I am Back , I was last on this blog in June and a lot has happen since . After a lot of sole searching we sold our house to a couple in the community. To make the deal work we financed most of the purchase price. I am comfortable with the arrangements . We got enough $$ up front and have good guarantor . We moved to the Charleston SC area in August into a rented house in the Elms , (over 55 community)  Getting settled in more about that later.

Before we left Smithfield , we contracted to have a walk and pier added to the other lot in order to enhance the salability , no luck yet . We had a month long permitting process and we move about time they started construction. The contractor I used I had used before , not sure what happen to him  , but he turned sorry. The job is done but I can't get him back to clean up the site.

We are slowly getting to know our way around the new community , the cost of living here is much higher than Johnston county NC but the choices for everything are much much greater . Stephen & family are 20 minutes away with no traffic . The church & soccer field are 15 minutes away.

We have contracted to buy house in this sub division and will close on12/4 and move over the rest of the month being out of here by 12/31 . I hate the thoughts of moving again , but this should be the last move for a while and VJ wants the house badly . The house has a nanny suite which may come in good in the future .


VJ has been having trouble  with her teeth , so I contacted the MUSC dental school  and we saw  DR I . The first visit he told us "I know nothing about Huntington's "    . When we returned the next week he had team with a  genetics and after a search of some dental data base found only three cases of dental diseases in HD folks . He & the team working on VJ told us VJ dental problem are serious and she most likely will suffer the loss of all her lower front teeth. He is suggesting they use VJ's case as  a study project , we will see how that goes. We will return in a few weeks

 The election is over and it didn't go the way I wished  , but with the bunch in Washington we are in deep shit anyhow .Stand by to pay more tax no matter what you tax bracket and stand by for more regulation , another form of tax. I read an article today about the hostess bakery issue  and if you read carefully you find the real problem is not the baker union , but the teamster and there work rules. The bakery will be back  , but in a right to work state , and the mean time 18000 folk are on unemployment . My Rant for today !

Lunch today with Stephen & his family , great food & company  Thanksgiving !!

Life is good !!!
