The saga continues. We closed on a new single family home in the Highland Glenn area of Ballantrae 21 September 2018, less than a mile from the Villa we purchased a year ago. Pictures of the home are in the last blog update. Yesterday, we signed a contract to sell the Villa. The inspection was today and went well. We expect to close 8 October! Great day as we’ll be moved into our new single family place on the 2nd. All going well. And to make it better, Gail Green, Jan’s cousin, came to Vero to visit Jan. We got together with them on our boat in Fort Pierce and out touring the area on the 23rd. Had a great time. Would have loved to go out on the boat but the rainy weather precluded that option. But we did get to show Gail the new home.
Where we are at today is a far cry from where we expected to be, but it’s all an adventure. Moving into the new place next month and quickly selling the Villa we purchased a year ago. We have Apolonia, the new one, in her slip at Fort Pierce, where we spend 3 to 4 days a week; Fort Pierce is a great little town with lots going for it. Paget is on a lift at a marina in Ballantrae for easy evening cruises, although we are seriously considering selling her as two boats are hard to care for and also hard to use.
Carey is planning the decoration for the new home. I’m watching Gunsmoke reruns, and doing a bit of work on the boats. I just completed a lung rehab program and my quality of life jumped upward a few notches. Loving it. Carey is doing well but decided the second knee has to be replaced so that is scheduled in early January 2019.
Below you see us out at lunch with Jan and Gail.
