Bill came in on Wednesday. He brought the turkey frier for the thanksgiving turkey.
Tom got in on Thursday at 11:30am. His friend Kasey picked him up at the airport and they stopped at Aunt Becky's before coming home. I didn't get any pictures on Thanksgiving day - was so busy cooking and enjoying all their company! But I did get this pic of Tom on Black Friday morning:
And then he decided to join the world of the living:
His kitty has very happy to see him.
Bill and I drove up to my sister's house on Friday night so we could be there for the Auction of mom's house on Saturday morning. We stopped at the outlet mall in Tuscola and I got a pair of jeans for Tom ($8.00) and an outfit for me to wear to Yule parties in the coming weeks.
We had a really nice day for the Auction even though it was a bit overcast and rain was threatening. Unfortunately, we had a lot of lookers and no buyers. No one even bid on the house! I was shocked! I don't know what we are going to do with it now. We really need to get rid of it - know anyone in East Central Illinois that wants a beautiful old victorian home on a corner lot in Fairmount?
We came home after the Auction and brought home Monicals Pizza since Tom had not gotten any in over a year. The boys started their exodus on Sunday morning - Tom left at 4:00am and got into Destin at 7:00pm. Bill left sunday evening and Erik left this morning at 4:45am.
The house is quiet again as Aubri is back at school and Austen is asleep. Just me and the cats for 3 more weeks till they all come back for Yule!
Wow. Really surprised there were no nibbles on the house. Had you had it on the market previously and it just didn't sell? That's a head-scratcher.
ReplyDeleteWe were really surprised as well. We have it listed online now and my sister is putting a sign in the front yard as well. I'm hoping it sells soon.
