The house closed today!!

We did it. Sold our home of 20 years (to the day). I can hardly believe it has happened. We signed our part of the papers on Wednesday after we left the house for the last time. The Realtor sent the closing papers via email this morning. We reviewed and had a few questions but everything was well. By 1:30pm it was done. The money took a little longer. Once the deed was registered with Durham, the attorney had to wire the funds into our bank account. This took a little longer than we or the Realtor thought it should. But, by 3:45pm we were able to confirm it had been done.
For the first time in 30 years we don't own a stix/brick house. Feels a little strange, but OK.

We were traveling while all of this was going on. Gary's family is all meeting in Florida to celebrate his brother's 70th birthday. We left NC with Mom and Dad yesterday morning. Stopped in Savannah last night and came on into New Smyrna Beach today. We made one quick stop at the Daytona Beach Flea Market. Gary needed a new cell phone cover.
After checking into the Coconut Palms Mom and I went over to the Publix and bought groceries for the week. We got a couple of delicious roasted chickens from their deli. That made for an easy supper.

While we were there someone came up behind me and said "the Tarheels suck"..I looked down to see if I had on a UNC t-shirt (I didn't) wondering how someone in Florida knew I was a Tarheel fan. Then the voice said " Carolina sucks"..OK that was it..I turned around...Gary's nephew (a die-hard "DOOKIE" fan) was standing there. He and his wife Crystal along with their youngest daughter Samantha had just gotten in and came in to buy their groceries too. He knew making those comments would get my attention. After hugs all around...we went on back to the condo to eat those chickens.

After supper, Mom and Dad decided to stay in. Gary and I went over to the condo where the rest of the family is staying. I played bingo with Sherry, Bev and Ashley. This is a new game on ABC tv. We didn't win anything but it was fun trying. Maybe next time.
Shortly after we decided to call it a night and came on back. Tomorrow we'll party. Bob's party is a surprise. It'll be interesting to see if it really is a surprise or if he has figured it out. About 100 people are expected. Should be a great time.

Night all. Deb
