Rivercrest Cottage sold on...
Tuesday, July 9, 2019.
We closed that chapter of our lives and wish the new cottage owners well. It was a solid built home and gave us many years of protection from the winter storms and hot Texas sun.
We gave away or sold most of our furniture and stored our favorite possessions in a couple of storage units in town while we explore treatment options with a "team" approach (in other states) for Wild Bill.

The prayers and advice we've received from so many of you have helped guide and sustain us while we traveled through the uncharted territory of change and transition.
We've finally come out the other side ready to begin anew once we decide where we will end up!
Thank you for traveling along with us. Many of your comments helped me through some sad times, and I can't tell you how much your e-friendships have meant to me.

Pat, that would be fun. We drove through Missouri and up to Illinois the other day to stay with Middle Daughter and family. Heading down to Tennessee and Mississippi on Wed or Thurs to check out houses and treatment.
DeleteCongratulations on your sale! I continue to wish you all the best as the next chapter and adventure begins - I hope you'll continue to take us all along!!
ReplyDeleteTake care my blogging friend, and all the best of vibes coming from my corner of VA!!
Thank you Kim. I hope to adopt a furry friend or two once we're settled. I always think of you and the work you do when I see an older dog needing a home and someone to love them. May you be doubly blessed for the courageous work you do.
DeleteThere's something better waiting for you I know it. A new chapter in your life. Well done for the sale. Change is always hard.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the sale of your home! I know it is all so very bittersweet. You are moving onward and upward and we can't wait to see your new home and hear how the treatments are going! Love to you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to sell your home so quickly! All the things you’ve sold will be loved by someone. You were so wise to get rid of so much and to store some special things. Best of luck as you start a new chapter.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest post but still it made me feel sad. I'm happy for the person who bought your beautiful home. You are coming back, aren't you...to your blog? Can't wait to find out where you and Bill settle down next, and see your new home. I think about you both often. I'm sure you will find the most fabulous town and home there is out there. Good luck to you both. Love, Henny
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Much love in your new journey.
