So said Caesar as he prepared to cross the Rubicon. For us it’s not a river to be crossed,
it is the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike old Julius, who just wanted to return to Rome, our goal is to see the
world beginning with Europe. We have been talking
about it for quite a while and, of course, were committed, at least in our
minds. But as of today there is no
turning back; our house if officially “on the market,” the listing agreement is
signed, the MLS data appeared on-line and the “For Sale” sign was planted in
the yard. Even better, our first
prospect is coming tomorrow morning.
We are considered “motivated sellers.” The house is priced on the low-ish side
at $245,000. We have repainted,
remodeled the kitchen and baths, emptied closets, scrubbed and scoured everything
possible, and cleaned the carpets.
We are including not only appliances, but patio furniture, the barbeque
and assorted yard tools. We have compiled
photos of the yard in its summer glory and even gathered together literature extolling
Castle Rock.
So let the games begin!
