A Tour of our Maine Home

We have less than a week left in Maine, then we are headed back to North Carolina for a couple of weeks, then home to Texas! It’s hard to say which of the places we’ve visited has been the “best”. They are all the best in one way or another,...

A Quick Tour of our Massachusetts Home

We are about half way through our stay here in Arlington. Our home is was built in the 1830s! The owners divide their time between this house and their house at Cape Cod. Must be nice! Anyway, Dale and I are renting the back part of the home for the...

West Asheville Charm?

Today is our last full day in Asheville. Tomorrow we pack up and head north to the DC area. Staying one month in a single location has been enjoyable. We can finally find our way home without GPS! I wouldn’t say we’ve learned to navigate all the town’s crazy streets,...

We Sold Our House!

At this moment I’m sitting on a friend’s back porch while Dale works in the “Bumble Bee” room. In the last 24 hours we sold our home of 20 years, and my car of nine years. All of our worldly positions now fit in a storage unit and a car!...

When the Music Stops

While the music is playing, participants go around and around and around, preparing to take a seat as soon as the music stops. This “musical chairs” analogy comes to mind as I consider that every one in my immediate family is in the process of moving, or preparing to move....

We Have a Closing Date!

So it really did only take one weekend to sell our home. We listed our house on a Thursday, signed a contract on the following Monday. The inspector came on Tuesday, and today, one week later, the appraiser is coming. I can’t imagine our house will appraise for the actual...
