Scout, thanks, it has a bigger kitchen than current home so bigger batches of cookies with grandkids helping is definitely on the agenda.
BC, it took every account we had to do this, except a very small Roth IRA. That will be enough to keep me looking at the markets, but won't be enough to make me worry constantly about my decisions. I'm probably not going away but I probably won't be glued to the computer anymore either. The new home has a Craft room! I'll still enjoy the evening chats that you, I and others have. <big smile>
Nasa, thanks for the wish of luck, M_ my friend! Maybe I won't need quite so much of it anymore, but I so appreciate the thought.
grandma, thank you for your words of condolence and for your encouragement. I appreciate your visit very much!
Tom, thanks for the congratulations. I love the stone too, it's the first thing that made me look at the place.
Jason, not sure the field unit can fit in the garage with the Volvo and the pickup but we'd make room for it behind the house with the garden and orchard!
Norm, thanks for the words of encouragement, buddy. It will be great to hold that mortgage myself instead of renting from the bank. <wink>
Thank you all. Taking care of your TSP account can really pay off.
