Happy Monday!


















Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

The last post was dated May 31st, and the weekend has come and gone again! You may wish to refer to my recent posts for a bittidz of background.

Should say that we have had more tidbit interest in our home; ie Another realtor who had noticed that our listing had lapsed. We met with her on Wednesday morning, and a showing took place on Thursday afternoon.

Her clients want to downsize and move into our 'neck of the woods.' They had seen an apartment / condo in the same complex, but they emphatically stated that they would like to relocate to a townhouse in the same compound. Our complex consists of a mix of both apartments and townhouses.

To make a long story short, her people viewed our home and loved it! Subsequently over the weekend, the realtor told us, however, that they were concerned about the stairs; as the wife has arthritis. The husband who, is in the healthcare / medical business, is not too keen about installing an 'elevator chair', due to 'oil leakage?' from the machine. We are surprised about this issue of the 'stairs'; as the realtor is quite familiar with this complex. We would truly like to think that it is not a bit of a ruse on her part to procure the listing; as she appears to be both personable and professional. Apparently, she has someone else interested in taking a look; so we shall see what transpires.

As an update too, we have not signed the 'offer' from the other realtor; as we feel 'certain details' are not quite right and / or fully accurate. The offer is unrealistic (even their realtor suggested to them, we would not accept their 'low ball' offer as it stands presently). Thus, everything has been strictly verbal and hence non-binding. Also, we have added a loft; and this extra square footage a) was not included by the realtor and b) has been ignored by the potential buyer. We learn now, that these people want to remove this attractively added tidbitz space! If that is their wish, fine; however, we would like to believe that if there is a revised offer, it should be an equitable one, and a win / win for all.

We also are expecting calls from a couple of other realtors; and most likely, we will be meeting with them in the next day or two. Alan and I have been 'straight up' with all the realtors (forty approx) who have inquired, about this potential listing. It is now just a matter of interviewing a few, to select who best can service our needs; and not just for their own purposes. We will choose someone who has integrity, transparency, and genuinely cares about helping others.

We are still working on other options; and we are hopeful to have a bittid more news later today. We have a few appointments this afternoon.

Tidbit - Place all your Trust in Him, so that He can Prevail in His Majesty, to Provide your needs. 'Rely Not Upon Your Own Understanding'; turn EVERYTHING over to Him, and acknowledge Him with Prayers and Thanksgiving.

Bittid - Ask Him also for Understanding, Wisdom, Clarity, Grace, and for the 'Fruits of the Spirit.' Ask for the Holy Spirit to indwell within you; and Surrender to Him to Guide your path; as 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light.'

The 'Purple Braveheart', which is thriving in its new abode, is providing us with many beautiful blooms! Another one of God's wonderful creations and Blessings!

Love the photo image; looks so tranquil, calm, and restful. May you enjoy today (actually each and every day!).

Peace and God Bless.
