Three Ringy Dingies

Our very lazy first day in Shingletown has been punctuated by three very encouraging rings.

Cell phone service here is spotty. But, thankfully, we have wi-fi. So, first thing this morning we emailed our real estate agent to let her know how to best reach us. 

Actually, the cell phone service is cruelly spotty. The phone will ring, we answer, then after a word or two the call is dropped. Yes, it's very frustrating.

The "arrangement" that realtors in our area have with sellers is they will call the seller's listing phone number anytime they want to show the property. If there is no answer, they "leave a message and go." So, when Boris' phone rang this morning with an unfamiliar home area code phone number, we let it ring. An hour or so later, another call from an unfamiliar number. Again, we let it ring. Later this afternoon, phone call number three came in. Once more, we let it ring.

We hopped in the Jeep and drove a few miles into "town" where facilities are few but cell service is strong. We picked up the messages left on his cell phone: Three showings scheduled for today! 

Yee hah! Three showings on Day #2 has to be a good sign. Doesn't it?

We'll definitely keep you posted.
