Thursday morning around 9:30, Hick called. I'm always worried about a random phone call from Hick, since in the past they've been related to ER visits with The Pony. It's usually nothing good. But this time, it WAS GOOD!
The prospective buyers had accepted an offer on their current house, and closing on our Double Hovel will be on June 9. After so many months of waiting for a qualified buyer on our flip house, the deal was done in whirlwind fashion, with an offer then a closing date in less than 48 hours!
Of course we are thrilled, and Scrooge-McDuck-ily counting our respective fortunes. Especially The Pony, who made a life-changing decision a few weeks ago. That's not for current discussion, as it saddens Val greatly. Let's just say that The Pony is polishing a nest egg, Val is saving for a rainy day, and Hick is contemplating yet another venture. We must all be careful about counting our ducklings before they hatch, but morale is high around Thevictorian household(s) this week.
HI Val, First, my congratulations on selling the Double Hovel. I know I should wait until June 9th before sending my congrats but hopefully, all will go through without a glitch. Second, oh dear regarding a life-changing decision by The Pony. I hope all turns out okay.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We THINK everything will be okay. Usually we can't get a closing date unless everything is in order for both parties involved in the contract.
DeleteThe Pony's decision is something that will eventually be revealed. I doubt The Pony would mind, but I am not yet ready to deal with it. I just talked to The Pony today, but the decision was not a topic.
Fantastic news!!! I just had a feeling things would work in your favor. You are one lucky lady as you prove with your scratch tickets.
ReplyDeleteI do feel very lucky. I am having a good week, with this house selling, and TWO scratchers winning $100 on consecutive days.
Deletegreat news! The dbl hovel has been in the works for some time, so it is wonderful news. I hope Pony is doing okay.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been almost two years, with Hick having his back surgery and unable to work on it for six months or more. The Pony is okay. Just a big decision.
DeleteI am glad the house deals are all done and dusted. Very curious about The Pony.
ReplyDeleteThe house sale is a big relief. The Pony is full of surprises.
DeleteCongatz on the sale and I'll be waiting anxiously to hear about your son's future plans.
ReplyDeleteThanks! When the time is right, all will be revealed.
DeleteI am so glad to see the news about the sale. Also, I am sending good vibes as Pony makes a big decision. He is such a good egg, and seems to be so thoughtful in his decisions, even though it makes you sad, I know you know it's great for him!
ReplyDeleteThis sale news puts a smile on my face every day when I wake up and remember. Hopefully it is a good omen, considering The Pony's decision that was made before the sale.
DeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteThat's what we said!
