ginnyde Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Been a tough couple of days. Today would have been Earl's 63rd birthday. Yesterday would have been my sister's wedding anniversary and my nephew died 3 years ago on Wednesday. So I have been a little more weepy these days than usual. A mixture of happiness and sadness is that I have bought the new house and the bank has okayed my swing loan in case I need to settle the new before I settle the old. My house went on the market Tuesday and I now live in a land of strangers peaking in my closets. It has been very active, which I guess is good. I can not be here while they are here so I can probably not afford to move with all the time I am spending at the mall. Actually I am going to spend some money. I am going to get some new furniture for the family room, new rugs for the downstairs and I am going to put granite on the kitchen counters. This whole thing scares me, but ........... I am going to do it. I am thrilled about all the good news and glass clinking that has been here lately and pray and pray and pray that it continues. Hope you all are warmer than it is here.

stand4hope Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hi Ginny, I, too, am sorry that you have had a tough week. I think about you so often. Have fun buying lots of things for your new home. It will help! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ginny, So sorry you are feeling down and with good reason too. These anniversaries are hard to handle now aren't they! I can understand how scared you are feeling about showing the house and moving, I am feeling like that too. I am sure though that everything will go smoothly and that you and the kids will soon be ensconced in your new home and enjoying every minute. My thoughts are with you, and I wish you the best of luck.Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Well, Ginny, at least you don't have strangers peeking out of your closets. You may have to be careful at the new place. Those old golfers (and young ones, too) will be quickly smitten. I just finished my tough run of anniversaries. And it made me weepier than usual, too, which is saying a lot for me. But this too passes, and this has been a good week, and so I am grateful. Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ginny. I think you are doing a heckuva job. You are moving forward and onward. You have faced so much tragedy and you are a tremendous force of courage and strength. I admire you for your brilliance and tenacity. You have so much coming at you from all angles...who wouldn't feel topsy turvy right about now? Hang in there. Once this home business settles down, you will find more comfort and peace. I just know it. ps...give me some good hints for showing and moving wouldja? Love, Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Well there's nothing like spending some money to chase away the blues. Here is my granite helpful hint...bring a piece home. Don't assume it will look the same in your kitchen as it does in the showroom. I found when I brought things to my house the colors were completely differnt. Good luck Ginny...hang in there.

BeckyCW Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ginny, thinking of you and praying things get easier and that the mall doesn't run out of things to buy... um, for that new house, that is! BeckyCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ginny, Sorry you had a tough week sweetie... the "firsts" are always so darn hard. I agree with Ry about checking out the granite at home first. My friend just bought a piece home and we did the "check for stains" test.... we used lemon juice, tomato, soda etc... and let it sit for hours.. then made sure all the stains would come out. Her granite was "honed" and not a glossy finish so we were extra "skeptical"..... It did clean up well though... Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ginny, Feel bad about your week. Have fun shopping it will help somehow, I should know still at it nearly full time. xo J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolsdaughter Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ginny, What a beautiful and brave woman you are! BTW, I just love that photo of you and the Duke. I can't imagine what it would be like to buy a new home like you are doing. I just think you are a great lady and I admire you very much. (Praying for some sun to warm you) Hugs, Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ginny, New starts are always bitter sweet. I hope things settle down a little for you soon and that they house gets sold asap. I think you are making a wise move. A smaller place, a different place and yet taking some of your memories with you are all healthy for you. I wish you the best of everything and hope that once you get moved in you feel at home quickly. I keep you in my prayers as I consider you a very good friend. I always look forward to your posts.
