Congratulations, Marjie, it looks gorgeous! I'm so happy for you....I loved this line ".....when I took in my first tenant and started making Rain Man-esque money moves that, along with a very lucky life, allowed this to happen..." It reminded me of my good friend (we'll call her "D" to protect her privacy). She had a series of multifamilies and then found a huge, historic house that she fell in love with and, no matter how it happened, she was going to have it. She filled the extra rooms with tenants, in a harmonious little community, over many years, along with leaving her corporate job for entrepreneurial/teaching activities that she loved. Back then (way before 2016), when she was juggling all these unusual RE transactions, we liked to call her "D... Trump" but, obviously, we'd never call her that now!
Yes! You're there, and you will do it and I really know that the fear is an important (though difficult, yuck) part of it. You know that you're there with you, remember.
But an important question that I haven't seen addressed is: where is your fuck cup collection???
Congratulations, Marjie!! Finally! The house is beautiful. So is everything in it. I'm so glad you and Alice are making it home and finding comfort, peace, and happiness. I trust the fear of loneliness will abate as you settle in and things settle down at last.
The last lines about having an abundance of excitement, fear, and gratitude brought tears. I'm so happy for you and that goes way beyond the house.
You've got this, and I can't wait for the next chapter. PS, if you're into fun ghost stuff let me know, there's a rather well -known ghost hunter who lives there; he's published a book and he loves his dog. You might bump into him one day!
Marjie, your dream house is fabulous! I'm so thrilled for you! You will make it your dream HOME soon filled with joy, laughter and people and your creative juices!!!!. Don't stress about being lonely.......you won't be.
I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to spend the 3 days with you!
You have created a beautiful and peaceful place! It is definitely the place you should be at this point in your life!
You definitely are in Gayberry with its small town drama and characters; a lot of tea will be spilled for sure!
You are in the center of the circus and also a one minute walk to ocean bliss!
You will get into a familiar routine and write your hopefully Gayberry series!
The material will definitely come!
You are writing a new chapter and you will thrive there!
And I am so happy for you because you worked hard to create that beautiful space!
You deserve it! You absolutely deserve it!

Basically this! I’ve shared my kitchen and home for so many decades, for good and bad.

It shall be moving, never fear!
Wonderful to hear that you’re beginning to settle into your new home.
Thank you!
Take the Winter to take root in your new soil, so you can bloom vibrantly in the Spring. Happy acclimating!
Thank you!
Congrats - what you’ve gotten done looks greats!
Thanks!

Oh that would be fun!
His name is Adam Berry. :-)
Sounds divine!! Happy homecoming!
Thank you!
It is just beautiful.
Thank you!
PS: I love Utilities too!
Congratulations, Marjie. It looks wonderful. I hope you enjoy!
Thank you!
I am so happy for you … and living vicariously through your experience. Do well! Be happy!
Thank you!
I’m in love with the staircase!
It’s so dramatic, and makes the place feel so much bigger than its 1,400-ish square feet total.
Marjie, your dream house is fabulous! I'm so thrilled for you! You will make it your dream HOME soon filled with joy, laughter and people and your creative juices!!!!. Don't stress about being lonely.......you won't be.
Thank you, friend. I’ll have to get you there for a visit. It’s a quick ferry ride in good weather!
The light coming in !!!
It’s so great.
