Fingers are crossed! It¡¯s been decades, but we did that ¡°two house payments¡± thing for way too long. It¡¯s a killer. ? Sounds as tough things are moving in the right direction! ? ?

Ann I¡¯m not sure we¡¯ve found our dream property, but it does fit our needs very well. ? Moving is a PITA but we are going to take our time. ?We bought a cargo trailer that will be fantastic for the sewing machines, looms, wheels, etc. For our furniture, I¡¯m thinking of hiring that done. ? The house we just made an offer on is already empty, so we can move things at our own pace. ?Having 2 house payments isn¡¯t fun but we need the time to fix things inside here and stage this one to sell. ? Keep your fingers crossed ?? for us! Connie ? Don¡¯t envy you the move, even if it adds value to your life. I swore that this would be my last move when we sold the house in WV and moved back to PA. First couple of years, it was a dream, but now that we¡¯ve been here 32 years (as of this month), it¡¯s my reality. ? Anyway, fingers crossed that you find your dream property and a price that pleases you and that the move is smooth! ? ? ? What a haul!!! ? Congratulations! My knitting/crafting mojo has left the building. ? Sigh. ? We¡¯ve been so busy this summer that I haven¡¯t even had time to imagi-knit
Early this spring, we decided to look for a place in the country with acreage. ? DH wants a garden and room to build his workshop. ? I completely understand that. ? I¡¯m cool with it. ? But it¡¯s darn hard to find a place that will house my sewing machine collection, spinning wheels, weaving looms, and craft/fabric/yarn stash. ? During our search, we found a place my daughter loved with 1.5 acres. ?She¡¯s wanted to get out of town as well. ?So, we spiffed it up and put the rental up for sale (sold in 3 days) and bought that. ?It needed work, so we¡¯ve been busting ourselves to get that done to get her moved in before the closing on our rental. ?Had to move grandsons Playset/jungle jim thing. Thank goodness my BIL has a trailer and equipment. ? All during this process, I¡¯ve been looking for a place for us and setting up contractors to do stuff here like exterior paint, paver work, etc. ? It¡¯s been a whirlwind but I think we have found the right place for us. Gotta start the negotiations. ?Cross your fingers for us! ?If we get it, it will be months of moving things, not a week like Katie. ?Don¡¯t think we have that in us again. Lol.? ? We went to t he fair on Thursday to check out how well (or not) I did. Very pleased to report that every single entry placed! ? I got 22 first place, 12 second place, and 5 third place ribbons. Quite the haul. ? As always, I was surprised by some of the places, like my felted purse. (It is a ¡°dumpling¡±¡ªa square with straps that through clever folding and strappage, becomes a small handbag. It was all opened up and displayed flat<?>. Placed 3rd). My infant blanket (Old Shale white baby shawl) was displayed wrong-side out. Whatever. ? Anyway, that¡¯s the story on the competition. ? We had planned to eat there, but the smells were overwhelming (and not in a good way). No one was eating. . . 2 bottles of water. $6. But the weather was beautiful. There were a couple of vendors at the far edges that were selling Confederate flags and such, and one that offered photos by what supposedly was the sign from a former Atlantic City casino and a cardboard cut-out of the former owner of said casino. We declined. ? ? Ann in PA ?
