LONG DAY

It was my intention to just do utilities today. Get the transfer of gas, water, electric under way.

I did do that but in the middle we found we were holding on to the escrow papers unnecessarily and went and signed them over. Notarized.

Then John took a whole lot of old clothing to the second hand place.

More, we sent the keyboard back east to family for their disposition.

A lot of travelin' for the Jeep. And Sebring too.

The escrow process is pretty much complete. They have to pass it by the Tribal Council (it is on Indian Land and we pay a lease every year although the HOA is negotiating a final sale.). Then to the Land Title recording and finally the close.

We need to send the rest of the money. We will do that tomorrow.

There is no final ceremony. When the deed is recorded they let the brokers know and the keys are passed.

Back east, we would be meeting in a room full of lawyers and signing paper for two hours.

Not here. It is all done by an "escrow agent" for about five hundred dollars.

I like this way better.
