I love it when a plan comes together!

Things are going exceedingly well on the Grady front. I shouldn't talk about it too much in case it jinxes me.

Let's list some more good things:

- My next door neighbor is all set to close on Friday. With a ton of help from her family, (excluding the son in South Korea and the daughter working on a cruise ship, and son in Germany, but is coming home today I believe...) everything is going to be fine. After living in the same house for 32 odd years, and finally making the decision to move into a more manageable property, she is looking forward to change. Whew! It was one tough sale let me tell you. We looked at everything under the sun, and actually had her home sold without her having a home to move into. Friday is the day. AND, I'm going to get a new neighbor! The final inspection went better than I could have imagined, insurance set up, meeting with the lawyer done, all utilities set up, moving company booked, boxes packed.... done!
- People buying the home next door just sold their home on the West side. They were freaking that they would have two homes and one enormous mortgage, but they sold! That relieves me from the worry that they would refuse to close. A Realtor's nightmare.
- Electrical updates successfully completed at client A's home. The best part of this is that the electrician actually stuck to his estimated price although there were unforseeable problems. Client A very much looking forward to their new home. (It's a good one!)
- Client B has listed his house, and has put forth serious effort in cleaning up the home and the property. It's on the market and ready to go. (Well, after the huge pile of garbage is removed from the front of the home...)
- received a $411 cheque from the mortgage insurance company that had us paying for a premium that should have expired in October of '04. I thought the cheque should be invested into a shopping trip to Ikea, while Billy thought the money would be put to better use paying some bills. Darn his logic!
- All appliances are working well in Tennessee and we have the home rented this coming week-end. It's a good thing to not have to worry about a house so far away!

There is more, but I have to go and enjoy my house, dog, garden, call some friends, my book, then later golf, chat and have cocktails with more friends. Life is good!
