It became official at 12:01 PM on December 1st 2015: we became homeless. The 'For Sale' sign had gone up in April, and after we'd had one deal fall through in August and given the slowness of the economy right now we'd resigned ourselves to settling in for the winter. Of course that was probably the best thing to do, because as soon as we did that we managed to get an offer that stuck.
What didn't get given away or hauled to the dump got stowed away in a 6' x 12' Gypsy Wagon, and we moved a bed and a few things into Kathy's house near Ardrossan. We'll stay there until after Christmas helping out with some things, and then hopefully get south for a couple of months. Back up in the spring, probably using Ardrossan as a base and helping Kathy out with some more maintenance stuff. And having LOTS of garage sales, as we didn't get a chance before the final move-out.
So now we just have to see how long it will take for me to remember my new mailing address... it took me about 12 years before I could get the Lamont street address right without looking it up. And also see how long it takes Kathy to stop cooking with cheese...
