Love it or list it?

We're back from our weekend at Joe's while Heather stages our house. Let's take a tour and see if we'll love it or list as, as the popular HGTV show says.

We love the decorator touches so much that we immediately listed the house for sale and hope the house sells "quickly and for a good price" so we can build the new log home.

Weekend at Joe's

Who's this greeting us in the trees?
It's Joseph telling us that his dad Joe and Blake are picking us up for a cruise to their house.
Better hurry up...
and get aboard.
Grandma got below with Tatum and Spencer to get out of the cold wind.
Off we go to our weekend place.
Is this the place?
No, that's Paula Deen's, the famous TV chef. Or this?

Nope, that's one of Joseph's school mates. Maybe it's one of these more modest guest houses on the water.
Nope, here we are safe and sound at Joe's place for a weekend of babysitting grandkids while their mom stages our house for a good sale.

Kannas Florida Spring Break

Chrissy and Randy decided to take a break from subzero Minnesota weather with a long vacation in Florida. They said they wanted this to be a "working" vacation, perhaps doing some garden work and enjoying the sun. So we prepared a duty roster to make them feel at home and part of the family. Look at the pictures below for a sampling of what they did. Randy had to get home for work after three days, replaced by their friend Stephanie who wanted some fun in the sun too.
Of course, we stopped to eat a time or two during the week or so they were here...

and to smell the orange blossoms.

Grandpa's favorite activity was to supervise from the chair that Chrissy reupholstered during one of her breaks.
They are now vacationing (recuperating) with the other grandparents at their condo at Panama City Beach. Anyone else want to visit? I'm sure we can arrange another duty roster that you can relax to.
