SPRUCE UP THE OUTSIDE

Spruce Up the Outside!


What did I tell you? The condo listed one day, and the next day we accepted one of the 5 offers! Now, maybe there weren’t 5 offers, but Tuesday of this week we listed our house to sell. Yesterday, a couple came to see it, and…YOU GUESSED IT! WE HAVE AN OFFER! We have to respond to that one by 5pm on Friday. And, we have another couple coming today and another coming tomorrow. We’re looking forward to at least a 3-way war of who wants this house the most! Peter and I are just settling back and watching it happen. It’s really quite entertaining!

PLUS, Peter advertised his Porsche on Auto Trader this morning http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?searchRadius=0&listingId=352336475
and within an hour, he had someone to call with interest in it! We’re definitely on a roll here! Actually, as I write this, he just got a second call, and that person made an appointment to come and see the car! Yippee! Go, Thelma!

So, yesterday we received an invitation to have a fabulous dinner at Paul and Linda Parisi’s house in Decatur and discuss further their plans for a splendid wedding trip in Italy. We took that opportunity to go to Decatur a few hours early just to look at the advertised condos in the area. That was great fun and gave us an idea of where to start WHEN we have both the condo and the house sold. Now, we might consider that we will be homeless if we’re not careful! We’d rather rent with money in hand while we look for a place to buy than to risk buying a house without the cash.

It will all work out for the best. Still, keep your fingers crossed for us!
