them to emcee the visit. The family brought their five children (ages 4 - 11) with them. Immediately upon their arrival I realized that my home sale is COMPLETELY SAFE! All seven family members are besotted with my home. They have so many plans for making it their own that they couldn't stop themselves from chattering about it.
The children went downstairs and picked out all their bedrooms and then reported to the adults about the kinds of beds they were going to put in them. One of the boys shyly if I was going to leave a large faux fur blanket or take it with me. I told him, "No, I'm not going to take it with me, so I will leave it here for you!" He almost cried with joy. :)
What a relief this is for DF and me. We weren't really expecting that the buyers would flake out, but until the deal is done you don't know for sure how it will turn out.
Yesterday, I was pooped from all the home sale and election tensions, and last night I slept 8-9 hours--the most rest I've had in almost 2 weeks. Today I'm going with friends to a bi-annual fashion show that benefits our local university's library fund. That will be great fun. This afternoon if I'm up for it, I may come home, put on my overalls, and see if it's leaf-mulching time yet. BTW, the buyer-husband told me he definitely wants to buy my lawn mower, so that's some easy "found money," and I won't have to look for another buyer.
That's all the news here from Lake Wobegon, which is what I'm also calling the pond right now. Onward and upward!

About 15 years ago, a tornado came right over our home and landed in the field beyond ours about 400 yards away. Then it went over the hill and destroyed two homes less than a mile from ours. We were lucky.
My home here in the Ozarks has three levels, and the bottom level is a walkout on three sides. I've spent quite a bit of time in the shelter down there. But earlier this week (Monday night?) we again had tornado warnings, and I thought to myself, "What are the odds that after all these years of NOT getting blown away I'll get blown away tonight? Pretty low, I'll wager!" I didn't even get out of bed, much less make up a survival kit and scurry down the stairs.

Oh! Well, that's some important information. Thanks. :)

LOL about Kirby's romantic disappointments.

I'm going to have to watch Disclosure. Never heard of it until now. I adore Kevin Kline, no matter what he looks like now (not even sure what he DOES look like now).

Hurrah on the $5,000 found money windfall. I'm totally with you on how to regard it. :)

119.4 - today is injection day. I also have my online meeting with the PA at HenryMeds which they requested likely because I changed states. They service both Florida and Massachusetts but like to have the prescription written for the state where they are shipping it. They gave me the option to purchase 1 year of the product in advance for this shipment (since they may have to stop supplying it after the beginning of December). The price is pretty good, so I took it.
Yesterday was good other than bocce where our team lost both games to the last place team who hadn't won any previously. Seemed nice of us ;)
Today I am going with a friend to the first of three sessions for ladies golf orientation. I thought this would be a good way to get back into it. We have lessons, then eat lunch with the Nine-holders group, which is a bunch of ladies who only play nine holes and are possibly more serious about the camaraderie and the lunch than the golf. Sounds good to me!
DD and Son-in-law arrive just after 9 am tomorrow for the long weekend. I hope the weather cooperates - it has been incredibly humid and windy this week but I think it is supposed to break a bit starting tomorrow.
Have a tee time Thursday!

Though the tornado warning went out on everyone's phones there really wasn't much time to get in a safe place. And they said once you hear the roar it is basically right there. I can't imagine being that close.
