Our weather has been cold and rainy......wind too...nice day to stay inside...yesterday we had 3 jobs in San Diego county during the downpour.....rather miserable as the first job was doing a property with two houses...with the wind blowing and rain pouring down..we both got a little chilled.......had to be careful also not getting any water or mud on the new carpeting....this was an escrow re key...the worst part was it was in a bad area of town ( Oceanside, Holly and Bush Sts. you readers who are familiar with the area know what I mean ) and the locks weren't very good.....hopefully the new owner will replace them. It took us close to two hours to finish and then we were off to the second job which wasn't near as bad...took us just 30 minutes to finish...what a difference good locks make!
The third job was a cash for keys...one of the most dirtiest houses I've ever been in....holes in walls, bad smells, stained carpeting, and the granite countertops were caked with dirt......a broken window also...and yet the old homeowner got cash. We had to replace several locks as the old ones were not working at all....the wind blowing through the house was so cold...
needless to say, we were glad to be finished and went inside Mickey D's for lunch and got warm. We enjoyed listening on the way back home to a reading of Robert Tanenbaum's" Escape" We've been listening to books on CDs for some time now and find it a great way to relax on long drives.....
Thank you Dani..I am mailing another 90 letters as soon as I get them all written. I write them in my word processor on line and then print them but I am writing them a little more personal to each celebrity this round. I already have 5 new recipes for 2nd edition and hoping for at least 10 more or even 15. They will be added to all the ones I have in first edition.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem like it was 20 years ago when I started first edition and Nellie was only 12 and helped me. I want to start taking names and payments on Feb 28th in honor of Nellie turning 32 :)I can't wait to try the 2 newest recipes I just got. One is for short ribs and the other one is for Brown Apple Betty...need to pick up the supplies the next time we go grocery shopping.
I am also going to be having 2 give aways in my blog. The 1 will start the 26th for a grocery card and then the other one in about 3 weeks for coffee.Maybe by the time they are over I will have my cook books ready for market...thanks for putting the word out :)
Hugs
