Wanna buy a house?

We put the house on the market today. We've decided not to rent it out, so now we're waiting to see if we've priced it right and if anyone will like it enough to want to buy it. I have vewry mixed feelings about this. We first moved here in 1959 - that's 46 years ago!

We visited John's school friend and his wife last weekend. They have agreed to act for us in the sale of the house, and in the purchase of the new one. This is good news as we may not be able to see the whole thing through before we have to go back to Columbus.

We spent the last few days looking for houses in C. S. We've found three that we like, but we really can't procede till we have some sort of bid on ours, so we're taking a break for a week while we wait to see if there is any interest in the house.

The weather here has been very good so far. Sunny a lot of the time, and very dry. It's so beautiful at this time of year with lots of flowers and spring-fresh foliage.

Tomorrow J. and C. arrive for their holiday. We're meeting them at the airport and we're off to the seaside for the day. We're going to introduce them to the English seaside experience - sheltering from the wind, walks on the pier, cockles, winkles and sticks of rock. Tee-hee!
