The old family homestead went on the market today
Our real estate agent has a lockbox thingy and I already got emails about 3 showings -- two tonight, one on Sunday. The listing only went online at MRIS this afternoon. Will probably have more showings on Saturday. Weird to think agents are coming over and showing the house without ever seeing it before.
We put a lot of work into it but didn't ( Read more... ) -
Greetings from Branson, MO!
I don't even know where to start. I tagged this "family" because I feel like I'm digging into my mother's roots.
So, the story begins in Springfield, MO in the late 1930s. My grandfather, Raymond Kennon, was a struggling Ozark artist. My grandmother supported the family by teaching school. Around the corner lived the nephew of Rose O'Neill, who ( Read more... ) -
It's a good old fashioned meme!
Well, I certainly hope I am not mean to vvalkyri (unlike someone who really created some drama on her LJ yesterday!). But she did help us clean up Dad's house last October and I could have been less cranky at the time, although the process of sorting things at Dad's makes me irritable in general.

Happy Birthday to me
I remember the good old days when I'd check LJ for birthday greetings, now it's Facebook.
We had dinner at a new Japanese restaurant in Easton after I renewed my driver's license. Yes, it's been 5 years since we moved to Rock Hall!
Tomorrow I'm going to call in sick out of spite. The young'uns at my agency organized a "morale boosting day" that ( Read more... ) -
That's it. I reached my limit.

Dad's House
I guess it should come as no surprise that Dad is coming up a lot in my dreams these days -- my brother and I are pushing ahead on selling his house. The contractor did the floor refinishing and painted the whole upper level of the house while I was in Alaska. Now we need to clear out the basement. But wow, it's never looked this good since we ( Read more... ) -

No big plans tonight. Not in a celebratory mood. Had a nice dinner at an Irish pub in Annapolis on Friday anyway.

Going Home
Survived the long week. Many emails, texts etc asking if I was OK because of the earthquake. Media kinda trumped it up. :). Still. We had only returned from that region the night before.
I'm at the airport finishing a meal that might have been ill advised at this hour of the morning but I have this irresistible "I'm leaving Japan, don't know when ( Read more... )
