Their home was lovely. Both the decor and furnishings and art were wonderful. Every part of the home had been re-furbished and updated. The two car garage was made over as the most elegant billiard table. In other words, their projects were over in that home. Last year at this time they held a cocktail party, something they have done every year, always very successfully. Each year the number of people in attendance has grown so that last year Ken, when leaving, commented to Sarah that they needed a bigger house!! Everyone laughed, except Andy and Sarah.
Tonight, Ken and I will attend their first party in their new home. Being very brave and energetic, they bought this lovely oldish home on it's large lot in a fine neighborhood. The good thing was that the house had never been updated at all, anywhere in the house, which meant that the house did not sell immediately. The grass cloth wall paper was everywhere and was old and tired. Sarah and Andy know how to "fix" a house, so they bought it, contingent on the sale of their own home, except two weeks later another offer came in on their new home. They did what any brave purchaser would do, was to remove their home sale contingency and proceed with their purchase. Fortunately, their old home sold and settled, prior to their purchase. Since that time, they have been busy with their new home. But Sarah has told me that they have enough projects for the next ten years, which is a good thing.
For my part, Tonight, I will enjoy their lovely home, at their uncrowded party. And once again, be thankful for Ken's honesty.
