OH ME DEAR LORD!!!!

Wowza!

I am so freaking giddy at the moment that I am totally out of control.

Today was a weird day.

IT was the anny of my mom's passing and I spent part of the day with my brother and sister. We went to the cemetary and spent some time there talking and 'arguing'. Not the real irritating stuff, just enough to disagree and get stuff off our chest.

We got together yesterday for my brother's birthday and talked about the rental property and the money that my brother, "M" has been collecting.

I am of the mind to let the matter rest until we go to court, but they wanted to find out exactly what was going on w/the cash.

They went to talk to the tenants to see where the cash was going-the county asked that the money be sent to them to go towards the estate.

It seems that my brother cut a deal with the renter's to send HALF the payment to the county and give him the other half 'under the table' so that they could stay on.

Not exactly a smart thing to do. Can you say "moron"?

I got home and was sitting down drained from the news and spending time with the family.

I settled in and decided to watch a movie.

About 45 minutes into it I heard someone at the gate and thought, "EFF, more people looking to buy the house".

I wanted to say screw it and lay back down but something told me to get up and go out.

I saw two guys standing there and I explained the deal with the sale and there would be an post auction - auction on the 17th.

He explained he looked at the property on line and was VERY interested in making a bid.

He wanted to look at the back yard and I hesitated to show it to him.

I explained that I would give him a tour next Saturday if he wanted, but he was insistent, but in a good way.

He asked how long I had lived here and I told him off-and-on for 50 years. I explained how it went on the market and mentioned that today was the anny of my mom's death. He told me that he wanted to make a bid on the property, after he listened for a moment he stated that he wanted to "make it right" and make an offer over what the initial bid was. He then asked me if I wanted I COULD RENT IT after he purchased it.:eek


I was going to plan on moving out in January, but if he purchases it that will give me a place to stay until March, so I can delya my move and not have to worry about the ancillary stuff!!!!!

I did allow him onto the property and he looked at it and was very satisfied,
I told I was in the process of cleaning it out for the next tenant if I had to move out.

I know, You cannot believe anything that you hear these days but I told him I would talk to the rest of my sibs about it and see what his proposal was on the day of the auction and speak to him then.


Wow, If things work out this may cause a bidding war. The bad part?

He may lose the house to someone who wants to offer more, but that means a higher bid for the property, but, if he is true to his word?

IT means a higher bid and I get to stay on for a little longer!


what a roller coaster ride!!!!!

So, think good thoughts and pray for me!!!

On a sad note?

My niece's dog passed away almost at the same time my mom passed away two years ago?
