Sold!

The sign in the front yard proclaims SOLD. I will issue the standard caveat about "counting your chickens before they hatch" but it looks like all is on track to close on this house in the next couple of weeks and then close on our new home in Hendersonville the very next day. It is an exciting and exhausting time. To be honest, it is more than exhausting. It is teetering on the brink of insanity. Hopefully, I will get by with a little help from my friends!
The new family that will inhabit this home are very lucky people. I met the dad yesterday and he seems like a happy guy. (The good Lord knows how I love a happy guy!) He and his wife are the parents to two pre-schoolers. Those kids get to grow up here. What a blessing for their family.
I could spend hours telling them about the house but they will discover, on their own, the magical properties of this house and land. These children will live in a house that will make them instant rock stars in elementary school. They will have a big house and a pool and a pond and woods. Oh, the memories they will make!
Many people have asked me how I can leave here. I have responded that my work is done here. Two empty-nesters found a peace in the quietness here. Now a family will have to struggle to find a little peace and quiet. It is the circle of life.
