Tick, tick

Closing is on 30-Sep-2009. We couldn't be happier. We'll sign papers next week so we won't even need to go to the closing. In the mean time we have 1 (one) more load of crap to transport. We've had dinner with some friends in the last couple of weeks. We'll miss them and others, as well.

This move convinces me that Esther has it right - do not put so much furniture in a room that you get congestion. We have thrown and given away a ton of stuff in the run-up to this point.There is still a pile down here in Chincoteague that we need to give away. Esther is doing quite a bit of wizardry finding places for our crap. She is quite amazing at it. I don't have the patience for that, so I try to supply schlepping power.

We had a great walk on the beach today, maybe a couple of miles in the sunshine. Temperatures are 75 or so down here and the water is still warm enough for swimming. I told Esther that "this is starting to seem like retirement!"

Here is a volunteer in the lawn.
