What's NEW wit chew?

Well, I was going to wait at least a week before doing another update, but here it's Thursday, and I've already got STUFF to write about. And pictures. So here goes:

1. I took Jenny and her boys to the Children's Museum yesterday. It was fun. It's at the Gateway, kind of expensive for what they have to offer, but I think the boys had a good time.



First they all took a ride in AirMed. They flew the helicopter!



then Clayton and Orson had a turn reporting the news.


They were really good at rock-climbing!


Preston preferred working in the water.

2. I got a call from Pixie, who is in Russia with Natasha. Pixie told me that they told Natasha that her mother and brother were burned to death in a house fire, and that she never had an older sister. I don't know how Natasha feels about that, but I'll see when she gets home.

3. I told my realtors to take my house off the market. They told me that I would have to sign papers to enable me to do this. They were reluctant to bring over the papers (it seemed to me). And almost every day after that (Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, someone came to look at the house. Today the realtor called to me to tell me that I have received an offer on the house. I asked 569, they offered 550, I countered with 559.9. We'll see. Right now, they are committed to close on October 8. It is contingent, however, on them selling their house. But they think they can do it by then. If not, then the sale is off.

Go figure!
