Our day at the Horse Race!



Yesterday, one of the families interested in the house, invited us to the race tracks that are connected to a big casino. The husband is a professional jockey at 5'5" weighing 125 lbs with his gear and saddle. It was exciting to see him come in first multiple times with the attending patrons cheering for their horse of choice. We sat in the VIP section with all of the big Texan high rollers. It was an ethereal experience similar to what might be seen in a movie. Some of the horses names were quite comical while others were slightly offensive or obscene. "Beaner Beaner" caught my attention. If I was a betting man, all of my Pesos would have been on that horse. We were also invited to go down to the track and take this picture with Freddy and his family after he won. If all goes well, this family will be the new owners of our house. They made us an offer today that is only a little lower than what we posted. We have had lots of traffic lately since we had an open house with all the Realtors. Once people found out about us getting an offer, traffic almost doubled. I just had a Realtor come by right now while typing. With the market as bad as it is, someone out there must have heard our prayers.
