When we got home in May, we were going to sell our house, move to Florida permanently, coming home for 3 months in the summer! Our minds were made up so we started having Open Houses every Sunday. What a chore that was...had to keep the house cleaned all the time, just in case...someone came knocking at the door, which actually happened several times. Our Open Houses did bring people in and as it turned out, we never received an offer, or even an insult! On September 15th, we threw up our hands and the For Sale sign ended up in the dumpster! It wasn't meant to be!!! or as my Daughter Melinda says "Everything happens for a reason"... not sure just what the reason is, but it didn't happen so we agreed that living in Maine was a good thing....we will winter in Florida for as long as we both physically and financially can. Trying to sell our house took up the better part of the summer, but we were busy doing other things also. Here's a brief recap of our Summer and Fall.....
