WOO HOO!!!!!!

Finally, finally, the house in the UK has sold!  I can't quite believe it.  Not only that but the money went straight into my bank.
Am so excited I can hardly write.  It's Thanksgiving Day here so what a Thanksgiving that has been.  We have an appointment with our realtor next Tuesday!
YIPPEE!!!

A date!

Well, actually two dates were received today.  Both significant in other ways too.  November 11th (Remembrance Day) for the exchange of contracts on the house and the 28th November (Thanksgiving Day) for completion!!  If that really happens we will certainly have something to give thanks for.
I love Thanksgiving here in America.  People tend to give thanks on every day of November leading up to the day itself.  Sometimes published on FaceBook and other times at family times in a home.  One of my thankful things for today is that we were able to spend a whole day with Chloe yesterday at the Wild Animal park.  She really had a great time and so did we.  She is a blessing and a joy and it was just lovely to have that time.

and again....

Well, the completion date for the house has come and gone.  It's now going to be at the end of November - well, I won't be holding my breath.   Good grief!
Halloween last night was just wonderful though.  The US of A really knows how to do stuff like this.  Here are the pics......











We did some neighbourhood trick or treating, but mostly we were at the church Trunk or Treat and the Pumpkin Patch.
