"GOOD LUCK WITH THE HOME SALE."

We were at our favorite playground, The Enclave in Naperville.

It was a cool afternoon. Storm clouds were near, but not headed in our direction. The wind had picked up.

Erin was playing with Nicole while I sat on a bench with a sleeping Morgan.

There was a friendly woman sitting next to me.

"I love your daughter's outfit," she said as we walked up.

She was at the park with her two children who were 6 and 8 years old.

As we watched the kids play, we started chatting...

"We have our house on the market," she offered. "We have a buyer looking at it now."

"How is it going?" I ask.

"We have actually had a big increase in activity..."

"Did you change your price?" I ask.

"No. We have had it on since May and just recently had a pick up in activity. For awhile, nothing, but we have had four showings this week. One of our showings was back for the third time. I hope they make an offer..." her voiced faded off.

"Have you found a home yet?" I probed further.

"No. We have been looking for something bigger. We have a townhome now. It is just too small. We are staying in Naperville. My husband is from the area," she added.

About this time, the wind really picked up.

Her son, who was getting anxious, asked his mother if she would go on the swings with him.

As she got up to leave, she turned and said goodbye.

"Good luck on your home sale," I said with a smile.

It was a nice day at the park.
