Whooo Hooo

I've had a serious, CASH offer for the store on Main Street from a local businessman. A big WHOO HOOO for me!! The RE agent is very sure it will go through. The buyer wants no inspection -- he knows about the structural damage -- and no inspection is needed because he's paying cash. Again another big WHOO HOOO!! All that needs to be done is a title search. Anticipated closing is before the end of this month.

The price for any buyer is good. It's been lowered many many times since first going on the market in November 2006. Oh well. I personally haven't put too much money into it so whatever I get after paying RE agent and attorney will be much appreciated.

Em spent this weekend downstate with her daddy. He's bringing her up this morning, and I'll meet them at soccer. I've missed my Grand Girl, while at the same time being grateful for the break of not having her Thursday. Even today will be a break because she won't come down for an overnight.

I put my free time to good use. Have cleared out a lot of stuff in Ron's Clock Room. Little by little things are getting done. As time goes on, though, I am less inclined to do the work myself and am thinking seriously about hiring somebody to finish up. Now that the store has sold (knock on wood), I'll have some extra money.

I daydream a lot about selling the house and moving back where I came from. It's only 35 miles, but it's a different world. I'll be much closer to Em. I'll be close to stores and shopping and my doctor. I certainly am hoping by next fall I'm in a new place, but something inside is saying it will be the fall of 2011 before I'm up there, just as Em starts kindergarten (YIKES!!)

Weather - It's been really cold, but nothing unusual for this time of the year. Spring is 10 weeks away yet, but time is going so quickly that it will be here before we know it.
