hello friends...
two weeks. two weeks since my last post.
i have missed being here, my life has been so very busy.
our home is in escrow.
2nd escrow, that is.
you see, when i last posted i said our house sold.
that was really a poor choice of words.
we all know a house isn't sold until close of escrow.
what i should have said is
we had eight offers on our house,
and we chose one.
**
they backed out.
**
no reason.
just decided they didn't want the house.
**
really?

my guess is that our old house was too old for them.
our home is 60 years old.
and it's darling.
it's been re-sided, re-painted, re-roofed, re-decorated, re-everything-ed.
while it is a good, solid house with everything working and functioning
i think they were a bit intimidated by owning an older home.
our realtor called the 2nd best offer we had received
and she was ecstatic the other buyer had backed out.
what a blessing.
so we are in a 2nd escrow, scheduled to close in 30 days.
in the meantime...
we have found a very nice rental and will be slowly but surely moving in.
it's on a lovely piece of property higher up in the foothills
lots of meadows, pine trees and blue sky...
i will be so happy to get moved and be settled again.
i haven't made any art for weeks.
i miss it terribly!
everything is packed away!
and there is no time for such indulgence anyway...
working, packing, cleaning...ugh!!
i can't complain though...only 25 more working days to go until my retirement!
then i will have nothing but time.

i can hardly wait.
