Home Owners At Last




We left Collier Seminole State Park near Naples early Tuesday morning. It really got cold during the night and we woke up to a 60 degree camper. We took off early Tuesday to meet with our realtor one last time on the house we have an offer on. This has been a very very frustrating process and we are ready to give it up and head north. Last Friday the listing realtor asked for our highest and best offer which we submitted only to find out late Monday that the listing realtor was asking for our highest and best offer again on Tuesday. We didn't understand the game playing and with much apprehension we submitted our final offer again on Tuesday.

And guess what? They finally accepted our offer at noon today and we are the proud owners of a small house in a very nice neighborhood in Cape Coral that needs A LOT of work, Gary will be busy for years. What sold me was the built in can opener. It doesn't work and it may be tough to find another one to fit the hole in the wall, that's what I'll be working on.

But we are very very happy, we will be staying in the area for a while longer now getting some things taken care of with the house before we head back. Now I just need to find a straightjacket for Gary, too many projects, not enough time.
