Griffin’s Art

Recently Grififn has become quite the little artist.  He’s never been one who enjoyed coloring or drawing pictures but lately he’s been quite prolific with picture after picture after picture. The first one cracks ME UP!!  When he told me what it was, I about died laughing.  It’s the sun and the sky and the...

They accepted!!

The sellers accepted the price reduction to $285 plus 2.7% in closing costs.  Wooooo Hoooo!!! Now we just have to hope that the other shoe does not drop and the financing sails through underwriting.  We may close next week!

It looks like it’s going to come down to the wire!

Yesterday, the listing agent asked my agent when the appraisal would take place because she wants her lock box from the house to use on a different property. The tension is rising because the agents don’t think we can close on time and they think that the seller may be too frustrated to do another...

First Song

Last night Griffin wrote his first song. He was sitting across the room from me and said, “I’m going to write a song!” and he did. At first I thought he was writing the notes out as letters because as he went along, he was saying the notes but when he was done and showed...
