HI ALL..I'm Here!!

17 years ago

Hi everyone, I'm back online. I've been here since last Tues.. I've been so busy in many different directions. Went to the Beach (Daytona) on Sunday... Yes !! We took some time to enjoy the warm sunshine 80 degrees! It was so nice to just sit all day and enjoy the warm sun. However, practically everyday, we've been very busy dismanteling the Condo. We've been gathering up stuff and donating so many boxes of things to Goodwill. Don't you think after I brought a second car load of stuff in today...I went into the store to look around, and DH caught me 'fondling' some really pretty dishes! He couldn't believe I was looking to buy them. He reminded me that when we return home, we will probably not have enough room in the car, with all the stuff I'm keeping. It was so hard to give them up. sigh...

We will try to sell all the furniture or donate it to Goodwill. Then we'll have an agent handle renting it. I hope we can.. We would love to sell it..but there are so many places on the market just sitting and the values have gone down.

DD, I was thinking of you... It's 'Bike Week' here..and the

Harleys are out by the Thousands!! We always enjoy that, and it's some sight to see.

Well, I'll try to catch up here and there on what everyone's been up to. Miss you all.

Jane,
DH and I have been looking for a place in the Flagler-Daytona area to go to this summer. Are you listing your place with a realtor? I have pulled up photos of some and inquired only to be told that the photos shown are "representative" of the place and not the actual one. I am really adament about knowing exactly what we are getting if we do in fact rent a place. Do you know of any around your place that are "good" rentals? We would like a couple of weeks and might even consider a month.

It's good to have you back! It sounds as if it was a very productive trip. Florida's always a nice respite after a couple months of Winter. We're heading down there ourselves for Easter, but over north of Tampa on the Gulf to visit my parents. I'm glad to hear that the weather was nice for your trip. I hope ours will be, too! Good luck with your condo renting.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing Kathleen just said--"don't give away any dishes!". Sorry you are having to do so much work, but glad you took time out to enjoy the beach.

I think everyone is concerned about the property values declining so much. If you can rent it out for awhile, hopefully they will go up again then you can sell.

Goodness, Kathleen, I was just feeling sorry for my brothers/sisters in Missouri with their 4 to 6 inches more of snow. You got 15! Time to go into hibernation until it's all gone, huh?

Ha! I was worrying about the same thing Kathleen and Luvs were! Don't give the dishes away!!! I laughed out loud when I saw their posts!
We got a foot of snow from the same storm that moved on up and dumped Kathleen's on her. I'm not sick of it yet, though. We were trying to remember when we had that much snow at one time. Our baby is 15 and we realized that it's been since before he was born! Took lots of pics of him, his dog, and the DGSs playing in it.

Glad you are back online Jane and that you had a productive time...sounds very tiring! No wonder you were "fondling" dishes, you were probably going into withdrawals! LOL!
Funny you mention Bike Week there in Daytona - never been there but have heard lots about it. We are planning to go to Sturgis, South Dakota (BIG bike party) this year for the first time. Maybe Daytona one year after that, who knows!

Kathleen, still very winter-y here too! Went skiing after work today ...if it's not going to act like spring, I might as well think winter!

I would love to visit the Goodwill where all the donations are going. I could buy up your things and take pictures of them all being repurposed!

Thanks for the Warm Greetings everyone.

You Guys are too funny... Don't Get Rid Of The Dishes!!! DH got a real laugh over that.
I'm hanging on to one set which is going to DD. As far as the other set, they're too FL looking..(palm print). I didn't have too many dishes here..ate out mostly...hehehe.

I feel for all of you who got socked with all that snow. I've been keeping up with the weather back home, thank goodness we left last week instead of this. I hear we got a walloping 15" too..and to think I've been complaining that it's 'chilly' here! So far, we've only had one really warm day. It's been mostly in the low 50's, and at night, in the 40's.

PD...that would be funny you taking pictures of my things from Goodwill..I would have loved to see them 'live on' somewhere else. It's funny though, a couple of the women who worked there, kept raving over how nice some of the things were. I'll bet some items don't make it onto the shelves, for sale..lol

Well...I still have to line someone up for the furniture.
Tomorrow is another busy day.
Stay warm...talk to you all again...

Hi Jane. You've sure had a lot of work to get thru. And like the others, I would love to have shopped at the GW you donated to. Bet its going to be hard to leave the beach and go back to that snow.
Have a safe trip home and check in soon as you can.
