Greetings from hot-n-humid central!

Ah yes, summer is in full swing here in the Volunteer state. But, it has not yet hit 100 which is more than I can say for other cities in the US. God has given me much grace to deal with the heat (as most of you know, I'm from San Diego...I get grumpy when temps fall outside of the 68 - 74 range - that's Fahrenheit by the way).

Just wanted to report that things are moving forward on our home purchase!! The appraisal contingency has been lifted from the contract and we have the home inspection this coming Wednesday. If all goes well, closing will be a little over 2 weeks away. We'll have just slightly more than a month to move, which is helpful....I'm planning my boxless move strategy as we speak. The thought of packing up a box so soon after unloading 10,000 of them makes me a bit spun out. If anyone would like to help, I will feed you...well....with chocolate, bbq and whatever else it takes.

One last item of note - we have our first official visitors arriving today! You'll have to stay tuned to see just who it is.

humid hugs and kisses,
k
