The sale of our former home in Houston was final last week and the money electronically transfered to our checking account. Yesterday we used part of those funds to pay off the mortgage on our current home in Prescott! So this morning we should be mortgage free! Yea!!!
Although the housing market in Houston is still strong we had a few stumbles along the way (see my posting from April 23). But that's all behind us now. Someone else is the lucky owner of the little house on Deal St. I hope that have a good of a life there as we did.
Selling the house cuts our final tangible ties with Houston. That doesn't mean we won't come back to visit once in a while but we're not Texans any longer. That's kind of sad as we had a long and fulfilling time there--over 20 years! We've made good friends and good memories. Now we're working at making the most of this new period in our lives. Manzanita Village is all that we expected and more. The folks are wonderful and there's plenty to do both work and play--so we're never at a lost for "something to do". We've joined the local UU church and are becoming active there. Those were two good ways to become involved in this area and there's lots of overlay between the two communities since many of our UU friends live here at the Village and many Villagers are members of one or other of the local UU churches. Other connections will come with time but we've got a good base for the rest of our lives here.
