Thanks for all the crossed bits.  We awoke this morning with a counter from the sellers.  I’ll paraphrase: We want a shorter closing and oh, we aren’t coming down on the price.  Thankssssss

So we countered and met them in the exact middle in terms of money and left it at a thirty day close.  If they aren’t happy with that I think we’re walking away.  Walking away would sort of suck since I’ve already painted and know exactly where my furniture lives in the house - in my mind, of course.  However, there are a few others on our short list and we’ll just move down it until we find a fit.

So we got home Tuesday late afternoon.  Packed a bunch.  Had men come to our home and move away all the packed stuff.  Made an offer on a house.  Moved furniture around to stage the house.  Countered on a house.  Did scads of laundry.  Packed.   And tomorrow we leave for NC for a week.  When we get home David leaves again for San Diego for two weeks.  I’m very tired just reading our calendar.  No wonder I can’t manage to squeeze in a pedicure!
