Five months ago a couple contacted us who heard we were
planning to move. They offered to buy our house at a reasonable price and give
us a long time till closing. We thought that would be great as it gave us time
to figure out where to buy.
We spent months looking online and touring houses, but just
couldn’t find a place we wanted to call home. Certainly there were houses, but
none really matched the way we would like to live – a small nice home with
one-story living on a lot that would accommodate our trailer. As the closing
date drew near, we decided to put our possessions in storage and live in our
trailer until something came up.
Well, we wanted to downsize, so here we go. It will be nice
not to have to worry about a house and a yard and to have free time to hike and
explore. We will continue to look at real estate and hope something comes up.
In the meantime, we are hoping we will have more adventures to share with you
as we travel around in our trailer.
We closed on our Sudbury
house yesterday, saying good-bye to a very nice home, neighborhood and town,
and we especially think about special times there. We lived there almost 20
years – the place where our girls grew up – and a house we fixed up just the
way we wanted. It’s a bittersweet good-bye, but now we are on to the next
adventure.
First stop is Lake
Dennison in Winchendon
MA. We arrived to a nearly empty campground, but expect things to fill up today
– the start of the Memorial Day weekend. We walked along the lake yesterday and look forward to hiking, letterboxing, and resting.
Here is our home du jour.
