It's been another busy few days. Jason sold his old black Oldsmobile. He had been trying to sell it in early Summer, but when no one bought it, he took it as a sign that he should keep it. Cars are his passion. But when a young man surprised us the other day and wanted to buy it, Jason caved and took the money. He says that since we don't drive it, it would have just rotted sitting there. He wants it to go out in a blaze of glory.

We showed the trailer to a local woman earlier in the week and have a older couple coming from town to look at it tonight. I find it so hard to be optimistic without getting my hopes up. After the last couple fell through, I had pretty much accepted that we'd be here for another winter. Which is really ok, we will just try again in the Spring. But now I can't help but start to think again about being in our new home for Christmas, and how exciting that would be.

I babysat for Liane on Friday. Her son Brett is the same age as Jules and Samuel. She had a meeting and had to do some grocery shopping, etc... Her baby is six weeks old and is going through that growth spurt where all they want to do is eat all the time, so he kinda slowed her down. It ended up that Brett was here for nine hours!! His Dad had called and even dropped in to pick him up, but Brett didn't want to leave. He was having way too much fun. I didn't mind because Brett is really good and the kids loved having him here. It's my first experience hosting the "play date". I know as the kids are getting older, that we will start to have them much more often.

Last night Mom had a pot luck supper for Jessica. It was her thirteenth Birthday. Mom has babysat her since Jessica was a baby. We all played some games and had a campfire. It was nice. And today at around 11:00am, Mom is having a big brunch. Pancakes, sausages, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, etc..... With all the food we had yesterday, I think we will be eating left-overs for a week! Then we are taking the kids to Deanna's Birthday party from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. She is two years old. They are having it at the Blackville Park, so it should be lots of fun for the kids. More food!! And lastly, it will be time to come home and tidy up the house for the couple who are coming to see the trailer at 7:00pm. Like I said....Busy! Busy! Busy!
