Well, first of all, thanks maeve... Yeah, it would be the nicest house either of us has have ever owned... That's why we're willing to gamble money to tie it up while we either sell this farm or figure something else out... These days, ya never know... I know the seller needs to shed some debt (maybe a lot of debt???) so maybe I could assume some of it??? Strange times in the world of real estate... Gotta think outtta the box...

Kinda answered yer question, kat... But if a buyer were to enter into a contract for our farm tomorrow I wouldn't see the closing and possession for 60 days... That'd have us in NC by Christmas... That is a very unlikely scenerio... Hopefully we'll have a buyer by Dec. 15th which would mean a Feburary or March move???

No matter... I am trusting that the Big Guy will pull thru and get it done on His time table... One thing I have learned about God is that He is a procratinator... I mean, He will let ya' do a little sweatin' while He works stuff out...

Like Voltaire once said, "God is a comedian playin' to an audience afraid to laugh"... lol...

Nevermind... Little thread drift but somewhat relevant to what we're going thru here...
