Done Deal

 Today, we met up with the young mother and her father, and her little boy. I could tell that the father liked the house a lot. I kind of felt as if they needed time to talk, but they initiated the conversation right away. We all sat around the living room and discussed it. The practicalities. What we could do to help. What we could not do. What she could do. What she could not do. 

After all the cards were laid on the table, I was surprised when Tim laid out a plan that worked for everyone. 

We all mulled it over, and everyone thought it was a fine idea. I said, "Well...I guess that the only thing left to do is make it legal. We'll talk to our lawyer tomorrow." 

It turns out that their lawyer and our lawyer is the same lawyer. 

I said, "I think that we all need to be present to sit down and talk with Ken, for your protection, and for our protection too. We need to make absolutely sure that we are on the same page." 

And the woman said, "Make the appointment. No matter what time. I will be there."

So... today we sold a house, a young mother bought one, and a little boy loved his new loft bed.
