I'm back

I looked at my latest post and realized that it was in September. I've been very busy! The week before going to Oregon I was closing out several jobs and trying to make sure that my clients were taken care of and then we set up for the Parade of Homes. I left the Parade to go to the airport in Nashville. But we had a wonderful time In Oregon.

The Parade house didn't get decked out as much as I would have liked but it looked good. The house showed great. The builder, Harris Construction, I believe got lots of work off of the house. I worked the last day of the show which was yesterday and I believe I got some good leads for other work. I really like doing open houses like that. I enjoy talking with people very much.

The trip to Oregon was a welcome vacation for both husband and me. We were would up so tight when we got on that airplane. The time went too fast. We went to Mount St. Helens and got some awesome pictures as well as shooting our way through the area. The Sea Lions were on the dock. Evidently the ones that didn't get mates come up to Astoria and hang out for a while. My daughter's house has an incredible view of the bay and she has a forest in her front yard. The house was old but very charming.

Our dog was glad to see us when we drove up five hours later than originally scheduled from our flight. She was filthy from being outside so much so Sunday morning the first thing we did was give her a bath and comb her out. Daughter thankfully vacuumed the house for us before we returned. She has a long haired cat that has been declawed so if anyone wants a cat we have one. I am allergic to cats so it has to find a home soon.

After being in the cold and wet Northwest, we came home to the dusty and warm Southeast again. Lord we need rain. I don't know how any of the plants are making it.

I have lots to do today to include getting ready for another eight week school session in which I am teaching two classes, one I haven't taught before so I had better get busy.
