Big News!

It has been a very eventful and exciting week. After spending a few days at our cabin at Lake of the Woods, I returned to Ashland to receive an offer on my house...which I accepted with only a counter of an earlier closing date. This gave me the go-ahead to go to Portland Saturday; since brother Cam had arrived from SF for a visit, he agreed to drive there with me. Amy joined us in revisiting a house on Main St. that I had previously considered and then seeing a house that she and my realtor Beth had already seen; I feel in love with it, as they predicted, and proceeded to make an offer on it. After driving back to Ashland the next day, I learned that my offer had been accepted! So now I await the closing on August 29 of my house in Ashland and the September 2 closing of my new Portland house!! The timing has been amazing...I may really be able to pull this off!! Only two house inspections to get through...and the huge garage sale that Amy and I are getting ready for this week; Saturday will be the "clean-out" day!!
