It’s a Miracle!
How many people can honestly say that they put their house
on the market to sell one day and got 5 offers the next day!!!???
It’s true! Peter listed his condo for sale last Friday; and
by Saturday night there had been 8 couples by to see it. Five of those sent us
an offer! One even said that they would pay $1,000 more than anyone else’s
reasonable offer! It was definitely a “feel good” day! We accepted an offer of
$7,000 more than we were asking! Done! We are to close on September 6th!
While all this was going on, I went to visit Julie, John and
baby Jillian. We had a wonderful lunch, and I felt really bad when I left, and
Jillian wanted SO BADLY to go with me. I had to make myself walk away from her
bawling at the front door.
From there, I went to have supper with Monica. I gave up the
idea of tennis when I saw Monica’s face. She looked exhausted, and she said she
had had a really long and trying day as a nanny for 4 children ages 7-12. I
sent her up to take a good shower, and as you can see in the picture, she came
back down a new woman! We went to Seed
Restaurant, a new place that her parents had recommended to me. We shared a
peach salad and a pasta dish, then a wonderful prosecca gelato with goat cheese
flan. It was definitely our kind of meal!!! The super food, paired with great
conversation made for a splendid evening. Thanks, Monica, I enjoyed the evening
and was glad we could solve the world’s problems together!
On Sunday, we celebrated Kyle’s 28th birthday by
having all the “kids” over for Sunday Supper. Peter was in his usual rare
cooking form, and the prociutto, salmon and pasta dishes were superb! Thanks
for the addition of the roasted vegetables, Jill, and the birthday cake,
Victoria! We always enjoy our Sunday Suppers with the family!
We’ll be ready to list our house on the market next Monday,
and I’m SURE that it will sell in one day, too. As my mother would say…”We’ll
see!”
