The house closing went rather smoothly this morning.  What a relief!  We ran into the buyer’s at the title company and my mom and the new owners had one more chance to wish each other the best of luck and promise to keep in touch.  I’m glad she found buyers who will love the house as much as my mom did.

After the closing we had a ton of little errands to run before we could get on the road for the long drive home.  Luckily, most of the errands involved only time and patience; only a few involved spending money
