Flashy I am sorry to hear about your Grandmother. She sounds like she was an amazing lady and she was certainly much loved. :no: Very nice for you and for your kids that you got to spend so much time with her the past two years. They will be memories to cherish for certain, for all of you.

Our formal offer is being presented today! In fact I am heading over to meet Mr. FG to sign the papers right now.

I'm really not sure how it will be received. We are offering on the property plus some of the business assets. The number is a good chunk of change but still well below what they were originally asking for the property alone.

However, the agent has literally been up our a$$ looking for an offer for about 3 weeks now, and they knew what our number was going to be... so I'm hoping that means the seller is willing to consider it.

Mr. FG is going through some really horrible, awful stuff at work. It is rather complicated and totally political but it is wearing him out. I'm afraid he's going to end up having a heat attack, or a nervous breakdown, if he doesn't get out soon. Iit would be great if he could make an exit to pursue this business venture.

Thanks guys!! I didn't have a bit of trepidation while signing the contracts, even though this will be the largest financial risk we've ever taken. I am totally confident we can do this. In fact I've already had people inquiring about camp, as well as some off-season programs and specialty weeks for pony club and IHSA teams.

The timing couldn't be better given the situation at Mr. FG's job so I'm just crossing my fingers hard and sending a few prayers out into the universe. :jingles: :luck:
