THE CAMERA ANGLE IS KINDA WONKY, but that's alright. The house sold and we closed FRIDAY, December 8th. The first full day of Hanukkah. At 11 in the morning as we were having our morning coffee/tea, the phone rang with our realtor congratulating us on the sell. The buyers had finished their side of the transaction and we could pick up our check that afternoon.
IT WAS A HALLELUJAH KIND OF DAY. We will not have to WINTER the house with it on the market. She is now someone else's baby. We can now deal with only one house instead of two. I am getting to the place that I am alright with having turned loose of the property. The utility companies were notified of needing to read a final reading for us. This is lightening the load of having so many bills. Praise the LORD.
We picked up the check and went to our bank to make a deposit and then we went to a different bank to make another deposit. DONE.
Praise the LORD!
To celebrate we went to the LONGHORN STEAK HOUSE in Manhattan. I ordered an actual steak which came with a side salad, baked potato and bread 'n butter with a raspberry lemonade to drink. The service was excellent and so was the food, but there was a screaming baby across the room that continued to scream for nearly 30 minutes. 30 m i n u t e s.
When the floor manager came by to check on us about the food, my husband mentioned the screaming child. She said this was not her department. I asked whose was it then and she walked away. I suggested to my hubby that we box up our expensive celebration meal and go home to finish eating it.
I understand that babies cry, but when at a restaurant, I believe the guardian of the child should be sensitive enough to remove the child from the dining room. The manager did not address this with the adult. I believe a letter to headquarters is in order. Sooooo...it shall take place.
At any rate, I did not want this to undue our celebration. We traveled HOME and ate while watching a movie.
STILL A HALLELUJAH DAY!!!
I believe we will continue on getting settled in the COTTAGE. The weather is suppose to be decent and we have plans of emptying the rest of the shed and filling it with the excess from inside the COTTAGE. Clearing the COTTAGE out will make the place more like a HOME than a warehouse. I pray we can work quickly and make huge progress. I must get very serious about turning loose of more. Work at a steady pace and be free of what holds me in bondage. Get rid of the excess. SO as I am going through the boxes, the car will be loaded with the access and away it will go.
That will be four in a row. Wowzer.
