God loves My Wife...

So after a few months of cleaning .. Milly's mom's house was ready for the appraisers ,, then the realtor. When the first report came in we (Milly her brother and her sis) were all shocked at what the economy in Mass had done to home values... We had been looking at properties and trying to find something in our price range but initial market analysis of this place just over a year ago put the old home place way out of her/our range... Turned out Milly could afford to buy the house she grew up in ... and after a couple calls to the mortgage brokers who had tried to help us before... we managed to find a good loan and she as able to get the place...
So Homelessness is a memory... but unless you have ever done it... you will never understand... a Pleasant one mostly.. Its nice to have a place to work on stuff... and spread out a quilt project or a computer chassis and not have to pick up as soon as you get tired of it... so nothing will fall while we travel... We were able to retain a lot of our "good" stuff thanks to the help of good friends... so I still have a 1951 suburban project ... a 50 chevy panel project... and a 1963 Grumman Kurbmaster , Our next RV project... we are thinking of outfitting it in the style of the old beach buggies of the 50's and 60's... It should be fun... along with all the "small jobs" that a house constantly wants done...
