SOLD! We think

Chris talked to the realtor on Monday, and she said the bank that holds the 2nd mortgage on th e house is willing to accept our offer as long as the seller knows he still has to pay them back in full. That is not our problem, but they are putting it in writing, so we should have a final yes soon. We hung out with Rachel & Josh on Monday nite, and on our way home from their house decided to swing by "ours." We were shocked when we saw a sold sign in the front yard. Holy cow! Still no official yes, but the sold sign bodes well! Closing is set for the 21st. Who knows, we could actually be in our own house by the end of the month. Scary! Speaking of scary, when we stopped to look on Mon. nite, we noticed some orange lights flickering against the house. They were actually quite large and quite bright. I was worried that some local yocal moron was setting off fireworks and started a fire. It would be just my luck to have gone through all this and then have the house burn down. So, Chris went up to the fence to check it out. The guy who's living there had flames several feet high coming from his Weber grill. Yikes! You've got to work pretty darn hard to get flames that bad from a grill that small! No house problems, and the guy didn't notice Chris and wonder what this big guy was doing peeking over his fence!
