TRIPPIN' THURSDAY
In everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose...in our latest season, with only a vague plan and a touch of creativity, we're off on another adventure. Half of this twosome is retired; my half will probably never know what that means. I promise to share.

| Sold the first day |
What
a whirlwind these last few weeks have been. Bittersweet. With only half of us here, the farm isn't a farm, and selling it just seems right. As for the whirlwind...Frank and I have been trippin’
through fields, painting, cleaning, and completing all the repairs we should’ve
tackled

long before now. We met with two realtors and chose Karen Riley, a
delightful woman who was born and raised in Prescott, but has lived in Paulden
for years.
We
must’ve chosen correctly because in the first 48 hours she listed the farm, we
had three offers. We weren’t ready for that! Thinking it would take at least a
couple of months to sell, we really had no plan on

where we would move. And we
still don’t know. We’ve been too busy to look.
We still need to sell the tractor.
Today
we have the home inspection and the well inspection. Next

week will be the
termite inspection and the following week the septic gets pumped. July 7th
is the expected closing date. Looks like it will be quite a fourth of July for
us!

Sharing
some pictures from now and then. I’ll have to let you know just where we’ll be
trippin’ to next…when we know!

Congrats on the sale. I bet you'll miss it. I miss mine 20 years later. Linda
ReplyDeleteI will and I won't. It was a fun adventure while it lasted, Linda, but I'm ready for a new one.
DeleteOh my, I know you're probably very excited about your new life adventure. I'll miss your farm stories. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll miss the fresh organic veggies, Vicki!
DeleteBest of luck, Brenda, on the sale and the move. Change is hard, but change is good, too.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much thrive on change, Stanalei. So...here we go!
DeleteGoodness, it happened fast! Congratulations and best of luck in the final move!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the next adventure. How's the new life working for the kids?
ReplyDeleteIt's just around the corner, Liz. CO is great for the kids. We'll trek there next month hopefully.
DeleteCongratulations on the quick sale - you know it's the right thing to do when everything falls into place so easily. Best wishes on your new adventure!
ReplyDeleteThen why am I so nervous, Ashantay? LOL I guess until the money is in hand...moving so fast.
DeleteGood luck. Sounds like you're going to land on your feet running.
ReplyDeleteBuy a travel trailer and have a mad adventure.
Thanks, Janice. We do have an RV parked in Tonto Basin so that may be where we start!
