Thursday... Selling the home we loved, but we also love to travel.

 Picture of the day:

Answers: I do miss it a little, especially in the winter. ha!  The cost and care of an indoor pool is probably less than 5% of an outdoor pool. It only took Muratic Acid at times and it added it's own chlorine.  Chemical costs less than $5 a month.

AI pic:  Yeah some noticed no white out, and typewriter is facing the wrong direction. LOL  THANKS y'all!

Now for today:

Sherry and I were enjoying our life, and then it came time she could retire. I was in the process of becoming rich (LOL). I had a subdivision in the works, the land was paid off, I had spent a year's salary for surveying and laying off lots. Every step I took, the city had ‘one more’ requirement. After about 5 of those ‘one more things’. Sherry said, “Forget it Jack. Let’s go on the road and travel like we planned.

WE can't leave this house for months at a time. Too many tragedies possible with an unguarded pool. Let’s sell the house, you build us another and we can travel without that added worry. So we put the house up for sale, I started the duplex (condos) for us and my sister & BIL Dick, on a nice piece of land I had held on to.

That was our RV home on site, so we lived in front of the duplex.

A self made multimillionaire, owner of a couple Textile Mills bought the house on South Main St. WE stored our furniture and moved into our RV at the building site of the condos; living right at the job, nice ;-)

Some stories about this move, a sickening one, but some neat ones.

Sick one today: I contacted a mover, he had a full-page ad in the yellow pages, several phone #s. Told him we were moving and needed to store our furniture until the new home was ready.

WE paid for the move and storage in advance, it was 2 months before we were ready to move in. Then I called the the mover, message: phone was disconnected, all 4 phone #’s disconnected.

LONG story short: Furniture was stolen some of it sold, some recovered about 40-50 miles away in a deserted warehouse. WE got over it, except for the missing octagon shaped end tables Sherry had been so proud of. She still mentions missing them. :-(

Better stories:

Above is Ben & Sherece helping in my office, the pool is right thru that window where Ben is, I loved the view from my desk. ;-)

More on the sale tomorrow, some funny, some curious, and one very spiritually uplifting.
