Erieversible 1 - Mailboxes 0
I hang my head in remorse and admit that today I took on a mailbox in the Ford Explorer and, predictably, the mailbox lost. We were looking round houses today and while reversing out of the driveway of one of them I slightly adjusted the angle at which their mailbox was positioned. Just slightly. Or maybe a little more than slightly. We didn’t cut and run but owned up, and our Agent will inform the seller’s agent and make sure things are sorted - I have offered to pay the bill to sort it out, all fair and square.

So, you other drivers out there have nothing to fear from me as long as you are moving. Park, or just obey a stop sign, and you could be next! :-)
What a day! Six houses viewed today, and it was hard work. Add in the three we saw on Sunday and probably 4 out of those 9 are possible candidates. We need to go through all the paperwork and notes we took this evening to reach agreement on each of the 9 houses, but I think we are in general agreement just from the chats while traveling from house to house. The kids’ opinions seem to be based solely on the color and size of the bedrooms - if only life really was that simple.
We got our money back from PictureMe for the rejected passport photos. They were very nice about it. Well done PictureMe! And the money will be useful for the mailbox bill….

Mailbox: I can relate. While on vacation recently my husband & I were learning to use our new GPS, that we call “Maggie” and I almost took out a mailbox because my attention was diverted elsewhere. I say almost because my husband turned the wheel for me just in time or I would have bought a new one. Hang in there. Call a real estate agent to assist your home search.

We have a real estate agent signed up, thanks. We started speaking to him last year and have been keeping track of the market for quite a few months.
We’re thinking of a GPS device. There was no need on an island 33 miles by 13 miles - it was very hard to get lost. Or to get lost for very long! However, the USA is a slightly bigger place and a GPS might be useful. I don’t think we had thought about naming a GPS, but my wife usually names our cars - my new car is as yet unnamed but “Beast” is high up in the running…
