It is three in the morning, Wednesday, and we are 77 degrees warm or cool, depending on your frame of mind. The humidity is around 84 percent with no chance of that dropping.
Thousands of bicyclists are crossing Iowa this week from one border of Iowa to the other. They are north of us at Boone, Iowa and will awake soon to go another seventy miles to the next major town. People from all over the nation and all over the world come to do the RAGBRAI event each year. It is a lot of people out on the highways in the heat for most of the week.
We will be starting over with the the sale of my parents home, starting Friday. I will meet with a realtor and we will pretend that we did not just waste a month with it being off of the market. The realtor can now be the middle person to deal with the public and maybe by fall we can be rid of it. We are beyond being discouraged but yet are faithful and trusting that things will work out for the best.
The housing market is what started this mess in this country with Fannie May and Freddie Mac loans with hoakie, bad judgements on our government's part. I assume those who were behind the faulty thinking will never be held accountable and will continue to be reelected as if they were innocent of all wrong doing. Telling lies to the ones that they represent is status quo and giving loans to people because they are of certain skin colors and not because they can afford the house may stop being the criteria.
Thanks for stopping by...........

Continued prayers for the sale of your parents home, Larry.
Thanks so much. I guess it is the hurry up and wait part that really wears me down. It has been three years now since mom and brother have passed and it took too much time to get the house ready for sale. There will be good results eventually from all of this.
Here's hoping that things do indeed work out the best Larry.
i have learned that nothing happens for no reason - there is someone out there who really needs that house more than the couple you just dealt with - it will happen when it is the right time.
I hope things move on now with the house sale. It will feel good to have it concluded.
You're right about lack of accountability. The latest thing to hit here is a pensions crisis, which has just seen my retirement age raised from 60 to 65, and my children's likely to end up at 70. Who were those highly paid actuaries who didn't realise that people are now living longer and will therefore be making more call on the pensions system...?
