Don't know yet about the offer on the house. We made our counter offer, but the buyers are still undecided....waffling....maybe buyer's remorse. Purchasing a home is a big step, so it's understandable that they would need some time. I can't help but think all that decision making should have been done before they got to the offer stage in the process.
Home Depot took back the rug without a hassle even though they have a 'no returns on special orders' policy, but they did charge a 15% restocking charge. I'm not sure how I feel about paying a restocking charge...We bought the rug in good faith, but it was wrong for us for many reasons. If we had been able to bring home a sample, then I wouldn't have a problem with a restocking charge. We did ask about samples and were told they weren't available, and yet the store "policy" is no returns on special orders. How is one supposed to know the item will work if samples aren't available and the store says it can't be returned if it's wrong. Rugs are pricey items so it makes me want to shop somewhere that doesn't have such a policy...although, Home Depot has this policy, they did take the rug back. I'm appreciative but confused.
It's a windy day today and Jim has a golf game scheduled...ooooh. The neighbor next door, and Jim's golf buddy, bought a golf cart. Now Jim wants one too. It makes a lot of sense because a lot of the activities we go to are here in the complex - and a golf cart is perfect transportation and good for the environment.
We stopped off yesterday on te way home from the mainland and picked up some catfish, which Jim made for dinner. Yum....I don't generally like fried food, but he does such a good job on catfish.
Tonight we're going to Karoake night here at the complex with a couple of the neighbors. I don't sing, nor should I be allowed to if I attempted it...animals run and hide. It could be an enjoyable night if some of the participants have talent - or punishing if they don't. Either way, it will be a night out with friends and that's fun no matter the activity.
Am not sure what I will do today - I need to get ready for the kids on Monday, do some laundry, and give the house a quick clean. The stores are all having 4th of July sales, so that sounds exciting as well.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
