#69 - Paperwork accompli

Tuesday, March 13

Today I am thankful that this process is nearly done.  I'll keep repeating that for the next month, probably.  Because it'll be almost done for that long.  Hard to believe we started this process just over 2 months ago and we've come this far, both literally and figuratively.

I got to work on paperwork to sell the Beaverton house today.  All done except for the signatures of 2 witnesses.  Plane tickets for the family were purchased early this morning, so all of that is done.  Done done done.

So - one day of work, one day of touring homes and making an offer, and then we're just into negotiations for the new house.  The weather here has turned.  It is a "winter like I can't remember" said the owner of the nursery I stopped by on Saturday.  70 degrees today, tomorrow, and Thursday.  Beautiful all week.  Buds and flowers are starting to pop up.  Early spring.  We had snow 10 days ago.  Craziness.  That's NY.

This view of the Hudson River looking North is taken from the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park.  The state took an old railroad bridge and converted it to a pedestrian walkway that spans the Hudson.  It was part of my 10 miles on foot from Saturday.  The span is 150 ft above the water, which is 50 ft deep at this point.  Anyway, cool thing.  Gotta get to sleep now.
