[My] Life in Wisconsin

That Phone Call Came

Good Morning All;

I am not sure what the real reason for her call was. (Am thinking I am a bit paranoid at this point?). And maybe righteously so?
Hmm...

Jenne called yesterday afternoon.
She wanted to know if I was still thinking of selling this place.
I asked her why she wanted to know.

She told me that she had 'known' this place her whole life and that it would be "right" for her to be here...
I don't think Mom and Dad would necessarily agree with that right about now; (nor do I at this point in time).

I said yes that I am still tempted to sell it..

She wanted to know what I would like to get for it.
I told her.

It was quite out of her price range, (bitch that I am, I am thankful for that).

But the trust factor within me- (and that same paranoia)- rears its ugly head...

Was she really calling to ask for herself?
Why?
Was z behind it?
Why?

Does it effing matter anyway???

Back when I had sold off those 10 acres, the man who bought the land wanted 1st dibs on the house too. I told him yes, but only AFTER my daughters had 1st right of refusal.
The good thing about that is there is NOTHING in writing pertaining to that...

Oh I am a terrible bitch...


Still a bit confused is all.

Love to all.

XOXO
Me

  1. I would be a bit suspicious, too. I mean, come on.....all of a sudden out of the blue she calls asking all kinds of questions?????? Something's just not right in Denmark as they say...lol!!! If it were me, I'd be getting a few things in writing and have it notarized as well. That way there is no question about how things are suppose to be.

  3. Sweet Pam...

    I have it in writing, just not that part of the deal...
    Greg would still want this place anyway.

    As far as Berta or Casey being able to afford it, they probably could, just not all the expenses that go along with it all...

    Suspicious you say?
    A very good word for it.
    Maybe even better than paranoid.

    Love to you

    And to thank you for commenting too.

    Sweet Thers;

    "Just because you're paranoid does not mean that someone is not out to get you."

    (Methinks I used to have a bookcover that said that)!

  9. Sweet Sophie...
    Maybe.
    But after we were ready to hang up, what she said was this. "Oh I just wish I had a house."
    ~Not THIS place.
    ~Not a 'home'.

    She just wanted a house.

  10. Mornin Bart!

    You know what they say... "Anything is for sale for the right price."

    hmmmmm maybe feeling a bit nostalgic for the old homestead, or maybe just trying to learn what your up to. Have their sources stopped telling what's up? It is a wonderment isnt it? I have learned that someone who says they no longer wish to be part of your world seem to have a curiosity about what is going on.... its very weird how that will always seem to work that way.

    Your like JT the mind always working working working. Im not sure its paranoia or just a natural curiosity for you.

    Hope your having a great Sunday!

    mucho hugs

  11. I have a sickening way of going down that road of 'what if's'...in situations like these.

    Was she wanting you to say "Oh my lovely sweet girl, for you it would be 75 percent off."
    Was she prodding to see if you had promised it to Casey or Berta?
    Would they want you to sell so they could then juice you for cash?

    Or, maybe she does have some inner feeling for the place and would like to come by it honestly.....but I would venture to say there was more to it :)

    Good Luck with this one.....I'll keep praying.

  12. It does seem a bit suspicious. If none of your daughters can afford it at market value, then you have every right to sell it to the person who can. Seems simple. But if any of them are looking at the property as an "inheritance" of sorts, then that might be why they remain interested. You have every right to sell at whatever price you set. So, take care of yourself!

  13. errr.... I would be suspicious too especially as someone is looking for a place to live.

    I say sell it to the highest bidder when YOU are ready and not one second sooner or cheaper.

  14. Hmmm. Do you have a Will - and who inherits the home if you're still living in it when you croak? Sometimes people don't ask the question they'd really like to be asking, sometimes they're leading up to the question side-ways... just thinking out loud.

  15. Place gets sold upon my death

    Roberta and Casey share equally

  16. Be sure to give them something.. because they can come in and contest the will and they will win. The only way to get around it is to have it put in their names prior to your death.

    ITs a very sad fact .. but it is fact.

  17. Oh I do know that Sweet Beep...

    They get the medical records AND the POLICE RECORDS.
    (Proof I do not lie).
    Nuff said.

  18. Well I don't know about inheritance laws in the states but here the only way to contest a will is if you were dependant on the deceased for income or a place to reside. I cant imagine your laws on that would be THAT different as much of your law is based on British law, might be a really good idea to get real advice about that.

  19. Sweet Sophie!
    I do know how weird the laws are regarding this all.
    As early as when Mom and Dad got married, he had to put her name in everything...

    AND he had to 'mention' each of his sisters by name and birthdate; (willing' them each $1.00) to keep them from contesting his will.

    Even Moms simple will was about 17 pages long. All legalese.
    (Bunch of hooha if you ask me).
    "Share and share alike" means just that.

    Frickin' lawyers anyway...

  20. And for anyone thinking that poor z and j will never get a thing, please know that Grandfather Consouer (sp) on their sires side, blueprinted the entire Illionois tollway system.

  21. no one should ever EXPECT, DEMAND, or believe that they are OWED inheritance.

    Inheritance is what is left over after family is done with it and a sad price to gain over the loss of a loved one.

    My instructions to my dad are to live life its fullest and spend every penny now. If he leaves enough to see to his final wishes that is nice if not, he knows I will take care of it.

    He has promised the same should I go before him.

    My siblings think this is horrible of me to encourage......
