My parents' house is on the market, and has been now for a little bit. They found out Monday morning there was interest in an afternoon showing. Since they both worked on Veteran's Day, my mom asked me to rake and clean up.
I know my mom's concerned about staying on top of all of the raking. She thinks a yard full of leaves could scare people away. But the longer I was out there, the more I noticed how many varieties of trees they have on their property. Some still had beautiful leaves hanging, so I clipped a few to bring inside.
Well, Trader Joe's is on the way to their house, so I stopped and got a couple of things that I would want to walk in and see at a house showing.
This bouquet from Trader Joe's has eucalyptus in it. Instead of having a candle lit during the showing, I was hoping the plants would make the house smell nice.
Also on the way to my parent's house is my Grandpa's house. G is a WWII veteran and our normal tradition is to hang out on Veteran's Day, usually we go to lunch. This year, though, he already had plans which involved seeing Thor (sorry, G, I love ya, but I have to draw the line somewhere). Since I knew he was going to be out of the house, I made him some muffins and also bought him a goodie at Trader Joe's. Then I broke in to leave him his treat.

| These muffins are so good! I make them every week for an in-between-smoothie-and-lunch snack. The glass pitcher behind them is also amazing. I mix everything right in the bowl and then just pour the batter into the muffin tins. |
Thanks for your service, Gpa, and to all the other vets :)
