¾ of a ream of paper in the form of Association Documents.  There’s nothing that alarms me.  While I think I will like the built in Community of an Association, the excessive documentation is the down side.   I’m anxious to hear my Lawyer’s opinion, which he’s not going to give until tomorrow morning.  I did a pre-closing walk through with my Realtor.  With one minor exception (the weight machine), things are as they should be.

I have 2.3 gb of .pdf and .doc documents relative to the sale of my old house and purchase of my new one.  2.3 gb!  While I wonder how many reams of paper it would take to print all that, I will never know.  There are 14 documents referenced on the Title Certificate of the house I’m intending to buy.  The Title Insurance Company has taken specific exception to every last one of them.  That’s more than there were on my old house!  My lawyer has ordered copies to be delivered to him and me by noon tomorrow.  This could make for interesting reading.

Here’s A Thought

“I would rather have a little rose

from the garden of a friend,

Than flowers strewn around my casket

When my days on earth must end.

I would rather have a living smile

From one I know is true,

Than tears around my casket,

When this world I bid adieu.

Bring me all the flowers today,

Whether pink or white or red.

I would rather have one blossom now,

Than a truckload when I’m dead.”
