Just to let you all know, Mom and I sold the house yesterday. At least we got $500 earnest money for the sale. A few of you may know the couple that bought it. His name is Trampus Mansker; her name is Bonnie Quilter. I think they are planning to get married soon. They came to look at the house on Friday and called to make an offer on Saturday. We had it posted for $220,000 and took an offer of $216,000. At first Mom wanted to hold out for the full $220, but Nicole told us about a new development that is going in soon and will have over 40 houses right in our price range. We decided on the "bird in the hand."
We really are going to miss this wonderful house. Many memories are here as well as some super room upgrades and wood floors that Nicole and Theo installed for us in our back rooms. Nicole is an unbelievably great carpenter. Who knew???
And even more painfully, we are going to miss all of the Martins when we move. I guess we'll just have to visit very often.
I'm getting very close to retirement. June 1st is the date. This month and next I have 3 big Spring Training meetings to do. It will be my last big assignment... except they just informed me that they want me to re-do the Houseboat video for our seasonal renters.
Once I retire, I'll start to move items in earnest. Thanks to John's horse trailer, the task will be very manageable and easy to do, even alone. Our final move will be at the end of June, on the weekend of June 30th. If any of you find you have nothing to do, we could probably put you to work loading and unloading.
Love you all!
Dad
