Hello World! Well, we closed on our house today. The new owners have agreed to give us a leaseback until June 7th. So, we continue to pack and clean out on a daily basis. Granted, we have slowed our pace down since we originally thought we had until May 24th. The extension is a nice gift. So sorry for the late start to the party.
Welcome to Week 100 of:
