folks, we have a winner!

Well whaddya know, we're under contract with a buyer. How about that!

We passed our septic inspection on Tuesday.

We passed our termite inspection today.

Next is the appraisal (no appointment set yet - fingers crossed they'll wait until after we leave).

Then the final home inspection is scheduled for August 3rd.

If all goes well, we're scheduled to close escrow on September 5th.

And now, for something completely different.

The goodie box my co-workers put together for Jay and me, which was presented during my going-away lunch.

Sriracha sauce, whiskey, chaser (aka, cola), gourmet beef jerky, Deschutes Brewery brew, real Korean seaweed snack (not that Trader Joes garbage ), Orbitz White, Icebreakers, Twinkies, candy, chips, and Moon Pies (and a suction-cup sun screen for driving comfort).

FOLKS, I WILL MISS THESE PEOPLE.
