Putting a house on the market with 3 children is quite a task! We placed the For Sale By Owner sign in our yard several weeks ago due to the peer pressure of our home group. It was good to see it up. Chris & I continued to clean out closets, go through boxes in the garage and basement, and have made a huge pile to donate to King's Ranch. Knowing that we must sell our house regardless of when we move to Mentone has motivated us to continue the work. We even packed up Christmas decorations, winter clothes, and other things not needed now and moved them to our future home on Ponderosa's camp property.
We have gotten a few inquiring calls about the house and that is a feat within itself. Finally a call came that someone wanted to see the house. Oh wow, all the packing, sorting, and piling had to cease so the cleaning and straightening could be done. Chris and I worked tirelessly through the afternoon, evening, and on through the next morning. By nonn on Saturday, it smelled wonderful and everything was put away nicely. The realtor showed up with the man and they walked through the house in 12 minutes!!! Wow, all that work for 12 minutes. With 8 houses on their agenda and this was the first time they had been out together, I guess that is typical. Not sure if I can work this much for 12 minutes of walking through, but I guess that is just part of it.
At least the house is clean, King's Ranch will be getting a HUGE donation of various clothes, household items, and such, and our basement is getting cleaned out slowly but surely. There is good in everything and I'm thankful for a nap in a clean home. God's timing is always perfect and it will be in this case too. May the perfect family walk through here and know it is home.
