We heard from the sales person at Herritage at Miami Bluffs. She sent an email asking if there was anything that she could do for us. Robert answered "Yes, you can get us a lot." In the meantime our real estate agent called to purchase two of my crinkle scarves. I mentioned this email to her. She said that she would call Mary and find out what is going on. Then we hear back from Mary. It turns out that she didn't really email us, that was an auto generated email with her name on it. There was nothing new, but she "hoped that we would be in our new house in 2014." OK, that statement didn't fill me with hope. It sounds as if she doesn't think that this is going to be happening. Douglas and Michelle were up for Christmas. The running gag all week was how many more years it would be before we moved. I got a new set of pots and pans and a cookboo holder. These will be unopened until we move into the new house. Again, how long until that happens. My sister Cindy called on Christmas after discussing all sorts of other things we talked aobut the house and when we will be moving. She told me that if they do not have a plat map at this point nothing has gone to the planning commission and it will be 3 years minimum before we will be moving in. She sent me a link to a few different 55+ communities in Northern Kentucky. I don't really want to move to Kentucky, Douglas and Michelle will be living north of the city and while I don't want to be across the street, I would like to be within 12 miles of where they live. However if Drees cannot get their act together maybe we should look into that. I will have to find out if Denise is licenced to practice real estate in Kentucky. We are currently planning to go down the 3rd weekend in January. If Drees hasn't come through I guess that we could start to look elsewhere.
