NEW PLACE OF RESIDENCE

Just thought I would show a picture of the home we are suppose to move into on the 17th but now it has been pushed back to the 30th.....



Trying to make lemonade out of this situation but the lemons are kinda sour right now.

    Looks like a lovely place to start the new year! As for the lemonade, lemons are supposed to be sour, silly girl, that's why we add sugar...sugar cookies sprinkled with green or red sugar or frosted with sweet frosting made with powdered sugar with a dab of food coloring in your favorite Christmas color...oh, oh and grab a couple of those sugar plum fairies while your at it! Merry Christmas, Barb

    It's a cute house! Why is there a 2 week delay at the holidays?

    I hope that things work out that you can get into your house by the 17th, but if not, think how much fun you'll have next year getting it ready for Christmas! Welcome back to winter! (I live in West Virginia)

    I'm so sorry that things aren't going according to plan. What an awful time to be left out in the cold.

    Oh that stinks! It would have been nice for you to be in your own house for the holidays. :(

    Is that a sewing room on the second floor above the front door? I hope they call and tell you the house is ready on the 17th.

    It looks like a lovely house; I hope you will be happier there than you think you will be. And it's not permanent, right?

    beautiful.

    now lets find some sweetner here...you will appriciate it 13 times more, you have more time to plot and plan your rooms. You get to stay somewhere where you don't have to clean, unpack, organize, and sort for a little longer....helping? no? I understand! (we actually were 10 days "homeless" when my oldest was 18 months old between leases and had to stay with a co-worker)

    That house looks like it will be wonderful to live in and I hope they sort it all out for your real soon. It can be very dissapointing for sure. Hugs to you Barb :)

    Move in..but put up minimal stuff. Have a big New Year's Eve house warming party. Clean up (easier than if everything is in place)
    Then settle everything in.

    Looks like a lovely house. Just add some sugar to those lemons and sing, "I'll be home for Christmas". Maybe Santa will hear you and let you move in earlier.

    Oh, Barbara. I am so sorry. We have space, if you need a place to be for a while (and there are sewing machines here, too).

    I have one closing on the 17th too! It is really hard to get everything done on the properties and the loans, especially around the holidays. (turkey day puts us off schedule too)
    Enjoy not having to unpack over Christmas and next year this will just be a great story to tell.- cheryl

    Hey Barb! It's always a bummer when real estate stuff doesn't go the way or as quickly as we want, but once you get in there everything will be better. It's a really cute house and I'm sure you are going to work your magic on it and make it a warm and comfortable home!

    XOXO,

    No fun waiting I know....and all I care about seeing the house is the size of the sewing area. Do we need to come and rip down walls so you have enough room? You know we can do it....shouldn't take more than a few hours to remove all the walls you want gone :)

    Awww, that's a really nice house and I love the big trees around it. I bet it will be great in the spring too.

    I'm buying a retirement house now and things might be going awry. I know how it is to hurry up and wait.
