I core big old Granny Smith apples and leave the bottom in, stuff the innards with brown sugar, cut a hard pat of butter in half and push it in the top to hold the sugar in, bake with Kielbasa sausage for an hour and everyone is in heaven!!!

The chairs really look nice and fit in with your color schemes so good. I am sorry houses are not selling as well there as here. Te market is good here. I know you are anxious to move. but an empty house never sells as good as one being lived in. Just sit back, relax and enjoy all you treats.

Sometimes buyers like to see an empty house and imagine their things in it. The house looks bigger and the buyers also realize they can quickly move in...it's ready to occupy. It's a hard decision, I know. And our house didn't sell fast either way. I'm feeling your pain!

I actually need to give couple of mine a quick extra coat some time since I did them last fall and then after the weather got cold realized I had a few thin spots on them.<br />Is there any reason not to just move into the summer house and let the realtors show your house empty?
