Update #4
What a month!!!
We are living in our new "digs" but far, far from settled. The closing on the old house took place yesterday but what an experience to get to that point. It came VERY close to not happening at all. Long story short... when I paid off the mortgage, some 17 years ago, the bank that held the mortgage never recorded it so when they were doing the title search the old mortgage showed up as being unpaid. It would take me an hour to tell you what took place to get it resolved... but it was with only hours to go before settlement. Briefly, the original bank that I got the mortgage from sold it to another bank who then merged with another bank who then merged with yet another bank. Somewhere, over the course of time, the records for my loan got lost. To start with, I'd like to have back time I spent on trying to prove that I'd paid the loan. That was time I desperately needed to pack up our things and get moved but that all had to wait. Needless to say there was no time for writing during that ordeal. Now I'm faced with sorting though all the hastily packed boxes trying to find things... so it'll be a little longer until I can get back to writing... but I will! For those of you who still stop by... THANKS!!!

Update #3
We’re making progress... although it’s agonizingly slow. The past week was especially hectic and I rarely had a free moment to check on-line. Was finally approved for a “bridge loan” and after settling on that made arrangements for the settlement on the condo... all the while meeting with people who were purchasing various household components that we had designated to sell (memorabilia, collections, etc). On top of that I had to meet with contractors to do work on the condo itself (painting, remodeling and the like), potential movers and, the most time consuming boxing the things we’re going to take with us. I truly haven’t forgotten “Fancy Panties” but my conscience has me focused on the goal of getting out of here, (settlement is the last week in August) and into the condo. If I find a free hour or two I’ll write some more. I do hope those of you who read “Fancy Panties” will continue to have patience... and again, thanks for the favorable comments.
