Still alive!

On Thursday, 9/30, 8 men in two trucks made quick work of emptying our house. It took them only an hour and a half to load and slightly longer to unload. The condo had reserved an elevator for their use so that worked well. Everything came through in good shape.
Now it is Tues. evening and we have the kitchen and both bedrooms quite settled. We've also made some progress in the rest of the area. The number of boxes left is dwindling. That's a good thing because space is filling.
We took time off yesterday to close on our house which had a couple of minor wrinkles. Susan, one of the buyers, had an expired drivers license. According to the terms of the Patriot Act buyers must have a valid id and an expired drivers license doesn't qualify. We felt sorry for her. They had closed on the house they sold in the morning, loaded their stuff, were closing on ours and then moving in all on the same day. She had to go get her license renewed to finish signing the papers.
Before we got home we were called back because a typo was found in on the deed. Susan uses her maiden name plus her husbands name but doesn't hyphenate it. The deed had it with a hyphen so the document had to be retyped and resigned.
We decided that we had done our grief work because all we felt at closing was elation. We couldn't have picked a better couple to buy our house. He, like Joanne, is a Concordia grad. They have a three year old boy, Gavin. So, for the first time, there will be a child living in the house.
I'll likely post more regularly now. I have some downtown stories to tell.

Many thanks for all the expressions of support, concern and well wishes. We feel blessed by your concern.
