The Periphery of the Mind

Went and spoke with the bank about a loan Friday for a new house. Looks like we can get a $157,000 loan pretty easy, and live in it pretty easy. Provided we sell one of the houses first. Since we didn't have a house sold yet, the one we wanted slipped through our fingers. And I'm okay, since I know we'll find something we like better.

Maryanne got her dress and veil Saturday, and she and her mother really like it. Don't know anything about it other than the veil cost more than the dress. Sounds like they didn't spend much, but I hope she really likes it rather than likes it because it's cheap.

I took Sunday "off" to come home and putter around. I felt bad leaving her to work on her house by herself, but this was the first time I'd been home in days it seemed. She got her mom's boyfriend and one of his buddies to help her put up trim board. With their nailgun and previous experience, it took them no time; I know it would have been a day-long project for the two of us.

Progress is being made, and things are coming together. She'll list the house next Monday no matter what!

And then we get to focus on fixing up mine....
