Elston, how well I can relate to those feelings! The temporary suspension of life is SOOO difficult. We can't live normally in the house while the house is on the market, and we can't live as we wish until we plant our feet firmly on Maine soil. It's so frustrating! I feel like Wylie Coyote suspended in mid-air, poised to run the second my feet touch ground.....waiting.......waiting.................. .......waiting.................................... ....
We've long since said goodbye to our life here, so the feeling of being displaced is overwhelming some days. In our hearts, we've already begun life in Maine with new surroundings, new pleasures and new friends - friends we can't visit for the holidays this year.
I can tell you this.........when we finally get there and meet some of you face-to-face.........catch your breath, because I'll be hugging the stuffing right out of you!!! YaYas, watch for me!
Oh, and try steeping a few slices of orange, cloves, a cinnamon stick for money and good fortune and pinch of sage leaves for wishes fulfilled. It smells divine!

I did do an orange and cinnamon and clove pot pourie on the stove and it smells pretty heavenly!
El, you understand exactly what I am feeling--my church community has been my strongest tie to my California life, but now I don't feel a part of it; and when folks ask me about the move and I say, " we have to wait until we sell the house" and they say with all good intentions....."well I know its not what you want but the longer it takes the better for us!" I feel misunderstood and very detatched. It isn't an exageration to call it an emotional crises.
The showing that I talked about earlier on this thread, Didn't Happen. No one came at 11, still not here at 12 and still no-one at 1:17. The so-called realtor lacked the professionalism and the common courtesy to call to cancel. I am so sick of being at the beck and call of people like that. The bloom is definately off the rose.
