This missive is so off-topic and long that I apologize ahead of time. I guess I’m feeling like Linda did a couple weeks ago…this is such a wonderful and safe place to vent, complain and share. So here goes.
Things are moving so fast and I’ve been neglectful of the forum, but you guys just carry on anyway, so all is good!
A week ago Monday (the 19th) we signed papers listing the house. Wednesday, we came over to Wenatchee for 2 weeks. Tuesday, the 27th, we got word from the realtor that a couple was very interested and would probably make an offer. The offer came in and we accepted it with some stipulations – they wanted everything we were willing to leave with the house. And, that’s what’s been going back and forth since.
But, to all intents and purposes the house is sold already. Our realtor hooked us up with a gal over here and we spent one morning looking at places and that’s when I really started getting upset. I thought we were moving too fast and we would end up doing/buying something we’d be sorry for later.
Yesterday morning, we sat down and talked and decided to stay with the original plan and travel for a year (or however long we want), then look for a place. Who knows, we could find a different town and/or state we’d rather live in…who knows??
So for 3 hours yesterday, I calmed down and things were fine. Then we get a call from the realtor here asking, had we ever thought of a barn?????????????????????? Some of you know we left California from living in a barn for 12 years and we spent the most part of the last 30 years raising pigs, chickens, cattle, rabbits,……….
Now, Roy is ecstatic and so ready to go buy a barn and go from there. We were already into b’day celebrations yesterday when we got the call, so no way were we getting on the road then.
Guess what we’re doing this morning – hope he lets us have breakfast before heading out the door!!!!
So, that’s my sad/happy tale of woe/excitement and I’m back on the roller coaster.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
