Sunday's Open House

I'm sure you are all anxious to hear the results of the second day of our open house. It went just like day one. No one came! Mama allowed us to stay in the house instead of going to the RV. Her plan was to rush us through the back door and into the RV if anyone pulled in the driveway. We just laid in the living room and listened to the real estate man. He said we were very well behaved and that he wouldn't even know dogs lived in our house if he didn't see us. That mean's we don't smell. LOL

The open houses show that there is no one is interested in our house at all. Wow, that's really sad. We know it is all due to the economy, so we are not taking it personally.

So, our weekend just flew by and while it was disappointing, we are not as sad as we could be. Mama and Daddy are making a change to the listing. They are lowering the price, but they are also removing five acres from the listing, so it's not a true price reduction but it might be enough to bring someone in. If the buyer wants to buy the additional land, then they will have that option. Our house comes off the market around November 1st and we will take a break until the first of January. Daddy says we can't live in the RV during the coldest part of the winter, so that's why we need to take a break just in case someone would buy our house during December.
Mama says the break will be nice and we can all relax for a few months.

Open House Results

Yesterday was our first open house. Today, is day two. We were very busy vacuuming, mopping, dusting and yes, we got dusted again. The real estate man showed up so, Scout, Mama and I went out to the RV. We flopped down on the bed and couch and took a nap. I think Mama took a nap too because she had a bad headache. She's been very stressed over this open house thing.

How many people came to see our house? Zero, none, that's right not a single person. No one even drove past our house. Mama said she wasn't surprised with the turnout, but she was disappointed. Luckily, we have another open house today and maybe someone will come. We just hope it's someone who is really interested and not just someone who is being nosey. We will be glad when 3 p.m. is here and our lives can get back to normal.

We had storms last night, so we didn't sleep well. The lightning was constant and the thunder, well, it was scary! I ended up sleeping in the bed between Mama and Daddy. It was a very long night. It's still raining this morning. The weather people said the rain was going to stay to the north of us, but they were so wrong.

We Got Dusted!

Yesterday, Mama was cleaning the house preparing for the big open house. She was using the feather duster and the next thing we knew, she dusted us! She said anything that doesn't move gets dusted. Can you believe that? We told Daddy about it and he asked if Mama had to vacuum after getting all the dust off of us. We get no respect around here.

Open House Next Weekend

Jack here reporting on our busy weekend. We are having an open house next weekend on Saturday and Sunday, so that means we have to get rid of all the dust bunnies. We are having an open house special. That's right, if some one buys next weekend, they will save $20,000! We hope it works. Houses in our price range just are not selling around here. Anyway, we are busy cleaning and planting pretty mums and things like that. Mama washed some fancy towels that she has had for years and even though she washed them on delicate, they fell apart. She had to run out and buy new towels.

Daddy worked on our trail to the lake, so Mama and I walked down it today. I have lived here for four years and have never been to the lake. Can you believe that? I don't know why. I have trails in my own backyard and didn't even know it. Scout didn't go because she's being a diva today.

We are now done working for the day and are watching the Rams game. Scout and I are not dressed in our Rams gear because last year we did that and they only won one game. We don't want to bring them bad luck again.

Mama Does Wii Fit

Jack and Scout reporting to you on a raining Friday morning.

Our Mama purchased a Wii Fit for her birthday in February. She used it until we started getting the house ready to put on the market and then stopped. She said she didn't want the contractors to see her working out. LOL She's been really working hard at it for the past month.

Scout: I don't like the Wii games.

Jack: What don't you like?

Scout: The music and the yelling.

Jack: There's yelling?

Scout: Yeah, Mama's yelling.

Jack: Mama does get upset when she falls off a cliff or gets hit with a ball.

Scout: Yeah! Wii seems to be pretty violent. There's sweating and cussing.

Jack: We have pictures of Mama playing Wii. Do you want to see?
This is Mama playing the snowball game.

Jack: Seriously people, how many calories can you burn throwing a fake snowball?

Scout: I don't know, but I hope it keeps her from throwing snowballs at us this winter.

Jack: Here is a better picture of her getting ready for the obstacle course.

Scout: She doesn't really look like that.

Jack: No kidding Scout!

Scout: Here she is preparing to be weighed in. She says she looks like a weeble. She can't be a weeble though because weebles don't fall down and Mama falls down. The Wii lady even asked Mama if she falls down a lot. Wii lady told Mama that she is not very balanced.

Jack: Mama says she has lost 7 pounds so far, but she thinks she gained some of it back this week.

Scout: Daddy's been out of town and Mama ate a bag of hot fries.

Jack: Actually, it was two bags, but it wasn't all in one day.

Scout: Well, at least it wasn't all in one day. LOL She needs to stay away from those hot fries.

Jack: You know what I hate most about Wii? It's cutting into my Judge Judy watching. Mama needs to either work out before Judge Judy or after, but not during.

Scout: Jack, you really have a thing for Judy Judge.

Jack: I love Judge Judy!
