Out of the blue!!

We did it!!  We accepted an offer on our house last week!! 

Didn't even know we had a potential buyer, did you?  Well, neither did we!!  This buyer is out of the country, returning to Michigan next month, and saw our video tour online, but has never seen the house in person.  Our Realtor shocked the heck out of us when he called with the CASH offer last week, no contingencies . . . now signed and a "done deal"!  We close on May 15th, and he wants immediate occupancy!!

We're waiting to hear back if he is going to purchase our furniture as well (a definite possibility that would take a big load off our to-do list!), but we're getting busy with purging everything else -- sorting out the stuff that will go into the RV, and what we need to sell, give to friends or family, or donate.

This weekend we were going to my mom's house, so I went through my fabric stash and took four boxes of it for my sisters to go through and pick what they wanted.  Dee and Tina had fun, and even did a little wrestling over particularly desirable pieces of fabric -- too bad I didn't have my camera on me!  (Dee & Tina -- the boys think you are now officially NUTS!)

On the agenda for next weekend is the kitchen!

  3. Congratulations on the great news! We know it's taken forever but like us it just took the right person to see it and that's it. Timing is just about right for the start of the camping season as well.

    Hoping our paths will cross again this year. Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
