Hurry Up and Wait

Yet another postponement.  This time the closing date was moved forward one week to Friday, 12/10.  We are "camping" in our house with our bed and a table and a few kitchen supplies.  Borrowed a soup pot and a can opener this morning from our lovely neighbor, the Queen of Petaluma, Frieda.  On a gray, rainy day, there is something about making a hearty soup that is just as comforting as eating it.  This morning we also spoke with a boat broker, Kate, at Rogue Wave in Annapolis, MD.  Two boats have piqued our interest - one in Annapolis and one in Trinidad - though we know that we are many miles and many boat viewings away from making a selection.  The conversation with Kate gratefully lured us out of our fretting over this house deal for a few moments and sparked our excitement about our coming adventure.
