We are really feeling "the squeeze" between selling the cottage and buying our new farm. My brother's lawyer moves at a snail's pace. Our lawyer has written him three letters asking him to set a closing date, the cottage buyer has called him, my husband and I have called several times...to our understanding EVERYTHING has been ready since September 13th.
The Real Estate Agent for the new farm stopped by the store last week to see what was going on. I imagine that she is also eager to close.
It's difficult to paint, cement, and fix here at the old farm while we are still "occupied." but Mr.WestBerryDad does his best. We're both, however, a little bit "on edge."
Enter the perfect Columbus Day Weekend. 80 degrees, sunny, Fall colors.
We enjoyed pumpkin carving, wine tasting, a canal-side picnic and a haunted hayride.
Popcorn, fry cakes, garlic cheese, cider.
Deeeeelicious.
Yesterday we invited one of W's 6-year-old friends over to play (Star Wars). His mom is expecting her third boy. Her first husband, Josh (B's dad), was killed in a horrific motorcycle accident three years ago. She offered me a good reminder on the phone while we were discussing our plans.
If I were to lose a loved one today, what would I look back on and wish I could change? Would we really wish we had painted more?
