12:36 p.m. Nov. 6,2009 official notice received

I got the official call..the title was recorded. The old owner felt she had until 5 p.m. so I let her think that and we didn't show up at the house until after that. She left tons of stuff. Nicely lots of it is cleaning supplies..but lots of stuff we don't want...the joys of it all..
She did discover an old wood swing she hung in the back yard..it will need lots of work but I will have to see if that is worth it and if the framing over the patio can actually support it with people on it!!..
For our date we got a new dead bolt for the front door and a new door knob lock for the side garage door and put them on...after dinner with a two for one coupon at Home Town Buffet.
This morning at the temple I got recruited ...would I please be a receptionist the first Friday of each month...they are running low and Sandy Davis in my new ward recognized me and said she lives by me and we can car pool, she recruited me !! How funny is that !!
We are having such GREAT ADVENTURES !!! Oh ya !!!
Guess what world...My second son and his wife are expecting another grandbaby for me !! That will be 12..A. called me and announced it this evening !! So exciting !!

the $ has left the bank

Today I went to the temple......then to the bank to play pass around the $ and send in the escrow $. Then called the utilities to arrange changes. I went to the Realtors to sign an enviornmental disclosure and sign off for the things the lady did get fixed and waived the rest...It isn't worth the hassle and stress to me. I went to Ikea for fun,I didn't find anything I couldn't live without, next door to it is Lowe's where I bought light grey paint and supplies, and a hose and dust mop and don't scratch the hardwood supplies etc....[ because my 10% coupon expires tomorrow]...I have a walk thru tomorrow after 4 at the new house after which I get the key. Saturday is paint and clean day..the movers bring our stuff Monday.
I want to share this awesome quote by Henry B. Eyring.......It is my new favorite !!
Don't be discouraged when things look bleak nor too proud when things go well, because powers greater than yours are shaping events" "The Lord really does reign. Our primary consideration is to help when we can and be wise enough not to get in His way. He makes the history while we write our supporting parts in it. "
Just so you know..fasting, prayer and temple attendance are the secret weapons that made things work out !!

escrow

All systems are GO to close escrow Friday !! I could have a snit and hold it all up because they won't fix anything..or I can consider that the ravages of the escrow war and accept that we have some more work to do !! I think that one...dadu's blood pressure is HIGH ...he needs a more stable life. I took dadu to a new airport yesterday..San Diego....so he could spend the week in Oakland. It is not as easy as Ontario but nowhere near as bad ad L.A. !! Today I am going to shop Ross and buy a rug for under the piano when they deliver it Monday...I am not fond of loud music...I am hoping a rug will help absorb some of the sound on a wood floor !! I am guessing rug size ...and piano size...etc...but Tuesday is senior day at Ross and I get 10% off !!

November 1

Went to our new ward today, Escondido 1st. Very friendly. We were invited to dinner after church (1 - 4 pm block). The couple had invited other ward members over so we now know 6 new people. We met with the Bishop after the block and he wanted to know what we had done in the past, callings-wise. Looks like they are going to find something for us to do. I want to count paper clips in the clerk's office.
