Ted and I are wrestling with a big decision. My son and his wife and children want us to move into their neighborhood, in Midwest City. We know a lot of people there and the proximity to TAFB is a big plus since Ted is disabled and we get to use the club, the golf course and all the rest of the good stuff. Also, it will be wonderful to be close to Bob and Ellie and the children.

However, we love the farm and the freedom and space it affords us. I am not too worried about falling real estate prices as whatever we buy will be priced cheaper also. We are worried about selling it and the lack of mortgage money available to a prospective buyer. We know that it will take a while to sell. In the meantime a big garage sale is on the agenda. We are trying to declutter. I am a packrat and so is Ted.

One of my best friends is coming for lunch tomorrow. She doesn't eat breakfast so she is always ravenously hungry by eleven. I am having a chicken casserole with a vegetable dish of squash and sweet red peppers sauteed in olive oil
I have fresh rosemary to sprinkle on top. We will probably have fudge for dessert or orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream. I will make cornbread too as she loves it.
