Staging to Sell

Since Carol {Carol Lemon Realty} put the For Sale sign in the yard Wednesday evening, we've had realtors in four times. Each time they stay longer~which is a good thing! but there's just so much riding around town I care to do. I have ridden through areas I didn't realize existed and even got lost back in one subdivision that began on Hwy 14 and somehow took me way out on Hwy 31. I still don't know how I got there, but was glad to see a major road I recognized!

As I walk through our home, I miss seeing 'our stuff'. You know, the little family things that make a house a home. Even Johnny is noticing that decorative items are missing, a table is gone, pictures have been tucked away, rugs rolled up for floors to look larger. I didn't even think he missed the wooden spoons and items on the cooking island until he went to cook us some scrambled eggs and I noticed he looked puzzled and had his head cocked to one side. Staging a home to sell is fun, but I hope it sells soon so I can begin nesting once more. However, it is definitely easier to clean!

Nancy, I hope you find this note. I couldn't find an email address for you. On those kabobs, she used chicken breasts & sirloin steak cut up. She said she marinated the steak at least 24 hours before cooking, so I would do that with both the chicken & steak in your favorite marinade. Then it's just chopped onion, mushrooms & green bell pepper. Thread those on a skewer with the meat and cook until nice & done. You can put the marinade over the veggies too to make them taste better. I don't know exactly what she used on hers, but that's how I've done it before. Just get the marinade over all the meat & veggies & you'll be ok.

Hope this helps!
Rhoda

Well I still owe you 35$ for the yard sale..... Brandon said he brought you the candle sampler for me (that way you could see witch ones you liked). So pick out 3 dozen votives or tealights for the yard sale stuff and then pick out 2 dozen more for the entertainment center.... :) does that sound fair? Just let me know.....

I'm glad you went with Carol! She helped us with the house we bought last year, and has been a family friend of Scott's family for years. We just love her. But, she talks way too fast! :) Please tell her we said hi!
