This morning Doc and I had numerous
things to do. The first task was
to eliminate the steady stream of ants crossing the kitchen counter. Definitely UNinvited guests.
We were trying to get out the door
early, but were delayed by incoming phone calls. We returned the leather samples I had checked out from one
store. The furniture prices there
were twice my allotted budget.
Next we stopped at Rental House #1 to collect the rent. I found a penny there (Coin #1). After that we met Realtor Adrie for an
hour at the Pomona house to prepare a counter offer. We also filled both the front and back yard ponds and
prepared a few other things around the house.
This afternoon a termite inspection
was completed. Yippee! Just a few dry-rot boards which may
need to be replaced.

On the way home we stopped at the
bank, then a 99¢ store where Doc found a dime. (Coin #2)
Recently at the Annual HOA meeting,
we met Paul and Jay. They moved
into the neighborhood a few months ago.
They really like the exterior look of the Penny Palace and expressed
interest in seeing the inside.
Tonight for 2.5 hours they wandered through the house looking at everything and noticing all the details. (Invited Guests). It sounds like they
completed many Do-It-Yourself projects at their former house and are now
planning numerous changes to their new house.
Paul and Jay had originally planned
to visit our house LAST night.
Something came up and our tour was delayed until tonight -- just AFTER
they interviewed a kitchen designer.
Guess what? They were
interviewing Cabinet John - the guy we used! So they were able to go straight from their meeting to our
house where they could see at least SIX different styles and colors of cabinets
as examples of his work. Just
another Penny Palace COINcidence? Aren’t those fun?
Total: 2 Coins P (1), N (0), D (1), Q
(0) = $0.11
