Day 191: Traveling Expenses, Part 2
The house closing went rather smoothly this morning. What a relief! We ran into the buyer’s at the title company and my mom and the new owners had one more chance to wish each other the best of luck and promise to keep in touch. I’m glad she found buyers who will love the house [...]
