We had a busy weekend. On Saturday, we left a little after 10:00 to drive almost 2 hours to my Dad’s. He recently moved into an assisted living facility. After visiting and having lunch with him there, we went to his old place that he and my step-mom (who just moved into a memory care facility down in the Portland area) just moved out of to pick up a mini fridge for the girls (one or the other) to have for their dorm room. We got back home around 3:30, then we packed up to head over to Crescent Bar. We just sold our condo there, so we needed to clear out some personal belongings before closing on Wednesday. It wasn’t quite warm enough to use the pool yet, but we did go in the hot tub Saturday night, and then on Sunday we took a nice walk with Kona and she got to play in the river a bit and run around in some of the grassy areas.
It was very bittersweet selling the condo. Paul’s family has been going there for over 40 years, and I started going with him in 2005, so 21 years ago. The girls have grown up going there every summer and other times and we’ve had many great times there with family and friends. But the quarterly dues are really high, and the rental income is sometimes less than the dues, plus we are always having to replace bedding and towels, and have had to replace many of the appliances and some of the furniture, so it’s been a big money pit, plus we need the money for the girls’ college. So, it’s a relief in that aspect, but also sad. On the plus side, we had already planned on going there in July and the new owner has agreed to rent it to us, so we will still get to go this summer.
