.........since I blogged last. I haven't been thinking much about RVing, although I am still planning on making my way to TX and AZ. I should be hitting the highway in about 2 weeks.
Meanwhile, I've had alot of sitting and musing time .......
I have made the decision to sell the farm and pursue the purchase of the house I looked at in PA last fall ( I really didn't even want to consider moving back at that time, but this place caught my eye). Fortunate for me, it was still available. My eldest D and SIL met with the agent and checked out several things I thought neccessary to have a guy look at, and several things I wanted my daughter to check out that I could not remember.
But I am getting ahead of myself. I had been approached by 2 individuals last summer and fall wanting to know if I would consider selling my farm. Then, while I was laid up from surgery, a 3rd party also stopped by to inquire about it. Well, sometimes the Lord just has to hit me over the head so to speak, to get my attention. Can anyone say, "Amen"?!
SOOOO, I had to pray about and see what was the best way to approach offering it for sale. To make a long story short, I called the one who was in my heart to approach first, told him how much I'd like to have for it, then how much I would take for it. We talked for hours over a matter of days, and struck a deal. We are both very happy about it! Closing will be next week.
Right now I am finishing up my taxes to get sent in and then I will be packing up the RV. Taking my sweet time so I don't over-work my knee. Izzy is chomping to go and I am too!
Oh, the home in PA? Signed the contract today!
I had wondered if I really want to go through this 2nd inevitable knee surgery so far away from my family again..... But it is more than that. Its about being near family period. Its about having another chance to have important time with my kids and grands. Its about doing things together, and its about having a place where we can all come together and I dont have to just hear about it over the phone from 625 miles away..... Yes, I am ready to move on.
Next post, pictures of the PA home, if I can get them. You all take care .
Wow, big decisions. I know you love the farm, but family is more important than property. Best wishes for you on the move.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for making such a big leap. Some day I will need to face that too but with kids all over the place it might be hard so I put it off.
ReplyDeleteHey Sunny. Sounds like the Lord is working in your life and showing you what's the best to do. You have kids up there in PA, too, right?
ReplyDeleteGlad you have made some decisions about the future, and it must be from the Lord about selling your farm - it was really very easy in today's market. Yes, we'll need to see p hotos of your new place when you get all settled!
Hoping to meet you in person when you come to Texas!
Wow. That certainly is changing lanes. Best wishes...
ReplyDeleteWOW is right. But yes being near your family will make things so much better for you. You took your time and didn't just jump into things when you found yourself alone. Good thing. I am glad you are on the mend so well also. Hope we can meet up here in Tucson.
ReplyDeleteWow - amazing decisions- you are going to have a wonderful time relocating - and of course then being near family. Wish we could bring WV closer to WA.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Yep, God has to do that sometimes!

ReplyDeleteI love this! Your right that is what its about. Pray everything works out for ya. Enjoy your family.
Oh Sunny, sounds like such a hard decision yet such an easy one. The main thing is that you ask God and are listening to him. I just feel like your life is headed in the right direction. Still I know it is hard to let go. Happy trails sounds so corny but Happy trails. Cant wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so far behind! But your decision is probably a good one. Almost all my family is in Pa & I can't wait to get up there to spend the spring/summer season with them. I don't do winters though. But your life will have more sensibility & value to it being near family again. Now, I want to see this house you bought!! Maybe I'll even see it in person when I make it up there :-)
ReplyDelete(maybe I'll steal it, but you can have it back in the winter time)
