So, something bad finally happened. About 9 days ago, the buyers of our home in Montpelier backed out of the sale. For a day or two, we didn't know whether we would be able to go ahead and buy the house in Champaign, IL. Thank goodness Dick and the bank worked it out.
I had to ask for my job back, in case I had to stay until the house sold. Yes, I could have it back, thanks to the generosity of the O.M. Fisher Home, Inc., Board of Directors. Thankfully I didn't have to take them up on the offer, buying of the house in IL. is still on.
So, I decided that we should allow no one to take away our plans for our new life.
OK, the house is not sold, it's back on the market, but we are still moving ahead.
With the help of good friends, the house will be looked after.
Friends helped me through the last weekend there, greeting movers, cleaning, etc.
On Monday, after the van was packed, everything gone, I went through the upper level and vacuumed and washed the floors, one last time. Each room held so many memories, Molly as a baby, Susie in her window seat. Christmas trees, birthday parties, molly hiding in a kitchen cabinet.
Goodbye house, goodbye Montpelier!
