From Goggle images "Pollen has turned my black sedan into a 

yellow submarine, and unless you're ...

She Says: The pollen is in full force. The kind that should invoke instincts that prevent one from walking out barefooted to water the plants, but you go anyway and come back tracking the greenish yellow dust...

I can see green emerging in the grass, time to turn on the sprinkler (round two of pollen season!). Wonder how hot this summer will be?

Attended the 10th Annual Oyster Roast Communities In Schools of the Midlands has at 701Whaley last night. As always a great event!.



Jason reports the oysters were great. The Beaufort Stew was a close second to Jason's. Friends and former colleagues were out in full force. 
It was sad to think about the friends no longer with us that helped to make the event fun. I did not make up for Linda's contributions to the silent auction...

Today is the annual St. Patrick's Day event in Five Points. Jason just emerged "I'm too old to go to Five Points, I'm too old to go to Five Points, I'm to old to go to Five Points, BUT I WANNA GO". I will continue my 13 year boycott!

Good news- sink no longer drips. Bad news- valve can no longer be turned on and off. Iffy news- stuck in off. Guess a plumber will have to be called...

She Says: Jason still hasn't called a plumber... I had turned of the hot water valve which stopped the dripping, but he turned it back on.

Chapter 12

She Says: Two showings in one day...things are looking up.  Early tree pollen storm not keeping people away!  Not seeing buds on my fabulous azaleas just yet. Maybe we're receiving positive chi from my cousin, their house is under contract in Florence...

He Says:

Dripping Sink Haiku:
Drippy sink, I hate
People buy house with no drip
Pay man to fix. Done.

Chapter Eleven

She Says: I have been here before and won't again if I become a renter!

I have a history of trying to do basic plumbing repairs, only to end up needing emergency plumbing. The positive is I contributed to the local small business plumber economy and on another occasion initiated my contributions to Lexington Lowe's bottom line (three days of clinical support to install the garbage disposal).

Now, we have a simple leaky faucet... if I only had the right size hex wrench to remove the faucet handle so I can identify if I have a compression, disc, sleeve cartridge or rotating ball faucet. Yes, I am in over my head, but I am sure the part is less than $5. And I don't have the right size tool to let me try!

Jason is worried that I will continue to try. All I really want is the sink to stop leaking when people come look at the house. If I was the client, I would think a leaky faucet was a tell tale sign about the house i general. In reality, it is just a worn seal, but... Will they try the faucet if I leave the water off? We will have to see how this one ends. Jason had fear in his eyes when I shared my false stat efforts and reminded me of the disposal adventure (at least he didn't bring up the toilet).

So yes, the house has been showing. Even had a agent come and preview today!

Think Jason finally has something to say!
