I have the house with the huge empty lot outside the fence, apparently my land but previous owner placed the fence within instead of around the whole lot (neighbor told Rick something to do with the town and "line of sight" but could have fought blah blah) ANYWAY my house is the one where the kids play and they can't get over the fence so door bell, can you toss over our football/soccer ball/basketball. I love owning a house, and I am not being sarcastic, I love that kids are out playing and balls come over my fence:)

I have really gotten away from the stock market, was an obsession for a few years. I guess I got bored or maybe it was all the (false) optimism all day on CNBC.

Well we bought a house and are moving in (slow process). Emily loves the screen porch and fenced yard, the cat is still traumatized by all of this. House is only a little bigger then my condo was but it feels huge to me, maybe the layout and garage. Rick and I went to get outside garbage cans and other "house" needs, I forgot about alll of that! He has to clean out the gutters, also new to me:)

Close today (I think)

Update, buyers are approved by HUD for FHA. New problem, the appraisal done in July has the WRONG address and is invalid, must be re-done-jeezzz

No close

Okay so new date 10/13, what a mess real estate has become. I am stuck in NJ

Getting close

Well we should close 9/15. CO done, we fixed what the buyer's inspector wanted fixed, and have been slowly packing. Lot's of stuff to good will and in the dumpster. I have 2 TV's I can't give away, maybe I can call Habititat for Humanity, they might want them. Taking very little as far as furniture, a couple tables. Our tomato plant got eaten by "tomato worms", we see it as a learning experience. We didn't see them until it was too late, they are the exact color of the leaves!
