This morning I walked the dog, came inside and watched hubby get ready for work, sat down at my machine to get back to Mudcat. YESTERDAY, however, hubby took off, we drove into Austin, and actually signed all closing papers in sale of our "old" house!!!!!. We married in Aug., 1966, and we paid rent until Aug.,1972. Then we started paying mortgage. Several months ago we got a "cash-out" loan for about 60% of our (old) house value, paid flat cash for our "new" place. The closing paid off the "cash-out" loan and put money in our pocket. We owe nothing on our home except the annual taxes--half the rate in this county as the one we used to live in, and, because the house so much lower cost, that rate on less money. Hubby stood outside the Title Co. office breathing deep and smiling for quite a while. I enjoyed watching him do it.    Tw
