Well where to start... I know it has been a while since I last posted.... I apologize but sometimes life gets in the way. I have been working a lot of extra shifts and been dealing with trying to get closed on this house. If any of you are underwriters or know an underwriter for home loans/mortgages I am sorry. They have to be the weirdest people in the world!!! Some of the stuff that they have asked for is just crazy! Like they wanted a letter from my employer stating that my move to the new house wouldn't affect my employment. My employer looked at me like I was absolutely crazy when I asked then for this!!! She didn't even know what to write! She said that she wanted to put something really, well shall I say not so nice in the letter but thought better of it! So all of the forms and letters and this that and the other have been submitted and the underwriting part is done. Here in Oklahoma however we still have abstracts for our properties. A very antiquated system, but still a requirement for property purchases. The abstract is basically the history of the property since before Oklahoma was even a state(1907). Needless to say the abstract didn't make it to the title company until today and that is certainly not enough time for us to be able to close by Thursday! So closing has been pushed back to Monday or Tuesday!
On the upside I found a White treadle sewing machine for $75!!! All it needed was a good cleaning and a new belt and a little oil here and there and she moves like she did the day she was new! I named her Betty.... get it Betty White!!! I crack myself up sometimes. My realtor just recently sold a property and the previous owners left a vintage sewing machine! She asked me if I wanted it and of course I said yes... I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but soon that day will come. It is in a sewing cabinet and looks to be in good condition but we will see. So there we are I now am the owner of 4 sewing machines with no place to put them quite yet... Does anyone know what that is like to have 4 sewing machines that you can't play with right now because of this transition period!!! I am going a little crazy!!! I hope this finds everyone well and everyone's projects are going great!!! Thank you to whoever you are reading this blog!!!
