26098. arkymalarky - 7/31/2010 7:10:59 AM It was really wonderful! I'll postr pics sometime soon--I hope! 26099. arkymalarky - 8/2/2010 4:54:16 AM Spent all summer spinning my wheels. Seemed like I was busy the whole time and accomplished next to nothing. Now we're ending a full day at Gulf Shores, just for Bob and me, and it's been great. Beautiful beach, no tarballs, so Bro will be disappointed at not getting one. What we noticed was the dearth of birds, sea life in general. We saw some rays and at dusk a lot of jumping fish, but no jellyfish and little of anything else. Kinda creepy, really, especially as compared to Cocoa Beach, where we saw dozens of pelicans. 26100. arkymalarky - 8/2/2010 4:56:49 AM Cocoa Beach seemed to have a lot of sea life in general. Mose had a great time there. Thought i'd get pics up, but didn't do much but rest. 26101. iiibbb - 8/3/2010 4:56:57 PM We sold the house!!!
The low-ball came back after we ignored them and they found out we were going to rent it. So they met our lowest price.
Not making a killing... lost money on the "investment", and don't have enough to put a down payment on a car. However, we're in the black, I don't have to deal with our real estate agent ever again, and we won't have to suck up a mortgage payment (minus rent) every month for another year. 26102. iiibbb - 8/3/2010 4:57:32 PM We close tomorrow, but all the contingencies have been met... no reason for it to fall through now. 26103. Jenerator - 8/3/2010 5:50:27 PM CONGRATULATIONS iiibbb!!!
What a relief.
PS - Any time you need me to babysit that adorable son of yours, just let me know!!
:-) 26104. arkymalarky - 8/3/2010 5:53:38 PM What a relief for y'all! 26105. iiibbb - 8/3/2010 8:04:09 PM You're telling me.
The only spilt milk is we would've sold it twice last year for at least 10K more if there weren't a unfinished home that ran out of money there at the time.
Ahh well. I'll take what I got. 26106. iiibbb - 8/3/2010 8:05:19 PM The boy had a great first visit to the ocean last week. Met his 1-month younger cousin and all of his older cousins. In spite of starting off the week with a cold, he had a blast. 26107. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 2:46:56 AM Nothin's more fun than cousins when you're a kid. 26108. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 5:43:03 AM I'm going to try something and if it doesn't work I'll delete:
26109. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 5:43:32 AM Oooh. Cool, if I say so myself. 26110. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 5:44:11 AM Wabbit, guess which one of those is posted just for you. 26111. judithathome - 8/4/2010 3:33:24 PM I love that shot with the tent thingy!!
Beautiful kids! Beautiful wedding! 26112. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 3:38:35 PM Thanks! They're really great together. Bob and I couldn't be happier. Wish they were coming this weekend, but they won't get home until Sunday. 26113. Jenerator - 8/4/2010 8:43:19 PM What a true beauty. 26114. arkymalarky - 8/4/2010 9:35:54 PM Thanks! Looking at the pictures of your lovely daughter in Escapes, my first thought was how short a distance in time from there to here. It goes so fast! 26115. wabbit - 8/4/2010 10:19:13 PM LOL! How is she doing? Say hey for me - for my life I cannot think of her "American" name, but I remember her real name (can't spell it, of course).
I remember you and Diva comparing notes when the girls were in Jr. High. Time sure does fly. The wedding pics are lovely. They really are a great couple. 26116. wabbit - 8/4/2010 10:20:00 PM iiibbb, congrats on the house sale - must be an enormous relief. 26117. iiibbb - 8/4/2010 10:33:58 PM It is, but it's getting it's last lick in. After resolving a $1200 savings for myself and my wife, the septic inspector/repair guy found an additional $600 repair, today. I'm not there to question it, get a second opinion or whatever, and I'm sure he knows I'm not going to stop the closing to tell him not to fix it.
Oh well.
It's done.
