Can we say....T I R E D!

I stepped up into my Yukon to finally go home and thought I was going to have to lift my leg to get into the car.  We have shown so many homes this week that I have lost track and it's not over yet.  

I'm not sure just what is happening, but it's like a feeding frenzy out there with people wanting to buy homes.  Dealing with a lot of out of town buyers lately.  We looked at about 10 homes today in Bella Vista with a very nice family from Illinois.  They arrived in NWA around 3:45 a.m. after many miles of construction with 3 very tired children.  We were supposed to meet at 8:30 a.m. outside their hotel this morning.  When I got up this morning, there was a voice mail from him asking if I could just give them a few hours sleep, they would be good to go by 10 a.m.  

This changed our plans, now Val and I decided to eat a big breakfast since it looked like we would be on the go for rest of the day.  We stopped at Mama Z's and boy, was it good.  They make killer pancakes with almost 1/2 cup of melted butter to pour over your pancakes.  Yum!!!  

Well, since we had all this extra time, we decided to stop by and pick up Valerie's car in Springtown at the shop.  We came in from Siloam Springs and had noticed that from 412 we could have come up Fairmont and it would have saved several miles.  While we were laughing about how silly we were for not coming up Fairmont while driving to Springtown I began to wonder where this shop was, but didn't say anything because I had never been there.  Well, it didn't take very long to drive through Springtown and we were on the other side in a blink.  I said, "Val, where is this shop?"  She said, "Well, if it's not up here around this next corner, I think we have passed it."  Around the next corner there was nothing....so I turned around and went back towards town.  Then she said, "Well, you know I've never come from this directions before.  We must have missed it."  

"No problem", I said as we drove back again to Springtown.  So, here we go back through Springtown.  Valerie said that it was on the right side of the street, so we are now both looking at the right side.  All of a sudden, there it was....right across the street from Fairmont Rd!  We had been so busy laughing about not taking the short cut up Fairmont that we didn't even look to the left and completely missed it!  Good thing we weren't in a hurry!

Ahhhh....the not so secret life of a Realtor!
