We're thinking positively!

We have two (2) !!!! prospects who seem seriously interested in our house that we have on the market. We are so excited - and amazed - since it's been on the market only 5 weeks. Realistically, we're acutely aware that the prospects could both fall through, but we're buoyed by having GOOD news for a change. Just wanted to share our news - it would be great if you could cross your fingers, say a prayer, send up a balloon - whatever. I'll keep you updated.

One of these days soon.....

One of these days soon, this blog is going to change to a blog that doesn't center around a housing crisis! We are definitely moving along, and I think the blog should reflect that. At this point, we have our old house on the market (and we have a prospect!). Cross your fingers, send up a prayer, whatever......we are hopeful that perhaps this person will send us an offer. At the new house, continue to unpack and settle in. Our energy has been limited because of the year + scope of this housing effort, but we're getting there! There are still details (many, many) to be finished by the contractor. His crew will be coming in soon. We're in the beginning stages of working with our attorney. All in all, I'd say that we're doing very well. Another "return to normal" sign is that we'll be having Evan (our grandson) each Wednesday beginning the end of this month. We had to take a break from keeping him because of the move. Can't wait for his smiling face to be in our home again! One of our first goals after the old house sells and the finishing is done on this house will be to take a vacation. It hasn't seemed at all like summer to us, as we've been stuck right here dealing with one project or another. We'll probably opt for going to New Mexico and checking on our house there. Hope to hear from you too!
