Sold, Bought, Homeless & Moving

Yes, we were so blessed to have sold the house. The appraisal came in at the selling price so that confirmed the transaction for us. Closing will be this Friday at 3pm.

Yesterday, we had a huge yard sale. Greg sold his riding lawn mower, yard tools, gardening tools and many, many more items. It was a success.

After returning from our wonderful trip from Denver, we decided to buy the villa. By the way, to us it is a condo but they say it is a villa. Not sure what the difference is but whatever. It is a new villa so we are able to pick out all the colors, flooring, appliances, hardware and lighting. There are 2 villas to a building. We are the villa on the left of the building. On the back, you will see a covered porch and patio the length of the villa. It is sort of on a hill so we look down onto the walking trail. We were thrilled to have the trees behind us for privacy. Here are a few pics.




























We are moving out this Saturday. Everything will go into 2 pods and delivered to the villa. They will set there for 2-3 weeks until villa is complete. In the meantime, Greg, gizmo and myself are homeless. HA! I have a client that has offered for us to stay at her place while she is gone on vacation for a week. Then some of our best friends (Debbie & Wesley) have offered for us to stay with them a week, too. Eddie and Pam are going on vacation for a week as well and we are house sitting for them. So hopefully, we will be ready to move in by the time Eddie and Pam get home from Texas.
It is all so exciting but a bit stressful. Greg will be traveling some with work so I'm going to try to go with him some. This will allow the time to pass for us quickly. I will continue my business by making house calls. This isn't fun but will keep my clients happy and me an income. HA!

Last but not least, after the yard sale we had a family reunion to attend.
This was for Greg's mother's side of the family.
Here is a picture of him and his Aunt Margaret.
She looks just like his mom but they aren't twins.

You can expect more pics as construction is completed.
