Selling our NH Condo. Stress. Angst. Gnashing of teeth.

You know, "they" have these lists of things that stress one out. Marriage. Divorce. Death of a loved one. Big change in income (either loss or gain). Moving. Fixing up a house, selling it in a crappy market, moving away from the region you've called home for about 50 1/2 out of 51 years? "Priceless" to mix metaphors.

To bring you up to date (on the off chance you actually have other things to do then read our blog entries...): we bought a home, furnished, in Arizona after spending a month or so in the area. Actually we bought it less than a week after we started looking, paid for it, moved into it, then headed back east to the next adventure: selling our New Hampshire condo. That's where we're at (physically & chronologically) at the moment.

We bought the NH place about 5 years ago. Intended as an interim step on the road to a "permanent" retirement place, we didn't invest much time, money or energy into making it spiffy. Until now. In the course of about 2 weeks, with huge help from Kathy's brother John and some "Clutter Management Maven" neighbors (Donna & Linda, aka "People with Taste"), we have transformed this home. If it were just in a warmer climate and a little more exciting town...
