Things no one ever said to me...
Wow....Tom (New London landlord)called to say he would be working on the heat downstairs. He wanted to give me fair warning in case our heat went kaput. While he was chatting however, he said he really had to thank Greg and I. hhhmmm....yes? Well apparently some of his other tenants are less than meticulous in their housekeeping. snort. I was soooo excited...no one ever complimented me on my housekeeping before...nope, no Seals of Approval from Good Housekeeping or anything!
Of course, I demurred and thanked him..well, actually I burst out laughing and told him he must have rented to a bunch of real losers if I look good. I reminded him that we were the people with the 20 cubic yard dumpster last summer in Vermont.
Of course he loves us...First of all, we give him money, we don't live here...we have very little of our own stuff here...we aren't here but 10 days a month and we don't complain or rack up extra expenses! What's not to love...maybe I'll dust and vacuum the place today.
Guilt is a powerful thing isn't it?

Strange, but that's the same reason why I love our landlord - he's never around. :)

Ha! I never thought about that! I bet our tenant feels that way about us too...we are never home!

Our landlord loves us because we have been here almost five years, and everyone else is moving out (the rental market in Seattle has tanked for the first time in years).
