Homeless

Our house is finally packed up and while we wait for our belongings to make it the LONG journey across the Atlantic Ocean, we are taking the opportunity to visit with family one last time before skipping the country... unfortunately, since everything we own is on a ship somewhere, we are living out of suitcases (not fun), frequenting laundromats (really not fun) and eating microwaveable dinners (extremely un-fun)... visiting family here and there has helped some but the reality is that we are homeless and it's... well, it's... not fun.

The good news is that OUR HOUSE SOLD and we actually were able to sell for more than we bought it for - very positive for us considering the current real estate market. We are mostly just glad to have that worry off our backs. Closing is set for Sept. 8th.

We are all anxious to get to our house in Glinton/Peterborough. Everytime we get in the van (rental van that is, since we sold both our car and van) Emily asks "are we going to England now?" Only 2 more weeks until I can respond "yes."

  2. Dear Lana Banana,
    I'm sorry to inform you, but there is one more item of business you have neglected to take care of before you leave the states. That is: locate your long-lost friend SalliJune and arrange to have her and her family come live next door to you. That way you'll always have a buddy when you need to get a new haircut, and our girls could spend 3 delicious years together. Whatdaya say?
