Been very busy since getting back to the Rockford area. We have a final walk through next Friday and then close on a condo in Roscoe on the 26th. Kay has been busy getting stuff out of storage and sorting it, keep and garage sale, and shopping for furnishings. We're are staying in the RV at Scott's and Robins. I started playing softball (old geezers league) again. Doing terrible so far, 3 year layoff having it's effect. I've been helping Scott with the scrap metal and we've both been catching up on visiting and having lunch with children. Kay has been doing very well until last night. We're having supper at Golden Corral and she reached for her purse and her right shoulder made popping sound and it has been very sore and tender since. Weather has been terrible, HOT and muggy. Just enough rain in area to keep the humidity unreal plus we are having much warmer weather as usual like a lot of the country. We were able to take advantage of the economic recover on the purchase of the Condo. Qualified for the Home Start program and using that instead of the VA Loan. Less out of pocket money and will have about $4,000 of the loan dismissed if we keep the condo for 10 years. 3% of the loan is a separate loan with no interest and discharged in 10 years if we still own the condo. Haven't contacted all of family and friends yet, but will as we can, after we get settled in our new home for sure.
