[Magdalen] trying to sell my house

[Judy Fleener]

Realtors can be unyielding.  Fortunately ours has visited our house in the
last week and is delighted to see its condition.  There are renters there
who would love to buy the house.  They are keeping it looking ready to
show.  Our realtor has been encouraging this spring.  Saint Joseph is
buried in the yard and we pray for a sale.  And we appreciate the prayers
coming from this list.

Marion, Downsizing is not fun.  You will be in my prayers this week and
next and as long as you need them.
