Well friends and family, today could be the day that we receive an offer on our house. I'm so scared. This house was built together with our two hands. There have been a lot of good memories here, ones we surely won't forget. I also have taken care of kids for the last two and half years. They are much like my own and selling the house will mean parting with them (at least for everyday). So many mixed feelings - not even sure how to describe them.
Onamia Days Centennial Celebration is over and phew...i'm glad. It was a long weekend. Nevermind that I was up until 5 in the morning on Saturday night...but who doesn't like a nice fire and sitting around it with friends?! I was very much involved with the activities of the weekend. The kids are at the age where they are old enough to be off with their friends. I do trust them and they have a cell phone. That worked well when they would answer it....Oh sorry mom, we were on a ride and couldn't hear it....likely story. What's it going to be when they are 16...oh sorry mom, there was no reception where I was at...:)
The Little Miss Pageant went well - including my speech and the crowning of the Little Miss Onamia - it was all of 15 minutes. I guess I know how to move a crowd in and out. I have fun with girls that age...if you show them a little attention, they think you are their best friend. Some of those kids really need that attention.
This last weekend I helped at a benefit to support the Oberfelds. Loretta is 31 and has recently had a double masectomy and will undergo chemo starting the first part of July. The benefit was a huge success with 500-600 people in attendance. I was there working through our Foundation - the Lipski-Olson Caring Community Foundation. We kept the food stocked and cleaned tables. There were lots and lots of auction items. We ended the night with a balloon release that was simply touching.
Saturday I watched the Brandt boys. Shane and Shannon went on a 4-wheeler run to support another cause. We also went bowling for my niece Madisons birthday. That was alot of fun. Amy and I swapped kids for the week. I got Evan and Amy got Kelsie. WOW! No fighting so far. The Brandt boys spent the night.
Sunday we ended with a BBQ at the Holadas. Butch and LEanne were celebrating their anniversary, so Pam & Jim, Evan, Kas and I all went over and hung with them and their kids/grandkids. We ended the night with an early tuck into bed.
We are starting this week with a fresh look on life. I haven't heard anything yet from the realtor..however she mentioned that she believed the offer would come in much to low for us. BITTERSWEET is all I can say.
Until next time - take care...we love you!
