What a great choir director and choir members. The troops will love all the goodies and Ev will be so proud!
Gee, that's different than California.
When we sold, our realtor had a closing date for bids on the house and he went over each one with a fine tooth comb before presenting any of them to us. We were presented with three out of six bids, and took the one that was prequalified and accepted all contingencies.
As a memeber of the medical profession, although retired, but still volunteering........I can tell you that today's ruling sickens me.
That is very strange & against the board of realtor's norm.. & in general contract law for real estate.. UNLESS THINGS HAVE DRASTICALLY CHANGED in the 10 years since I had my compnay.
Was this an auction? Of course each state has the right to it's own statuatory laws.
You can accept back up offers AFTER you have one primary contract. They are so written in contract
Congrats Jim! It looks like it has a basement? Does it?
One of the guys in the choir has a brother serving in Iraq; one of the women has a son in the Army, currently station in DC; another has a grandson in Iraq. One of the deacons has a son in the 101st, currently in Iraq; there are more than a dozen young men affiliated with the parish who are overseas, either in Iraq or Kuwait.
The church does quite a lot in terms of supporting the troops; the names and pictures of all active duty soldiers are kept under the altar cloth and they are prayed for regularly; once a month in the bulletin their names are published and prayers requested; there is a display in the gathering space of all their pictures and where they are currently serving; the schoolchildren will be doing a letter-writing project later this month; and during Lent a special collection of items will be taken at all Masses one weekend, and individual care packages will be sent to all the soldiers who are connected to the parish.
Just as I was starting to pass trays, I got a phone call from Scovel's and Rick said he could come look at the motor home during his lunch hour. I ran home to meet him and am SO happy tonight :-) He checked out a few things and then asked me what I thought it was - he remembered I had told his wife something. I said I thought it was the starter solenoid. He didn't know the location on this MH so I showed him where it was. He checked it out and said..., "You are right". The bad part? It was only a loose bolt and if I had gotten under there, I could have fixed it myself!!!!! I turned the ignition key and it started right up.
But, I think Larry had a plan because Rick noticed a motor mount bolt missing and two bolts are missing on the new constant velocity joint boots Burden's put on for me. I told him I wanted him to go though the rig for me before my trip so that I can feel safe driving. The Lord and Larry keep saving me from disaster! He did compliment me on how well I was taking care of the things I knew about. Seemed impressed the oil was changed every 2500 miles and that I replaced the air filter every 5000 miles. And, he was really impressed that a motor home of this "vintage" had zero leaks. So, I am happy tonight!!
He walked around the lower driveway and agreed with me that there is no way I can drive the motor home out that way. He thinks I can jockey it around and pull it out of the upper driveway. I will make an appointment for sometime next week to take it over to Scovel's and pray the rain lets up so that I don't get it mired in this mushy driveway!!! Brief weather report right now...it is raining.....oh well :-)
Miss Lily is doing OK. She was up this morning for breakfast and Karol said she ate 50%. That is amazing for a lady who NEVER liked eating breakfast.
I had left over pork roast for my dinner and treated myself to Southern fried okra - the heck with the diet tonight - I am celebrating.
Night, Dolly. I'm next.
It wasn't an auction, that's just the way -- with the quick sales in CA - that the realtors are doing it now. I don't know about real estate law - I haven't had anything to do with that for umpteen jillion years - but from what I experienced while we were selling, it is a common thing in CA.
What a great Parish!
How wonderful that there are so many supportive people there and that the names and pictures are kept right on the altar.
At my old church in CA we had a bulletin board with a display for all the active duty troops and they did publish the names in the monthly bulletin, but only one group actually actively supported the troops.
I am having the most fun time finding music for my parents party. They gave my sister this really long list, a real range of music from the Fifties. My sister also found a website that shows BYU through the ages. The pictures are great, she is going to mix a few in with some family photos. My parents met at BYU, we have a picture of the building. We're going to set it to "Love is a many splendored thing."
What are you doing up ??
/johnny
What are all of you doing up? It's late here. :) I'm off to bed, finally finished burning the CDs of music. Took forever, but the songs are great. Night one and all.
I've got a cold.
Couldn't sleep
I'm sorry to hear that. That stuff has been going around everywhere here in Utah, it is nasty. Chicken soup and Thera-flu got me through the worst of it. Take care.
Walter Williams today:
"....Nearly two decades ago, during dinner with the late Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek, I asked him if he had the power to write one law that would get government out of our lives, what would that law be?
Professor Hayek replied he'd write a law that read:
Whatever Congress does for one American it must do for all Americans.
He elaborated: If Congress makes payments to one American for not raising pigs, every American not raising pigs should also receive payments. Obviously, were there to be such a law, there would be reduced capacity for privilege-granting by Congress and less influence-peddling.
Went back to sleep..tossed and turned...Now, I'm up for the day ...I think.
