Yahoo!
They have asked for a copy of the neighborhood covenant and some other papers and have "casually mentioned" a closing date of January 1.
HOWEVER. No offers have been made and nothing is definite. It's just encouraging, after almost a year, to finally have some positive news in this regard.
What's not to love?
To the people who have already responded to the y'all/ya'll/you-all debate:
Norma--Congratulations for finally being an official Smithellaneous poster. You win the washer and dryer combo selected especially for you!
I do have to say, though, that your entry concerning this discussion made me just a teensy bit sad because, while it is very proper and dictionary-esque and correct to say, "you-all," it's just not very much fun!
I mean, "You-all?" Really? Please write to the publishers of that dictionary immediately and tell them that Becky said they are so very, incredibly wrong. (smile)
And to Stephanie who says it's "yall" and Angie who says it's "y'all," I'll just have to let the two of you work out your differences on your own! Maybe you can take each other out for coffee and get it figured out and report back. Sound good?
Anyone else want to weigh in?
My opinion is that I refuse to say "you-all" because its really hard to slur "you-all" in good Southern speakin' style. And if you can't slur a word and leave out a letter or two, a word is just not worth saying! (I mean, "sayin.'")
