  My parents have bought a home in Amherst, NY. Its more than 300 sq. ft. larger than our current house and is BRAND NEW. That's the biggest surprise to me. It isn't even done being built yet. Construction is scheduled to finish sometime in August, but my parents are still leaving in July and will stay in a hotel until its done.
The concern they have about that is what to do with Vickie. I have a feeling she will be staying here, but my hope is that Sue (my Dad's co-worker and Vickie's former owner) will take her in. The house is 2 stories plus a basement, with the top floor being a decent sized loft. The basement that is the full size of the house. There are two bedrooms with the loft acting as a third. There is also a kitchen with a dinette and a separate dining room, living room, two walk-in closets, and a two car garage. It comes with a real porch in the front of the house and their new association will pay for all gardening and water.
There's also a country club nearby that my Mom has already had lunch in. So progress continues in this tumultuous process. This means Patti and I are one step closer to living together. :) Oh yeah - my parents will have to buy a new stove, but Patti and I get to keep the microwave. Probably for a garage sale.
