supposed to close on June 5th, but the sellers were short repayment to their 1st and 2nd mortgage... I guess they were overextended ..... Anyway "all's well that ends well" and we have a nice home on the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood, close to work in Durham! I have painted 7 rooms! Many of the previous owner colors were dark and dreary and I required 3-4 coats to cover them!! UGH... I didn't have to go to the gym in 4 weeks working by day and painting by night, I lost 4 pounds! My Dad installed 48 knobs on kitchen and bathroom cabinets in one day!!!!! For some reason the previous owners didn't believe in knobs! Thanks to Home Depot we now have them! Myron schlepped back and forth from the apartment 3 miles away and over the last 4 weeks moved all our stuff while teaching fulltime in the summer session at NCSU! What a guy! We hired movers to move his heavy office furniture, but other than that we did it ourselves! I decorated and we are now ready for guests!
OBX starts on Aug 8th and Jim and Lynn DePaolo, friends from Vermont are going to join us there for one week and two of our sons and significant others will join us for sun, surf and fun! Today we put up 4 2" faux wood blinds and a shower rod and put books in bookshelves.
Here are pix of Myron with a bolt cutter... scary .
A few weeks ago we were in Vermont for a few days for Myron consulting and Anna visiting son and friends. Here is a pix of professional musician,Sean, playing at Cactus Cafe in Stowe, VT.

Love Anna and Myron
