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

Happy New House!!!!!!!!!!
Now what you need is storage and a camper to live in till you can move to your new place.
You are lucky to be able to have your windows open. It has been warm enough around here to go out without a jacket but not to have the windows open. As a matter of fact I have the furnace on again....I know I will be complaining about the heat soon but I wanted to have 1 month with no big gas bill and light bill before the A/C comes on...lol...
DH had to quick cut down the grass when we got home with all that rain....I told him it wasn't just tall it was like waves of grain....he didn't think that was funny...lol....Janet
Again congratuations on the condo and also on being married for 44 years..Happy Anniversary to you both.
Hugs Val
