Subject: Following Tucker Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 20:18:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Sally Greene To: Sarah Greene Tucker's messages are pretty self-explanatory at this point; he's doing it all himself with very little help. Paul's out mowing the grass. We finally may have sold our house, almost. We dropped our price $5,000 on condition that our contingent buyers drop theirs by the same amount, and miraculously they started getting a nibble or two. They think now they have a contract coming in; the inspection will be this weekend. Meanwhile we have another party looking seriously at our house. So we think something will happen soon. If the earlier people get suddenly serious as a result of their offer, they might even want to move in ASAP and pay us rent (= cover our mortgage) till they can close. That would be great. Tucker just told me I have ten "rows" of words--this is number 11. This is number 12, I am told. Tucker also wants to tell you that he did some water play at his playground today. He had a good time. The sprinkler looked like a fire hydrant with a hose hooked up to it. We got water from the puddles that it made. Lots of people put their bottoms on the sprinkler; Tucker did that only some. He also made some silly putty that had too much glue in it. It was too sticky. Like lollipops. Like jam. Tucker says bye bye now. See you later alligator, after a while crocodile. *********************************************************************** Sally Greene Visiting Scholar UNC-Chapel Hill "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." --Virginia Woolf, via *The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook*
