Had an appointment to sell my 3-point log-splitter at 11:00, so I set the alarm to make sure I didn’t oversleep. Managed to get a good night sleep and felt much better when I got up just before 8:00. Then I got a message from the mother of a good friend that Hubby had mentored years ago, she’s been looking for a rental in the area, with no luck, and I told her that my house was for sale, and that I might rent it to the right person (which includes her, of course!) She wanted her husband to see it, but they were pressed for time, and had to meet almost immediately. I hustled Hubby out of bed and we were on our way in less than a half hour, and met up with them at the house, which they loved! She had seen it before, but her hubby hadn’t, and he fell in love with it immediately! We talked for a bit, and came to some tentative terms, then they ran off so he could make a flight back to Florida to pick up a truck and move up to Tennessee. What a turn of events! After months of no action, to suddenly have a friend decide she wants to move back to the area and to have someone in the house will be great! A load off my mind! Not to mention a little income to help with our travel and house expenses! Then I met with the log-splitter buyer and they hauled that off behind a tractor, then Hubby and I went down to Manchester, grabbed some breakfast at the Waffle House, I stopped for fuel and eggs, and got back to the farm mid-afternoon. Rosie was just getting load of firewood in, and there were a bunch of people around, so we all pitched in and got it done in short order. Many hands do make light work! Then I got Rosie and her farmhand to help me load some stuff I had picked up at the house up into the trailer’s “attic,” stuff I wanted in Florida but didn’t want to haul around all summer, so since we’re heading south next week, now was the time to get it! Finally, it was getting dark, I brought the horses in and spent a quiet evening.
