    Smile Moving to Florida

    Char will love this: I am moving to Gainesville, Florida ASAP. My house in Ohio will be put on the market in September and should sell wihtin 90 days, according to the realtor. No dates are official yet but my mom needs to move down there before Thanksgiving. So when I am not thinking about crusing, I am thinking about that.

    Congratulations on moving so soon! Do you have a place lined up to live yet?

    I hope your house sells the first week and you get your price. I moved here from Boca FL, where I was for about 13 years. I liked living in Florida. I hope you enjoy it too. I liked living where I could see the ocean all the time.

    My sister Karen will look at apartments for me because I can't fly down there for a week of appointments. She will take pictures of them and knows to look for one within walking distance of stores and restaurants that accepts two cats.

    The realtor predicted Mom can sell it within 90 days for $175K if not more. Looking at the calendar, I am thinking we have only 75 days to move before Thanksgiving unless she can get it ready in a very short time. What sucks is she expects to need a month for finishing preparations.

    Of course, I want to see you and Bob personally when I get down there.

    Post Update

    Except for cleaning, the house is almost ready for display. I have unsucessfully tried to make it more than 99 percent perfect, but it should not be on the market too long despite a few defects suich as hinges being the wrong color. I asked Mom how long she can expect to wait for an offer. She said, "About a month."

    Now I am panicking about the apartment search. My sister hasn't started looking at them yet less than a month before we get a for sale sign. I am wondering if I need to go down to Gainesville so I can be absolutely sure apartments are being "investigated" now. Am I worrying too much about that? Do I need to settle down?
