Homeowners!

As of 5pm yesterday, after a long and complex closing, Dawg and Lola became the proud owners of a lovely, but completely useless, 19th century house! Owners and house are doing fine.

Pictures of the little dumpling will be posted later.

It's really happening

We just got a call from the notaire. He wants us to sign the act de vente next Friday. Dawg and I looked at each other for a second, then panicked. We decided to put off the signing until the following Thursday (Sept. 29th). We need to get our heads straight. There is so much to do...get insurance...arrange to have all the junk cleared out of the house....start lining up potential builders...talk to our architect friends...figure out how we're going to pay for all this....ack!

It's incredibly exciting. And scary.
