Our Threshold in Woodside Heights

After 7 months of marriage, my new husband finally carries me over our new threshold!

We closed in a record 1-1/2 hours on Thursday. Our lawyer, Bob Dubno, blew the other lawyer away. He was extremely together and kept things on track, when the other lawyer was fumbling with his paperwork.

Yesterday Rob and I took down my work from Proteus Gowanus, and drove it over to the new house. When we drove up to the house, Ray the Realtor, came over and gave us a nice housewarming bamboo plant, welcoming us. Chaim ran across the street to our new corner store to get some beer to toast with. He returned elated, with a six pack of Modelo Especial, exclaiming that "it was only $7.00!!!"

Rachel, the seller was so great. She had cleaned every inch of the house, and even left 4 rolls of toilet paper, extra slate tiles for the kitchen, and miscellaneous house fixing and cleaning supplies. Today we will go and take measurements and discuss how life in our new house will be like.

Hi Nancy,
thanks for the postcard and the invite to MV. We'd like to take a rain check. We will see you all in Buffalo next, and I look forward to meeting you in person.

Hi Micki,
No worries, you've got your hands full. What is Harley going to do with all that space?
