SOLD!



And just like that (with a snap of the fingers) we sold the cottage! My mom and I drove up to the cottage on Saturday morning. xChris and Diana had driven up Friday night. Early Sat morning someone knocked on the door and there was a realtor with a couple wanting to see the place. They came in, walked around and were very enthusiastic.





Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive to Green lake and find a place to sit and enjoy the lake.





We packed up chairs, beach umbrella, floaties, cold drinks, the dog and away we went.




We had the most perfect 4 hours at the lake. We decided rather than eating out at a restaurant on the way back we'd just drive to the cottage.




When we got back there was a note on the door from our realtor telling us there was an offer written up and to call her ASAP. It was a good offer but not quite what we were wanting to get. BUT we have a whole cottage full of furnishings we need to dispose of and so with the counter offer we offered the goods.



It was accepted and they were pleased to get the furnishings as well. The deal closes on Aug 17 and they take possession on the 28th. On one hand it's a little sad but on the other a big relief. My mom was happy she could be there for the event and get to see the place one more time. It just felt like God's hand was on us and the timing couldn't have been better.

A chapter of our lives closes and a new chapter begins.
