Did we sell the house???

Well we certainly hope so! after 8 long months on the market, dealing with a crazy lady, and cutting the price to the bone, we finally got an offer. So far, so good, and everything is on track to close the first week of June.  Then we'll close on our house in Lake Arrowhead, Waleska, GA 2 days later.
The house, (our last one, I should add) is very similar to the one we're in now, except it's on a full daylight basement. I'll get my wood work shop back, Carolyn will have a full craft room, and plenty of room for finishing off a family room, full bath, etc.  By road we're probably 2 miles from the lake nestled in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, we've never understood why these mountains are labled so since there are no mountains in South Georgia?? Even though the house will eventually have much more living space the price is about $50k less than what we're in, taxes are lower, and so are the utilities.
Best of all, we're within 20 min. of family.
It's hard not to get excited, there's too many things that can go wrong before closing and we have to go through 2 of them, but, we're packing boxes anyway!

Easter Sunday

This is a little late, but better than never! We had a nice visit from Ashley, Josh, Tinsley, Rebecca and Carolyn's sister Anita. Carolyn out did herself again with a great meal. Not much in the new category. We have been showing the house with lots of great feed back but no offers still, a terrible economy has about killed the real estate market in the southeast. Strange how retirement has us busier than not being "retired," Carolyn is busy prepping for her classes coming up and I've been doing more and more "consulting" when not turning wood into saw dust :) Here's some pics... I noticed a theme, I guess Tinsley,Becca and Carolyn were the only ones there!

Gadgets gadgets!

Well this week was "normal",  Carolyn's old iphone 3g that I inherited needed a new battery, it can be replaced easily! That part is true but putting it back together turned out to be a technician's job, a couple of lost screws and other problems proved to be too much. Good thing I still have my old flip phone. This morning the internet connection was not working. Comcast charged me $40.00 to tell me our wireless router was bad. Another $40.00 at Walmart for another (better) router and a few cuss words setting it up and it works great now. I think if it plugs in, I need to stay away from it for awhile :)
Summer is over and Spring is back, we're in the 50s in the morning and warming to the mid 70s during the day, we're enjoying this.
Expecting Ashley, Josh, Tinsley and Rebecca today for an Easter dinner. I'm getting hungary already. Hope this finds everyone well!
Happy Easter!
