Selling the Home Base?

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.

I really had no intentions of posting this for a few more days but I keep getting these little comments from Sassy and Bennie so thought it best to get this posted.  I wanted to make sure everything was really finalized first and money was in hand but here is the news.

It’s sold!

Buyers wanted us to leave as much as we would.

This just never happens.  It absolutely never happens.  Remember in a post a week or so ago we were tossing around the idea of selling our property with the cabin on it?  Remember that?  Well, we did think about it that day.  Terry mentioned it to a sales person that we might want to sell it.   She showed the property to a prospective buyer the very next day.  The people she showed it to made a ~~ CASH ~~ offer on it.  We hadn’t even signed the listing agreement yet.  Did we accept the offer?  You bet we did.  We had thought we'd be stuck looking at contract offers.  We’re not fools and cash offers don’t come every day.  However, we didn’t really want to post it until the final papers had been signed and buyers had paid the funds.    We didn’t want Murphy and all his laws to show up so we just kept our mouths shut.  It was sold before it was listed.

Some things stayed and some things went.

Selling the cabin meant work.  We had to clean it out and we had to clean it out faster than we had intended to.  The good thing is that they wanted most of the furniture in it so we didn’t have to move some of the big things.  We made a couple trips.  We've been pretty busy people and it's been hard keeping up with everyone else!!

On our first trip we loaded the truck and even took our sign.  We got sad faces from a couple of our trees but they’ll have new people to watch over.

Our next trip we loaded the barbecue, the canoe, the little freezer and the wheel barrel.  We were done except for our part of signing the paperwork.  We were able to do that today (Saturday}.

A couple deer came to check on what we were doing.  Meet Eloise.

We were lucky and we were thrilled.  It was easy.  There aren’t many this easy.  It’s not that we didn’t like the little hideaway in the hills.  We did.  It was just a ways to go to anyplace on a very windy uphill road.  Well, there were quite a few other reasons too.

Hearing the news that we were leaving, a few more deer came to see us off!

 

Does that mean we will no longer have a homebase?    Not necessarily!!

Will we have a new home for our sign?

I’m sure there will  be a P.S. blog to this one at sometime in the future.  Nothing goes smooth and even though the cabin sold quick, easy and effortless, we’ve certainly learned a lot again on the purchasing end  ... yet, again.

Ho hum?

Hum ho?

Is there another Hideaway in our future?

Today was signing day and the new owners were already in place.  We had told them they could move onto the lot the night before.  Terry just had to show them the connections and they needed to know a little more about the pellet stove.

New folks with a new homebase.

So, this is the news.  Papers have been signed but we don't have money in hand yet.


‘Tis life on the road.
