As a Real Estate Agent I tend to work most weekends. Those lucky people who work Monday to Friday only have the weekend to look at homes. Don’t get me wrong, I do like meeting and working with serious buyers and showing them the next place that they will live.
And Sundays are the best time to hold an open house. Even though I run them from 1 to 3 pm it takes a couple of hours before hand to get ready, load up the signs and get to the house 15 – 30 minutes before opening time to set up.
By the time I get home it pushing 4ish. I’m beat, it’s cold, perhaps rainy and soon it will be snowy. The sun has started to retreat, it’s a bit dreary and the day is dragging .
But Nancy has the back door opened as I trundle in, briefcase and files in hand. And then it hits me. Its the smell of home. Nancy has been a busy bee working all afternoon in the kitchen. The delicious smell of a beef roast in the oven hits my nose, the pot of boiling potatoes have steamed up my glasses and hey do I smell fresh baked bread and apple pie!
Every ounce of stress drains away.
Its Sunday afternoon in the kitchen and I’m home.
P.S. If you don’t have a kitchen like this please remember that I sell kitchens. But it’s up to you to make it a Sunday afternoon kitchen!
