Now here's an interesting story.  About the time my house purchas option fell through, I had called his guy whose phone number my dad gave me about renting a place. He said he had a place he thought was coming due for the 1st of April. Right here in town where a friend of mine is renting. He was just waiting for the family of these people to come from Ontario and move out the furniture.  So I thought great. I said, yes, save it for me, wether its the first of April or whatever, I'll take it.  So my friend Jacquie calls me last night and says, I found a place to rent and its right in the same area you are going to be renting. We will be neighbours. I said, wow, that's great! How exciting. She says yes! Ross is just waiting for the family of these people to come from Ontario and move out the furniture. (Uh oh!)  I said that's really interesting because he told me the same story a few weeks back. Sounds like the same place.  So . . .  do I have a place to rent?  or not?   

Only Ross knows for sure.

I called and left a message on his machine last night and I will be calling

him today again just to see what he has to say for himself. It doesn't sound

very good to me. Sigh  . . .  back to square one. I am trying not to

feel discouraged, but it is very difficult.

 

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Oatmeal Batter Bread.  Quick, easy, delicious. What more could a person ask for! 

Have a great Friday. Hope your day is filled with lots of loveliness. Don't forget!
