I have been here for months with no drapes hung. I can't put them up by myself, and haven't wanted to bother Craig (Becky's husband) since he is in the middle of a rehab on a house he bought. But day before yesterday, I fed him filet mignon for dinner and he looked the windows over and made a plan. (He would have done it without the filet. It was his birthday and I cooked.)
Beggars can't be choosers!! I am just thankful he is going to do them. There is some sewing I have to do before they go up, and I am going to start that this week. With drapes, this will finally be home. My house in Pryor is under contract. I signed the papers, and now we just have to pass inspection--which will not be a problem I don't think.
I called the realtor and told her that there was something that needed to be fixed that the inspector would not find--and that I would pay to fix it. The back flow preventer (which is outside connected to the sprinkling system) is missing a part that wouldn't turn up as a problem until next spring.
The realtor seemed shocked that I told her about it. I guess people don't point out problems if they can get out of it. But I really want to believe that if I "...do unto others as I would that they should do unto me," that I can always do what is right. I sure wouldn't want to go to heaven face the judgement over $300.

"Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly." Hebrews 13:18
"And as you would that men should do to you do you also to them likewise." Luke 6:31
I want to live like that.
