Thank you, SoccerMom...I become more & more excited by the day. Even the air smells different at 'home'. To answer your question, the house has 2500 sq.feet. It'll definitely make do for a few years.  :smile:


And for those of you domesticated folks, I'll be tapping into your resources...the back yard has 2 pear trees, apple trees and oodles of Raspberry bushes. YUM!

Oh, and a garden plot -- I can't wait to try my hand at growing cucumbers and tomatoes!


And, hey, if you don't have much luck, plant zucchini. The plant that keeps on giving.

I had so many that nobody wanted any more. So I took some old Christmas wrappiing paper and wrapped them up in boxes. Drove to the Millcreek Mall, parked the car, and left it unlocked.

VOILA'!! Somebody stole all of them. Problem solved.

Thanks, CP, Pope & FTW...I will heed the good words and positive energy as we become both "Buyers" AND "Sellers"! The FL house is now officially on the market.

<fingers crossed>

We are hopeful it sells in the next 3 months...optimists that we are, double mortgages could hurt!  :biggrin:

WOW!  Moving to the great WHITE north--ha, ha!  You will have to trade in the riding lawnmower for the riding snowblower!  I am sooooooo jealous--so sick of the heat here in the land of 50--sure do miss the autumn and the changing of the leaves.  Please take a pic of the first snowman you build and post it for me!   :biggrin:
If you don't have anything nice to say then come over here and sit by me!

I'm with ya, sister! Where are you located in the great US?

I simply CAN'T wait to watch my girls play in the snow & make that snowman with them. Pictures WILL be posted, Tallulah!

And yes, husband is already pricing snowblowers! :biggrin:

It'll be so wonderful to go home...it feels like I've been on a REALLY long, extended vacation.  You now how wonderful it is the first few days when you go to an exotic location...the smells are crisp, the room is inviting, the new corners to explore...but, after about the 3rd day you start to yearn your own bed, the towels dont' quite feel as soft, and you can't find a restaurant that quite compares to your favorite back home? And by the last day of vacation, you RUN to the airplane, train, bus, or car?

Well, that's what I have experienced...and it will be great to land. :smile:

Nope.  And I have thin blood.  I'm up in Washington, DC on business travel right now.  It's 53 degrees outside and I'm freezing my arse off.

That's what wool sweaters & ski jackets are for!  :wink:

Nothing better than cuddling up by a warm fire or snuggling with a fuzzy blanket...

...Only time you can do that down here is when you set the central air on 60. ;D

At this point, provided the rest of the deal goes as scheduled (e.g. title history comes back clear, etc.) - we are looking to close at the end of October & we'll make the big move a week or so after husband has painted the house we're buying!

Thanks for asking. :smile:


(hey, would you like a home away from it all? central FL -- convenient location :wink:)
