KC TRIP

We took a break from unpacking and took a trip to Kansas City to watch our grand kids play ball. Tracy and Abby went with us. It is now a six and a half hour drive instead of a 4 hour drive from Oklahoma. But the scenery is definitely a lot prettier this route.


The first night was Carter's game. He even pitched some.

The next night was Karlie's game and it was her last game of the season.  She got a medal and a cupcake.  She was so proud of both.

Carter and his dad played in a golf tournament in another city on Saturday, the day we were leaving. Carter did really good.  They came in 4th place.

They held hands going down the slide when the lifeguard wasn't looking.                                      

Abby and Karlie played Doctor.  Foxa broke her leg and has on a cast in a wheel chair.

FATHER'S DAY LUNCH

We met Tracy, Kim and Abby for church yesterday and then went to lunch for Father's Day.

Abby came over today. It has been so hot and humid here so, we went and bought Abby a slip and slide to play in the water. The heat index was 108 degrees when she was playing on it.

DAISIES ARE IN BLOOM

I guess they are daisies, not really up on flowers. I think I will have flowers blooming all summer long.

MISS ABBY/FLOWERS AT NEW HOUSE/ARKANSAS

Kim and Abby came over Sunday and spent the afternoon with me. Abby rode her scooter on the patio and posed for pictures for me. We sat out on the patio and listened to the golfers go by.  Some of them are very loud.  I told Abby that her pap-pa wants to teach her to play golf.  She says she only wants to learn if she can drive the golf cart.  She may have to wait until she is a little older to drive the golf cart. We have flower beds that completely surround our house. I don't even know the name of most of the flowers.   I do know that these are Day Lilies. There are flower beds completely surrounding our house.  But they need to be weeded and new mulch put down.

BACK YARD/NEW HOUSE

This is our backyard at our new house. We have a few more trees than we did at our old house in Oklahoma. The yard and flower beds are going to need a lot of work once we officially get moved in. It is more important right now getting our furniture in and things arranged. Our furniture should arrive by next Friday. Behind the trees is a ditch that leads to a pond. There is a beaver cutting one of our trees to use to build a dam on the ditch. Hubby has been excited about it and took Abby and showed her, but she wasn't as excited as he was. On the other side of the ditch is the golf cart path. Since it is summer and the leaves are on the trees, we can't really see the golfers or golf carts go by anymore. I can sure hear them though. Today has been a busy day for them.

PICS OF OUR HOUSE

I am sharing a few pictures of our house that the professional photographer took. They turned out good, except there are lots of shadows on some. It listed on Wednesday and we had a showing on Thursday.


I really liked this foyer.

Master bedroom.

Abby was sad when she saw pictures of the bonus room and toys.  I told her the toys would be coming to our house here in Arkansas, but she was still sad.

Guest bathroom upstairs.

If we had stayed in the house another year,we were going to have a pergola built over the second patio.

OUR HOUSE IS LISTED

Our  house has been listed, but the sign will not be put up until Wednesday. The photographer is coming to take pictures tomorrow(weather permitting). Our realtor says she will not officially list without pictures. Can you believe they now hire professional photographers to take the pictures. I guess a lot has changed since we last sold, almost 7 years ago. The realtor was still taking pictures back then.


Fresh flowers for the pictures.  Realtor thinks we may need all the help we can get.  Houses not selling that well in our area right now.  Oh well, we will just have to wait and see.
