Well, closing was on Thursday and the house is no longer mine. After what seemed like forever with the water damage, etc, etc, the house got on the market in late August or early September and closed November 10. I am so pleased that it went pretty quickly, and the buyers got a great deal. They seem to particularly like the yard, which was Sally's pride and joy. I'm so glad that someone wanted it who would appreciate what she did. Most people probably would bring in a bulldozer and put in a pool.
Very gradually, I am getting the new condo organized and the final boxes unpacked. One of these days, I may post some pictures.
I'll be going to California for Thanksgiving with Craig's family like last year. Should be fun. Leaving on Saturday November 19.
