So now the latest is that our 'buyers' have changed their mind and decided against buying our place. Now back to square one....
We found out they were planning to sell it again in a short time for a profit; not in this market, they won't.

Summer is waning....
Hard to believe that we are past the middle of August already. We have had one week or less of really hot weather, but here near the coast, we sometimes get our summer weather in September.
The packing goes on. I have most drawers and cupboards in boxes now. Except the kitchen and dining room. Closet shelves, etc. are packed. We still live day to day, not knowing when we will move. We have buyers now for our house. Cash buyers. They have offered very low and expect the mortgage company to counter back, but so far we have not heard of any decision.
It is a good feeling to know someone really wants our house. I am sorry they will get it for such a low price. The cost of the 1/3 acre and the cost of building our house was more than what we have been offered, but we have no say in that part. We are just glad we have gotten to stay here this long.
Now I am wondering why I have all these boxes of 'stuff' packed when we are doing very well living without what is in the boxes! I am having fun throwing things out, selling items to friends (for low prices). Why do we accumulate so much 'stuff!'
I haven't removed pictures off the walls yet, so it still looks like I haven't done anything towards a move, but that is deceiving. I have items in our dresser we need on a daily basis and in our nightstands by our bed that could be put in a box in 10 min. and it would be ready to go. My next project is to refine what is in the dresser drawers to even less in quantity.
No, I don't want to leave here. This is home. Who will feed the squirrels and birds? Will we see turkeys where we move to? Will it be so quiet you hardly hear a sound day or night? Not likely.
Life goes on..............
