I see Bren tried to confuse some of us

Sitting here at the computer with the window open and a male cardinal flew by the window. They are building a nest in our weeping cherry tree. The first cardinal nest that close to the house since we moved here 19 years ago. Another phase of life passing.
I wasn't going to say anything on the Board, but you know me. Can't keep my mouth closed. We DID sell the house and have to be out by the end of June. The condo we have purchased won't be available until the end of July. Can you imagine trying to find an economical place to live for a month in a tourist area? We will probably end up in some motel with cars up on blocks!
I am so happy for the couple who is buying our home. They have 3 children, and they returned 3 times to look the place over. They even know where they are going to put a fence to protect those kiddies. The last time they came to the house, the mom told the father, referring to the 2 children in the car, "they are NOT coming in here". I thought it was kind of cute, because once they move here, they WILL be in the house running on the light carpet and running their hands on the pale walls.
We left a "home" where our daughters raised, 19 years ago to move here. Moving to this county was a requirement of DH's employoment as Chief of Detectives. Our daughters never thought of this place as their home, which is one of the reasons I won't feel bad leaving. We are returning to the county where they grew up and 2 minutes away from the DD I babysit for.
So sorry for all of this talking, but I am very happy. The house was actually sold within 3 days of being put on the market. Guess we did a decent job in preparing it for viewing.
I love where we are moving to and we will be getting all new furniture. What we now own will be sold by ads in the newspaper.
Oh another thing. WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 44 YEARS TODAY. DH says it has been 44 years of "slavery", I tell him it has been 44 years of "sheer misery".. We will probably argue about it over a nice dinner. lol

It sure didn't take long to sell the house... that is for sure Good Luck in the New One and a new place for more wonderful memories too..
I hope your day is Fun and A Romantic Dinner with flowers and all... wren
Now you little stinker...you weren't going to tell us about the selling of your house? How long ago did this transaction take place? That is wonderful that you sold in such a short time. You will certainly be on busy bug the next few months. So glad you found a condo you are happy with and to be so close to your DD...that is great.
Hugs...Pab
p.s. I think Brenda was excited about celebrating Mother's Day early...this eve with her DS. ;o)

My dad always said that birds naturally choose the cleaner, healthier environments. With the cardinals moving in, it must be a sign that being your neighbor is a good thing.
Now, Lanie, I was trying to make a big deal about today being Friday, sort of like a New Year's Eve. It was a TGI(going to be)F. Oh well, it worked for me. L
Enjoy your dinner and your day.
Congratulations on 44 years of wedded bliss! You both picked well, didn't you? Have a wonderful dinner tonight, and a sunny weekend. We can tell you are happy, and happiness is contagious, dontcha know! So thanks! Seren
I hesitated to put it on the Board, just because. It is kind of like telling the world because of all the lurkers out there. We surely are pleased and it has lifted a lot of tension in this house between the two of us.
Our condo is all one floor attached to 3 other "adult" homes. No lawn tending, but plenty of lawn and trees there. Our unit is off the street, which we like. Kind of towards the woods. The activity center is beautiful and large. An enormous outside pool and a smaller one inside, but olympic sized. DGD says she is going in one of those pools the day we move. Grands can swim there between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. I think that is very reasonable.
Pab, we are very happy and know we will enjoy our lives there.
