A lovely walk

After running errands this afternoon, we went out to Beaver Lake Nature Center to stretch our legs a bit. The sun played peekaboo from behind clouds, but it was a lovely day.

There are some trees that are still showing some of their fall finery:


A large number of Canada Geese were on Beaver Lake, most of them honking loudly. Those tiny dots in the photo are some of the geese:


We also saw two deer and a rabbit during our meanderings, although I was unable to get any photos.

James told Aidan that when he was a boy, he used to swing on vines a la Tarzan. Thanks, James. The rest of the walk involved Aidan looking for vines and asking to swing on them:




In total, we walked just under 3 miles - not bad for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Done

We no longer own a house in Georgia - happy, happy, joy, joy. It took sixteen months, changing real estate agents and paying money at closing to do it, but it is done.

We sold for less than we paid for the house, we sold for less than we owed and we put a lot of money and effort into improvements over the years, but I refuse to add it all up to determine the total loss; sometimes not knowing is better. And while I normally don't believe that money buys happiness, in this situation, we definitely bought ours...and we satisfied our financial obligation and kept our good credit rating intact. All in all, we did okay.

The best part is that we can now close that unfortunate chapter in our lives and move on.
