HERE’S MY OUTLOOK.  NEED I SAY MORE????

We’ve just crested the tipping point…..WHEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

House sale – going well so far…but by no means ‘a done deal.’  We have a contract, an appraisal, an inspection, and much to repair. $$$  Workers in and out of the house daily doing various and sundry.  Lots of banging – new roof, new gutters, window frame repairs….amazing all the nitty-gritty underneath and hidden in a house!   (Apartment living is sounding better and better…..)

Need to sell two cars….LMK if you are interested!  2006 Nissan 350Z (vroom vroom) and 2015 Lexus Crossover SUV 350RX, fully loaded.

Our schedule is NUTS and the ‘to do’ list is — well, see for yourself!  

I THINK packers are coming a week from WEDNESDAY–which means DECIDING NOW WHAT GOES AND WHAT STAYS.  How the heck can we possibly make those decisions blindly?!  Eeeeeeee.

This week, hours of French school – repairs and contract negotiations on selling house – “Intercultural training” tomorrow – Expat consultation call on Thursday.  Oh, yeah, one other small detail.  We need to go to the French Consulate in Atlanta ASAP, due to small delays in our visas…..  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I told you no one in France works in August. 🙂

Looks like D-DAY is ~October 15 now….as soon as packers & movers come, we hit the hotel and I’m heading for Tulsa to see Mom, Larry, Myrna, and Cheryl!  Then to Augusta and Atlanta to get bear hugs from our kids.  No crying allowed.  (HA.)  We DID have a great time in Hilton Head on Labor Day Weekend!

Stay safe in this storm!  We expect 55 mph gusts and damaging winds today.  Looks like Brendan will have the same in Atlanta, and probably close to that for Robert & Leslie in Augusta.  Soraya is holed up in Ocala, FL at the hospital where she works.  At least there are generators at the hospital and food!  We are personally so blessed and thankful….and praying for those who didn’t escape the destruction.

FUN FACT OF THE DAY!

Bet you didn’t know…more people speak French in Africa than in Europe!

à bientôt!

PS  Happy birthday, SUSAN!!!!!

Psalm 46:10.  “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”  My favorite verse of all time.
