My daughter’s house here in Virginia Beach has a contract after only 3 weeks. They should close the end of this month.

It sold for much less than it should have but they can make it work. But finally we are done with painting, major cleaning and repairs. The buyers had already been pre-approved for the loan.

I am sitting here waiting for the home inspection to be done. Then we have to get thru the appraisal and we are done.

Move date is the day of closing and I’ll be going back to GA. The girls may come visit with me for a couple of weeks while Gentle Hands and Computer Guy find a house in AZ

This is a great thing and a sad thing. I am happy they are moving to a place I think they will love. CG is already there and loves it and loves his job. But so sad to realize that they are so far away and there’s no driving for a day to get there and flights are very expensive. But they are pursuing their life’s desires and it’s all good.

I never want to see another paint can. It seems like we have been painting most of the time since I got here in Feb. The houselooks very nice with all its fresh paint.

We found out that we don’t need Kilz for the walls. After buying about 3 or 4 cans of Kilz and priming the walls, we finally ran out. and we still had about half of a 5 gallon bucket or a little over of the wall paint.. So we decided we’d put two coats of the paint on the wall instead of buying more Kilz. This was a blue wall and afer we got done paiting and let it dry we looked at it and realized we didn’t need the second coat.

It even covered the pink/peach walls in my room in one coat. Rider’s room was white so it was no problem covering that.

I’d suggest in the future of trying a spot on the wall to see if it will cover in one coat. Certainly could have saved ourselves time and money if we had known this before.

Looks lilke we’ve sold the house here in VA. within a month or so GH, Dancer and rider will be going to Phoenix while GH goes to naturopathy school. Computer Guy is already out there and loves it. He is looking at houses now.

The listing on the GA house has expired, but we will relist it and think positive thoughts.
