Mt's with Mom

OK, I am now blogging about my trip to the Mt. house with mom b/c I forgot to fill out her guest book at the house.

For those of you that have already been to the house, you may have seen that my mom has a quest book that she wants people to fill out each time they/we go out. I have not been very good about doing so; so I figured I would mention my weekend on my blog.

We got up there Friday late afternoon and it was cold. Now I know cold for us does mean only in the upper 50's, but that was still a surprise to us. Saturday was filled with wandering around and adventuring... oops i'll finish later

Yet Another Delay

So I was all set to close this Friday when turns out there is an old tax lien on the house. Oh just to the tune of $60,000+, no big deal right.

Well since this house has been in foreclosure twice in the last few years the banks now have to go back and forth trying to figure out which one is going to eat it and clear the title. Now how two separate banks are able to foreclose on a house and miss the fact that there is a tax lien, I have no idea.

So here I am again just waiting. I had to call off my floor guy and my plumber and delay the dumpster being dropped off. So now I think I will escape to the mountains for the weekend and and try not to worry about all these problems.

On a side note, I think I am OK to say now that for those of you that don't know.... Molly is now in California working out many, hopefully all, of her "issues" . The darling angle has been quite a handful over the past few years, as I'm sure many of you have seen, and now she is out trying to fix her life. She is now is a great place. I flew with her out to Salt Lake City the weekend before St. Patricks day and dropped her off with an organization that helped her through the initial phase. To say the least, she hated Utah. So after almost 45 days there she was finally told to leave and seek a more intensive program. She is currently in Newport Beach, California where she is living with a bunch of girls and they are all getting through there "issues" together.

Now I hope I waited long enough and assume this will not be a surprise to most of you. With any luck Molly will get her head back on her shoulders and be that wonderful girl that we all love sometime soon. Keep her in your thoughts.

Homeowners Insurance

Ok so after an agrivating couple of weeks I have finally found someone to Insure my new home. I can't believe that no major companies are issuing new policies anywhere along the East coast. At least within a couple miles of the coast that is.

So now I am all set to close on May 16th. It is really annoying not being able to go over there and start the construction aspect that needs to be done before the move. I did however have my first injury of the new house. On Sunday Rachel and I went over to start spraying GALLONS of RoundUp. The back yard and side lot are covered in terrible looking brush and misc vines. As I was walking around the yard I stepped right on a nail that went through my sandle and into my foot. Not wanting to act too quickly, I waited until Monday morning to go into my Dr and get the shot and anitbiotics. Not too painful and certainly cheaper than going to the ER, which is what Rachel wanted me to do on Sunday. So if that ends up being the only major injury then i'm going to be just fine.

Hope all is well!
