End of an Era

We received, and accepted, an offer on our Kedron property. Hopefully, providing pest/building and finance are okay, we will settle in early March.

Caitlin is traumatised by this. She wanted us to buy a lotto ticket before signing the contract, just in case we won a million dollars and didn't have to sell.

A huge thank you to Mum, Dad and Margaret who spent weekends over at the place, cleaning walls, windows, lights, blinds, shampooing carpets, fixing holes and painting them, installing new laundry tub, cleaning up the yard and even spraypainting the pots green! The place sparkled!

Still, it's a relief that we won't be paying two mortgages and we'll have some spare change available to do things ... like replace the electric hot water system with a solar or gas one, replace the "how burnt do you want your food" oven and "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can boil water" cooktop, and repair some fencing so the sheep don't wander across the highway again!

Thats good news. And also a big thanks to the good Man upstairs that all our friends are safe.
Hope you got a good price. We have put down for a Cape Cod house around the corner. Mortgages are back! Charu is in India for 10 days. We wanted to visit you but she decided to visit her Dad instead
