All the stuff related to home sale and purchase is nerve wracking until it is all complete. When I was buying my first place in Florida the mortgage officer was delaying because he wanted documentation of the community being an over 55 community. But it wasn't. Turned out the appraiser wrote that it was in the appraisal based on an assumption. The mortgage officer wouldn't approve the mortgage until the appraiser reissued the appraisal with that reference deleted.

I went to another plein air event tonight at my neighbor's house. Great setting, but I'm biased given it's my 'hood. Several of the newer neighbors came which was nice and I introduced them to each other. It was a beautiful day for painting with big clouds after the rain and a pretty sunset.

I didn't buy anything today, because I started to think, hey, I can just look out the window!

I also had a board meeting for the HOA today, which was surprisingly painless. A good day all around!

Hope you had a great last day in AZ Liz! Safe travels home tomorrow.

123, back up!

Same ol', same ol' today. Worked on my Bible study and more packing!

Hello Fresh meal was a steak stuffed pita. We had left over Hello Fresh Chicken pita so I ate that while DH and DC1 had the steak. Steak just isn't my thing!

Bible study tomorrow morning and then need to check if all the home loan stuff is completed. That all needs to be secured by Monday and I got a call from loan officer today that the HOA dues make our debt to income ratio to great but he had the HOS numbers wrong, was looking at the quarterly rate as the monthly rate. I sent him documentation so hopefully all is well but I'm not chancing another contingency problem. Grrrrr!

Greetings all

Another sunny one. Almost hot. The house got cleaned and the pups were visited by their favorite person - our cleaner. After that I walked at the gym. I even tried a little bit of walking backwards - harder than it looks. Really slow and had to be careful. I saw some other guy doing it at a far faster pace. Oh well, it is not a race.

After that I went to the studio (big surprise). The glass studio was empty. Another big surprise. The overall rearranging is ongoing and some of the interior is being painted after moving shelves. I did my usual puttering.

Nine days until Halloween. I need to get organized - like clear junk off the table. Inventory paper plates and table items. Make a shopping list. Calendar food ordering. Check the wine supply. Inspect the less obvious parts of the house to make sure DH has not created a debris pile. Wash the bathroom towels and dog blankets. Plan the excavation of the stuff that has accumulated on top of the two dog crates we keep in the living room then move the crates. Endless.

Have a good trip home Liz. So glad to hear you got some world class guac. Hugs to Justice.

CC is the roof fixed yet?

DD don't go wild with activities in Galveston. Pool time please.

Trick or treat.

Safe travels!
