Who will be looking, and at what? If it’s the congressman’s wife, I hope they ask for some credentials.

Thank you.

Sorry. The congressman’s wife just offered it to her - on the spot. No checks, etc. The talk show host mentioned that to her that he thought that was ill advised. She replied “As a lawyer, I know that I run some risk of doing this. But, in today’s climate you can get sued by someone trying to give them first aid or whatever.”

And yes, Ms. Hughes told the congressman’s wife that she went to the library and saw photos of the house (it is for sale) and would like to see it together tomorrow. (What - the color may not be quite suitable for her and her son!!??)

Hopefully the home owner will have the presence of mind to have some contracts ready - even if it is a gift of a free house. Good for Ms. Hughes too. (You can stay until I sell it, and I will continue to pay the taxes, electric, etc. You pay for the phone. And no - you can’t have cable TV - or then you can pay for the electric. You can’t trash my house, I can visit whenever, etc.)

It will be interesting to see what happens. I would like to believe in the goodness of human nature that someone that needs help gets help due to the kindness of a stranger. We’ll see if Henrietta takes her up on this offer - or warily walks off into the shadows. (Oh man - all I wanted was my 5 minutes of fame - not some house!)
