Well, it looks like our little family may have found a place to hang our respective hats. (T's is a Corvette baseball cap, mine is a courderoy fisherman's hat, and Jack's is an imaginary one, as he refuses to wear hats.)
We have a contract on a house in Charles Town, WV. Yes, we are moving to West Virginia. Yes, we know this means we will now be the butt of all family jokes, and our family tree is supposed to now become a single branch, etc etc etc. Mock away, people, we will still have a beautiful home in a historic part of America where the taxes are low, the quality of living is high, and you can actually see STARS at night. We are quite apoplectically happy about the whole thing - just in case anyone cares.
You can now feel free to click here (Link Removed) for photos of the new house. The smaller ones were "borrowed" from the realtor, since we missed taking a few key photos ourselves during the inspection (which by the way went very very very extreIy well, in case anyone was interested.) We'll keep you posted as details unfold, but it looks like we will be closing at the end of July and moving sometime the beginning of August. Anyone who wants free food in exchange for painting services may contact us at the regular address and/or phone. Thanks for all the support in this long process, and we hope to send out our change of address cards in the very near future!!!
