Signed

Well we signed the papers today for the house. Since the buyers closing appt was so late the lender did not get the money transferred in time :-( So we wait til Monday. Supposedly the buyers realtor was told to hold the keys til the money is transferred, now whether that happens who knows.

We ate lunch with Christina today. She was doing well. We had pizza at our favorite pizza place in San Antonio, Big Lou's. Our favorite waiter guy was there working. He always has to give me a hug. (I think it is the owner son)

Supposed to race tomorrow night but we shall see. I am sorta hoping it will rain. Just a long drive...........

Dr appt

I had a DR appt today in San Antonio. Joe did not work last night so he went with me :-) Anyway....my labs came back just great! Woo hoo! Glad someone in this family has good lab work :-)

Saturday we went to watch racing with a few of the guys. It was good racing! They had another dwarf car club at the track. MAN they are slow compared to the Texana guys. I think Jim (track owner) said this club went like 70 miles an hour down the front straight where as they clocked the Texana guys when we were there close to 90 miles per hour. These guys ran street tires too where our guys do not.

Sunday evening since Joe got called off we went to see a movie. We have not done that in a while. We went to see "The Ugly Truth." Joe was worried about it being a chick flick but think in the end it turned out good. We laughed so hard in some parts I thought I was going to cry.

Tonight Joe is at work. Not sure if he will work as scheduled tomorrow night or not. We shall see.

Tried to see Christina today but she was running late for her DR appt and we had to get home so Joe could nap so things just did not work out. Maybe Friday when we go into San Antonio to close on the house.

I need to go find some sinus meds. Have a horrible headache :-(

Friday

The weekend again......wonder what our plans are? I know Joe is going to Floresville tomorrow to get the last of the little bit of stuff out of the house. Brad (a racing buddy) is supposedly going to help him.

Yesterday Joe rode with Brice to KS to get a new race car for Brice. Amazingly it fit in the back of the truck. They got home at 5 AM today. Bet Brice will sleep all day, I know for sure Joe will be awake before him.

Got our closing appt. It is next Friday in San Antonio at 1 pm :-) I guess the people will do a final walk through before then. After that I am sure we will go right down the road to the bank and pay the Cuero house off. Won't that be nice?! Now to just get some more things done in the Cuero house. Joe got some cards the other day at the local lumber store (guess that is what they call it) for dry wall people. He is going to have some come to give him quotes. Hopefully we can find one who does good work, does not cost an arm and leg and who is nice.

We are almost done with the stripping the trim in the family room. Just have the doors and a bit around the door frames. I think we then have to sand it and stain it. (after the drywall) Then I will need to figure out what carpet we want in there. Not sure where I will look for that.

Then on to the dining room area to start stripping that trim. Fun times we are having here :-)

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

WOW

WOW
Just got an email from the realtor. They are saying that by next Friday (NOT Aug 14th) the buyers will be ready to close! Guess we best get to Floresville to get that last bit of stuff that is there. Hmmm hope Brice or Brad will take a ride with Joe to get the stuff! I had planned to stop there on Monday anyway to get the few boxes I left in the kitchen.

Guy is here measuring for new windows. OUCH do not want to see the quote for that. But sure will be nice to have them. I just checked though and I am not the happiest that the one window cannot be like I wanted it. Oh well.....such is life in an old house. Nothing is perfect :-) Guess it just goes with us as we are not perfect either.

FINALLY got my DR appt scheduled. I go in Aug 21st. Hope I feel ok the 22nd as the guys go to Houston that day to race and I hate to get left behind! LOL

Sirens have been flying down the road the last hour. I wonder what is going on? Must be an accident as several ambulances have gone. Usually when they go by they are going to the old folks home that is next to Walmart.

Joe going in to work for a few hours once the window guy leaves. He should be home around 10 pm though so that is not too bad. He was supposed to go train tomorrow for the PEDS agency but they decided not to have him come in again. I am not sure if this agency is going to work like we had hoped :-(

Monday

Phew got the internet back :-) A storm blew in Friday afternoon and lightening hit the pecan tree. I guess it messed up our modem too as we have not had internet since. A real cute ATT guy came today and got it all working again :-)

Friday night after the storm blew by we went to dinner with Brice then to a rodeo up at the city park. Man it sure was not comfortable sitting on the wet bleachers :-( It was fun though to watch. I guess they have not been in town for like 5 yrs. Sure would be neat if they started coming to Cuero again. I think Brice was telling us they go to Victoria often.

Saturday the guys raced in Edna. Joe won his heat race! :-) The feature was running second and a time first til a restart :-( Then he got a bad start and was pushing too hard in a corner and spun out. He did finish the race but in 10th. Sigh......

Sunday Joe and I went to Victoria. Checked out Home Depot and Lowes. Then ate at Texas Roadhouse. Joe was off last night as he had a class all day today. He is off tonight too. I am HOPING they do not cancel him Tuesday night as that won't be too nice of a paycheck if he only has his class on there.

Looks as if it may rain. Need to go check the radar and see what is out there. I know north west of San Antonio there had been some but not too sure which was it was going to head.

OH also on Friday our friend Michele Kasper and her girls stopped by for a bit. It was nice to see them again. Did I tell yall I am going on a cruise with her, the girls and her mom in March? Yep and Joe is staying home. Hope my anxiety does not get the best of me

Hope all are having a good start to the week!

Lookie!

Look what the sign at the Floresville house says!
Now if we can just stand the wait til Aug 14th when we are to close
We need to make 1 or 2 more trips then it is empty. The refridge and Grandfather clock are still there and some other big item. Joe is hoping to get a friend to go with him Sunday to get that. Maybe he will get the few things I have in the kitchen boxed up too and I won't have to stop there when I go into San Antonio in a week and a half for a Dr appt :-) Now that would be a nice husband.

Poor sad crashed race car LOL

Yawn ....Sunday

We went to Highlands TX last night for the guys to race. Joe ended up taking 6th with his buddies Brad taking 5th and Brice taking a 7th. Joe was a crazy driving in the feature. He scrapped the wall on the front stretch with sparks flying and also lost it going through a turn and spun then got hit by a guy. LOL His tire was all out of whack but he still finished the race. He so loves racing! You can go here and see some of the race. The guy really did not show the whole field of who was racing http://www.ustream.tv/flash/video/1792953

WOW I just saw Mark Martin won the NASCAR race. He sure is having a good year.

Joe is off to work tonight :-) He is scheduled his normal 3 but we shall see. Lately he has been getting 5 shifts per two weeks which is not too bad but I sure would like that extra night some pay periods. Will be so nice not to have a house payment to take out of paychecks although I have a feeling we will have a new car payment to take its place. LOL Seems everyone is drooling over the camaros just waiting to see who will get one first.

Allergy issues today bad. UGH!

Well I am off to check a load of wash I started. Then to wait to see if I am going to do anything else tonight. Might ride over to Victoria if Brice stops by and is taking Brad's car to him and wants some company. We shall see. Definitely headed to bed early since we did not get home til 3:45 AM

House and HOME

Our Navy friend Mitch came home yesterday from his 6 months out to see on the USS Stennis. Isn't this a good picture of him and Elina Michelle :-) Got word from the realtor that the new buyers only want 1 thing fixed. Woo hoo! Waiting to hear from him to call Joe so we can see exactly how we can fix the problem. There is several ways. I think we are do to close around Aug. 14th. I need to get the papers out and see.

We are off to Highlands around noon. Meeting our friends Brad and Jenni at Olive Garden in Victoria to eat before we head out. I hate the 3 hour drive, especially after the races. Hopefully this weekend there are NO crashes.

Have a great weekend!

Waiting waiting....

Heard from the realtor today. They did the inspection yesterday (WOW would of been nice to know this) and now the buyers are supposedly looking over it tonight and deciding what to do. Nothing major was wrong so that is good. :-) Should know something tomorrow I guess.

Today is our God-daughters 4th birthday. Gosh I cannot believe 4.....
We saw Christina for a bit today. She is good it seemed.

AND the best news is from the cardio. dr. He was SO pleased with Joe's labs and such. He told Joe whatever he is doing to keep it up. LOL Joe tried to tell me too that Dr M told him racing was the best medicine and he needs to do it more. So for now....Joe is doing GREAT!!!!!

One of the young girls that stops by here every so often just sent me a message one of her twins is in the hospital and the other might be right behind him. :-( They are like 9 months old. Poor little things were pre mature and have been sick I think pretty much off and on since then. I might go check on them tomorrow as they are right here in Cuero.

Nothing exciting..

Nothing exciting going on here in Cuero this week at all. Joe has worked 2 nights and that is about it. Tomorrow we are up and out the door early as Joe has a DR appt. I think we have to be there at 9:15. UGH! Joe needs to get his haircut too while he is there. They do a much better job there then he has had here in the area.

We had a brief rain shower yesterday AM. Then when we were in Victoria around dinner time they had a brief shower. SHOCK and it was only 86* when I came back home last night.

Just ordered some pictures from this past Friday night at the races. Man that crash. Here is a picture of Gary flipping with Brad OH SO close to him. YIKES! Joe was a bit further away from him. Phew
Brenda did a good job catching the crash. http://dancer52.dotphoto.com/CPViewAlbum.asp?AID=5901038&Page=1

Pictures from our visit with the Kinser's

Goofball with my purse :-)

Sunday....thank goodness!

Whew what a long hot fun filled weekend we had!
The guys raced Friday night this week instead of Saturday. Man it was SO hot and humid at the track. We all need to remember to drink MORE water there that is for sure. One of the younger drivers got out of his car at the end and dropped to his knees as he was over heated! ACK!
It was a scary night too of racing. Quite a few accidents where they had to take the ambulance out on the track. Luckily none of the drivers had to go to the hospital.
A dwarf car driver had a HARD scary crash in the heat. Luckily he was ok in the end. Phew......

Saturday we got up and went to Palacious TX where Anna, Pat and the boys were camping. Had a nice few hours there visiting and eating some yummy chicken fajitas.
Then off to the race track again where we watched the races :-)

Well the good news is we got an offer for the house in Floresville! We counter offered and waiting to hear what they say. Hopefully it works out if not atleast it gave us a bit of a cheering up as we know people are interested for sure. There is another couple that were seriously interested too. We shall see.
SO we went to Floresville today and brought a few more things back. Just odds and ends there but they are larger things so having to make several trips. On Thursday I guess I am taking down the curtains that are still up and a few things that were left on the wall. Our storage unit here is definitely getting full now.

Joe is to work 3 nights this week then on Thursday he goes to the cardio dr :-)
