Selling Our House

Well, we've entered the wild and whacky world of selling our house again with our friend and Realtor Extraordinaire Betty Burch as yesterday while Cassie was signing the lease for our new apartment in Paris I was signing all of the documents necessary to start the process to sell our house here in Lynchburg. And of course today there's ANOTHER snow storm which will add at least 3 days of not getting very much done as the city fathers are at best useless when it comes to plowing and at worst unresponsive when calls come from tax paying citizens demanding services that seldom if ever are rendered. Let's just say I could have done without having to deal with snow this weekend but I also know that complaining about the weather is like pissing into the wind. From what I hear from Cassie about how things go in France in day to day life there I'll have to turn my "complaint" button to the off position and that's fine.

I must say that it was a LOT of forms to fill out but Betty seems to think that our house will sell sooner than later and that's a really good sign but I won't go on about that for fear I'll jinx something.

I showed the twins the pictures of our new home in Paris (44 Rue Nicolo in the 16th arrondissement) which Cassie has dubbed "44 Rue Nic" and they proclaimed it as "COOL". After we arrive and have settled in both Kian and Niall will also be posting to the blog. The apartment is fully furnished which will make our move to Paris quicker and simpler and of that I'm GLAD.

Cassie has calls in the movers and she and I will meet in Washington D.C. at the beginning of the last week in February to pick up our extended visas at the French Embassy there and then drive a rental car back to Lynchburg to hopefully supervise the movers in packing up the house and the first week in March we all drive to Dulles Airport with the cats and twins, turn in the car, and get on the plane and head to Paris. Sounds easy doesn't it? More on how easy it is later.

The clock is ticking...........5 weeks to go.

Love to all......
