Going, Going, Gone…

Early risers were treated to a light show on Downtown Indy streets this morning.
Street lights rapidly flashed on and off causing a strobe light effect.
Apparently it was quite a show and the locals were perplexed as to what was going on.
Officials blame it on a “malfunctioning relay” but I know the real scoop!

It was a Celebration.
Indianapolis was bidding us adieu.

We got a call late last night with an offer on the house.
The first and only one in 6 months.
As we say in my old business…
The first bid’s the best bid, hit it!

The buyers are pre-approved and have already sold their home,
So it looks pretty promising that this could be the real deal.
Never the less, I’ll be down on my knees today praying to Saint Joseph, the Patron Saint of real estate matters and home sales.

We buried a statue of St Joseph when we first listed the house back in February.
It has to be done in a specific way.
Bury the statue upside down, head downward, facing east, in the hole and cover it over.
Then you recite the “Prayer to Saint Joseph for Selling a House” every night.


We did “most” nights...

maybe that’s why it took so long.

Never underestimate the power of a Patron Saint!
