Funny I don’t feel a thing this morning Guess I cried all my tears by Mary’s side Sad thing is that there’s a warehouse in my soul Where all the other tears are stored Locked up with the words I cannot find To tell you of my loss … what’s on my mind Sadness is…
Read MoreCaught up in the whirlwind
It feels as though I’ve been swooped up by a current and it’s a bit exhausting. I’m just about zapped of physical and mental energy and will be happy when we can truly celebrate the selling of our house and the buying of another. Our house was on the market three days and in those…
Read MoreQuick update
The inspection is done. Radon was found at high levels. Radon seems to be the new “mold”. Everyone fear it!! But, in all seriousness, it is found to be the #2 cause of lung cancer. Not good. So we’re proposing the current owners install a mitigation system (or reduce the cost – by whatever it…
Read MoreNo slowing down
The race continues. Today Tony comes over to take some pictures, have us fill out paperwork and I’d assume in a few days we’ll be ready to have the “For Sale” sign in our front yard. Today is the inspection of the new house. And sometimes Jerry (electrician) comes over to fix our broken doorbell,…
Read MoreMothers Day, motivation, inspiration and humiliation
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!Not much planned today. P.F. Changs. More house work, so that we can put the house “on the market” early as possible this week. A message for mothers everywhere — you are worth celebrating. Let your family or friends pamper you. Your worth is not measured in money, or accomplishments, or titles, or…

So, today there was one counter offer, one final approval on our part and the…
Read MoreNo turning back
There’s not turning back. The offer is “out there” now. Better still – our current house isn’t even on the market. Nope. Not even ready to show. We are idiots, but have this insane faith that it will sell fast (after we get things up to par to show — like clean our clutter, minimize,…
Read MoreOur final answer
Well, we looked at quite a few houses again today, and feel very solid about making an offer on the Wethersfield house. We actually were early to the showing and got to talk with the mom. Her daughter, Mary-Grace, goes to CHCA and is a friend of Abigails’. We found out about the neighborhood —…
Read MoreAnd the winner is…
Nothing yet. We do have a heavy favorite in Maineville. One drawback is a smaller, valley-like backyard that isn\’t bigger than what we have now – and it’s obviously a drainage river for the neighborhood. Disappointing, but not sure it’s enough to keep us from putting in an offer. Everything on the inside is near…
