Ready For Stretch Run

There are now 3 weeks left before we close on our new house. I finished up on all the paperwork yesterday - until they discover there are some forms I missed - and we are heading down the stretch. Although we don't anticipate any hiccups, you never know. The appraisal was done yesterday and we should know the results of that by tomorrow or early next week. As long as it comes in at the sales price or higher, we should be OK.

The thought of coordinating all the stuff that needs to be done is making me a little nervous. We need to notify the resort of the date we are leaving and also extend our stay from May 13. Also, we need to schedule the movers to move our stuff out of storage to the house and cancel the storage space (after almost 7 years), schedule the (new) furniture delivery date, and the rental dates for our utility trailer to move everything from our fifth wheel to the house and pick up our bedroom furniture that we are getting from George and Cheryl. We also have to get somebody to move the fifth wheel into the storage location here at the resort and place our new cover on that for protection. Starting up the utilities is another job along with the mail service - informing our folks in FL that we are establishing a permanent address in Glendale, AZ for forwarding our mail, and eventually cancelling that service. There are many more little things that will require attention that I haven't even thought of as yet.

Deciding what should remain in the fifth wheel is no small task either. We don't know if we will be using it again before we can sell it, so some things may have to stay in storage with the unit. We are - right now, at least - still not ruling out Wyoming for next summer. We'll have to see how this next year goes before making that decision. With Josie being placed on full time status, it might make it difficult to get the summer off for her. My goodness, I don't want to start thinking about that just yet...
