House sold

Yes my house is now sold. Have bought a new home in Forest Lake. What a process is this..
First you get a sales contract made up, without signing you go to the solicitor and let him have a look at it. He can now change the wording when it is not done properly. You do not want to end up with a house when the sale of your own house is falling through. Then you have a building and termite inspection. If it has termites you can terminate the contract, it has to be on the contract. If the building inspection is not favourable then you start negotiating through the solicitor till you are satisfied with the price.
Then you wait till settlement date and the sellers are out of the house and you can move in.
In the meantime I am cleaning out the house, garage and have a garage sale coming weekend. What is left over after I move out of the house will be thrown out and in a container.

Moving

Have some time ago signed a sales contract and will be moving. To where I do not know yet. Have to buy another home yet. I am not very impressed with what I have seen up to now . Will be looking in a bigger area. Might be seeing something which I will fancy. Hope to have a house by the end of this month.
Past weekend have been on a quilting retreat and had quite a lot of senior moments, forget the lead for the sewing machine. Had enough work to do without machine and will try now to finish a quilt on the quilting meetings.
Dear daughter is planning a trip for the 2 of us going next year to Europe. We leave in April the winter is supposed to be finished then. We will also going to Italy, the Almafi coast doing a trip then.
