Okay, well time to change gears on the whining channel -- out the whines about cleaning and waiting for buyers, in the whines about finding a house.
But really . . .
We made an offer ( or David made the offer) on Friday/Saturday on the house that he liked in Madision. It was a project house but neighborhood was good, house had potential, yada, yada, yada, perfect. The seller in Germany who had trouble opening her email took the other offer. this morning (it was almost evening in Germany) We suspect that the other buyer has a loose timetable and gave her all the time she needed. We did need to get in there.
So we are bummed out today.
Nothing else new has come on the Madison market that is within our favorite neighborhoods and sort of within our price range. IT has been more than a week. I should work out of this slump before I drive up at the end of the week.
We took the day very slow and let Julia play with her clay as long as she wanted. She is still making dinosaurs, with a couple of sea creatures thrown in. The newest favorite is walruses -- we have three giants at the zoo. She makes nests and eggs for the dinos, but today she was making chairs and couches. Right now, she is making a doctor for the baby elephant who is on a couch in the doctor's office and playing with a duck. Sometimes I wonder if she will ever really click in school, but I am sure about about her imagination.
We went to an asian restaurant for lunch and Julia inhalled my seaweed salad, her udon noodle soup, and David's rice. She does love when I feed her with chopsticks. I forget about that at home. Green tea too, even though she doesn't like it when I make it at home.
Cheshire comes home tonight. We've already talked to her by phone from the Boston airport. We pick her up at 8:30. I really can't wait.
