Greetings from Limbo

You might be wondering where we are in the process of selling our house and moving.  I know I certainly am.  We have a potential buyer.  He thinks he is a "shrewd negotiator", in Chris's words.  What that translates to is "asshole".  We have been in negotiations since February, maybe March; it really is hard to keep track.

So we have been concentrating on finding a new house.  No real luck there either.  Too big, too small, wrong neighborhood, one house bought out from under us.  I was very hopeful  about a house that we were supposed to see today.  It is also on North River Drive, across the street towards Churchlanding Road.  It is, from what we have heard, immaculate and well maintained, original owner going in to the Friends Home in Woodstown.  The taxes are one third of what we pay here.  Yes, one third.  (Oh, and last week we found our our tax appeal was denied so not moving is not really an option.)  It was not officially on the market yet, but it is Chris's listing and she got us in for this morning...or so we thought.  Last minute cancellation by the owner.  She decided she is not moving.  I realize this is probably a temporary set back, but I'm not taking it well.

Summer is coming and I'd like some idea of what is in store for us.  I'm tired of waiting, tired of keeping the house perfect, tired of not knowing where I'm going to live a year from now.

Other that that, all's good.
