Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’….Moving Days are Here!
Just a note for those kind souls who read this blog regularly: We sold our house! Yep, it looks like it’s really going through this time. This is the third buyer we’ve had. Looked like it had gone twice before but capriciousness and just plain dirty dealings characterized those broken contracts. Yikes! I had no idea people were willing to behave so dishonorably in what should be simple transactions. Both previous buyers signed contracts with us only to break them giving flimsy excuses. We later found out that both of these parties kept looking for properties after they’d signed contracts with us and the one party it turns out, had signed contracts with TWO other home-sellers! (and they talk about the sellers being dishonest!) How nasty is that?
Either you like the house, buy it and keep to the deal, or you don’t make a bid in the first place. People make plans on the strength of such contracts. We did, and had looked feverishly for houses to rent. Thank goodness both ersatz buyers backed out before we had signed a rental contracts. Our third and hopefully final buyer loves the house, is delighted with what I did with the gardens (an English country manor paradise complete with an herb corner, thirteen fruit trees and eleven different rose varietals) and is very eager to move in. Escrow closes soon, very soon. Thank goodness.
So we are in this very interesting place where we are looking, looking, looking 
for the right place to rent for awhile. Impossible to think of buying given only 15 days to find a place, but have a line on several good looking properties…if we can only get there before they’re snatched up! It’s being made doubly hard by having to do this during Easter week (Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it, and Happy Ostara and Vernal Equinox to those who celebrate those holidays!) when people are traditionally out of town and otherwise engaged at the weekend.
Given the above, and the fact that I can now only find my computer through a maze of boxes-in-process-of-being-packed, I thought I should serve a reminder of why posts at this blog have been a bit thin in the last month and for the next couple of weeks. I’ll post when I can, but it’s not going to be a priority.
Wish us luck, folks! And I’ll be back when I’m back…
Much Love and Many Blessings, Maryam
