Okay guys. Here's the scoop. I offered on a house. The owners countered, I counter-countered. ( This is kind of fun ) Looks like we may be able to meet in the middle.

Then, if everything goes well, I would get my wish of having the summer to slowly move and place my possessions in the new house, deciding what could be auctioned, donated, or just thrown away.

Started to tell you all about the house, but don't want to jinx myself!!!! Suffice it to say when I sit on the front porch swing, it felt like HOME.

Haven't heard any screams out of the XH yet. The quiet is disquieting. HMMM. shocked
