Hmmmmmmmmm.......

I hate having to come up with Titles! You just want to write something but don't want to necessarily put a title on it. When you write in a diary or journal you don't have to title the page. You feel the pressure to be creative and funny but it comes up lacking.

I finished "Silent in the Sanctuary" by Deanna Raybourn. It was a sequel to "Silent in the Grave", but once again, I don't remember since it's been a while. Fortunately it didn't hinder the reading of this book too much. The setting is England in the 1800's. Main character is Lady Jane Grey who teams up with Nicholas Brisbane in both books to solve murders. The murder took place right under their noses in Jane's ancestorial home (a former Abbey). Not only a murderer in the house but there's a jewel thief, too, which makes it an even better read.

The showing of properties to the new clients went well yesterday. They are a very nice young couple and should be fun to work with. We only saw 5 out of the 7 that they originally wanted to see. One was sold and the other had an owner who just wasn't into letting their house be seen yesterday morning. Crazy people to think that way in this market. We saw two houses built around 1990 and the young guy thought they were too dated. WOW! He's the cook in the house so if the kitchen wasn't to his liking it wasn't up for consideration. Guess I'd be okay with that! It was interesting to see how many of these new homes are built without yards. They either fall off a cliff in the back or go up hill. That was the problem with the first house. You would have had to build a very large deck to have any levelness at all in the backyard. They left me to go home and think about two of the properties and check out the score cards that they brought along to rate the properties. How funny!
