The country property had a hiccup over the property line. Survey #2 is now incoming and should be a go. Still, the driveway near the road must be moved over and all of this means another delay in the purchase. My keys go to our buyer on September 1, 2022. Not only do...
The city house sold today. That's the first big (really big) step to getting back where we were before. I'll have photos from the closing, but they haven't been sent to me yet. In the meantime... I'll share something I found when going through the MANY things saved...
I don't hate the city house... I've said before... it's a GREAT house. It's all brick, energy efficient, and it's a good size. It's not huge, but certainly not small either. If you're a city person and want a house in a fabulous neighborhood, it's a wonderful choice....

I will soon be accepting applications for a professional landscaper. We will be in desperate need of one by next spring. I figure I can spray weeds to finish up this year, but there's a ton of work that will have to be done next year. My friend, Julie -- the one...
Today I bought a place to live. It's not really "conventional," but it sort of fits. I've already shared these photos on whatifitdid.com, but want them here too. I've been saying I wanted to downsize and that didn't happen exactly. The new place has more living space,...
