Captain Pike's Ship Log II

Well folks, Little Miss wonderful seems to have found the house for us. And none too soon, either. You see, her parents are a little toxic which makes living there difficult. It's not a grand Palace, but it has four bedrooms and an attached garage! I don't know if the pool table in the finished basement comes with it or not.



She is an only child and just got a great job near to them and to her two children. Wouldn't you think Mom and Dad would be happy for her? She's got an awesome husband and she just got an awesome job -- I don't know, I'm tickled pink.

The real estate scene in downeast Maine is a little depressed, or should I say depressing? Rather than trying to sell our home here, we will rent the house out, hanging on, we'll hope for a time when property values are higher here, and not every house in town is for sale -- which is how it is today.

Just got off the phone, she forgot to take our checkbook. Making an offer requires $1000 earnest money -- we are going through Remax. If her father will spot her the $$, she'll make an offer this afternoon, if not, it will take a while to get a bank check down in her little paws.

It sure is exciting. Glad I didn't kill myself last week -- I can't wait to see what's going to happen next!
[This just in] got off the phone again, just now, realtor says, "just come over, make the offer..."
... to be continued.
