Yay! Escrow closed on the house in Woodland today.
It is a huge relief to have the transfer of ownership completed. We are
grateful for Placer Title's Bev Juarez and our real estate agent, Susan Bovey,
for getting everything done for us.
Also, to Kim Bullman for being a model tenant this past year and being
flexible during the home selling process. She moved into her new Sacramento home
this week.
The Atlantic reads my mind. An article popped up today, "How Not to Be
Bored When You have to Wait" written by Athur C. Brooks. The premise is
that people get bored standing in line or waiting for an event. Having a cell
phone to play/read does not help the "wait." It can, in fact, make it
seem even worse. The article has helpful tips on enjoying and staying in
the moment, while waiting, to reduce anxious feelings.
Joe took Caleb and Charlotte sledding this morning. One of the inflatable
slides was torn so Joe had them slide on cardboard. He said they enjoyed the
cardboard slides as much as they did the inflatables. I am not surprised. How
many of us, as parents, enjoyed watching our children play with empty
refrigerator boxes? Heck, I remember playing in refrigerator boxes!
I spent three hours today copying and pasting Weathered Blog entries to a
Word document on my laptop. I had not saved each entry after posting to the blog
website. It ends up taking more time than I anticipated because I find myself
unable to resist reading them. I am up to January 2024. I also am finding spelling
or grammar errors so making minor corrections as I go on the website postings. How
they got past me the first time is embarrassing. Live and learn.
Love you guys and your continued posts. it was never hilly where we lived. You had a great hill in Ney
ReplyDeleteThe hill in Ney WAS great for sledding. Thank you for the love - sending some back your way.
DeleteCongratulations! California does it quickly. It was 2-3 months between contract signing and closing in NYS. Very happy for all your exciting changes.
DeleteI would be a real basket case waiting two-three months. I know that in Minnesota it can also take longer. We will be at about 6 weeks when we close here. We wanted sooner but owners were traveling and asked for 2 more weeks.
