We have been able to sell both our extra homes during the Coronavirus issues. I suspect we are an enigma in the real estate world right now.

Down to one home and all the equity in the bank now.

Wade, hang in there. We were like you for many a year.

Good job Robert!

Only 22 more years left on our mortgage. :P We are actually doing well - thanks!

Uhaul sent a survey to ask how my experience was with renting the trailer. The guy at the drop off was there 3 hours after close and still came and helped me check in. I love getting to leave positive reviews and validate when people do good things.

I had a very good experience as well. I had inadvertently left my battery powered drills/batteries/chargers in a bag under the drivers seat and forgot to remove it from the truck. 3 days later I finally figured out why they were missing. I called the dealer, he went and checked and brought them to his shop. I gave him a $5 tip, which was inexpensive for me considering the value of the drills. To see how God works in these things, the truck had been leased out during those 3 days and yet the drills were still there. We serve a great God and appreciate honest dealers. He could have lied and kept the drills for himself and I would have none the wiser.

Today I got my dog Ariela back. She's an old lady, deaf, half blind, with dementia, and someone had opened the gate, which to her means go out, but she wouldn't be able to find her way back. Friends and I went out looking for her last night and this morning. Turns out she had fallen in the creek and gotten stuck in the mud. The police saw her and called animal control, who didn't charge me, but ordered me to bring her to the vet, saying she might have to be euthanized.

The vet's diagnosis? "She's a tough girl, even though she's old. No injuries from the experience."

Finding her unharmed was an answer to several people's prayers :clap:

I'm glad to hear your dog is unharmed. Dogs can be tougher than we think. I think it would have been wiser if that person hadn't mentioned euthanasia and alarmed you.

That’s a cool idea, though probably for wild bees. It’s not practical if you’re trying to get honey.

When your wife comes back from the hives, do you say, "Hi honey!"?
