Puppies began selling on the 27th, and there are only 2 left. We are hoping they find a good home soon. The eight we sold went pretty fast and only one person tried negotiating us down, so Elly made a fair amount of money this time around, even if we don't make much on these last two. It will help her with her expenses for quite a while.
Oh - such a lot to do around here. We are thinking of getting a professional appraisal on our home. Then we'll know once and for all what it really is worth, and then we can go from there. We've had agents who wanted to list it for more than I thought it was worth, a few who want to sell it for a lot less than we think it's worth, and few in the middle. Perhaps we aren't supposed to sell it after all. We've thought about just buying land ... who knows!
I don't know what to do about all the stuff we've packed away everywhere....part of me thinks we ought to dig it all back out this fall and go through it....give some away, sell some on ebay. Most of it is going to be in decent condition since we sorted stuff once before we even packed it up!
In the meantime, book sales have been on the up around here! I advertised in Homeschool Enrichment and I started selling stuff on ebay again, and I'm drawing some new business. That's pretty exciting!
CJ has been keeping very busy with lawn jobs. Yesterday he helped run barbed wire for a new fence. He's been blessed to find several people within 6 miles of the house who want him to do work for them.
Susan is still engaged, for all you who might be wondering. And the date is still set for December 14. What she's doing with the trailer remains to be seen. She's got a couple feelers out, letting people know that it will be available for sale soon. I don't know where she's going to put all her stuff though!
I've got a ton of stuff to do, and I'm highly unmotivated - why does that happen that way? I need motivation! But it's so much more fun to sit here and type......
