Music to Our Ears

Today, being our anniversary, we have received many lovely phone calls, texts, and Facebook messages.
One of those calls was from our older son, his wife, and our grandkids. They shocked us with some news.
They were in Manhattan on the way to their co-op to meet the movers. The movers are there to pack up most of their belongings. Our son and daughter-in-law are renting their co-op to a family they know, who need a larger place in NYC to live.
Our son and his family just sold their vacation house in New Jersey and bought a new home. They intend to live in New Jersey in their new home for at least one year or until the virus is long gone.
Their vacation home sold before it hit the market and they make a killing. There were 17 people interested in the new house, but they won the bid. They are very close to where they lived and in a beautiful area.
It seems that our family has been playing musical houses, but they are only concerned with staying safe and healthy.
It is the perfect anniversary gift for us!

@snowy22315 Yes, they love their yard. The new house is much larger with a large fenced in yard and close to the nature trails. They also are close to the ice rinks and some friends and coaches.

@DianneN Does that means NYC still continues to be a Covid 19 hotspot?

Oh even we could have a second wave although we do not have very harsh winters. The extreme winter days for us last a month and mainly in late December and January.

@DianneN Glad the day is going well. Did her hints give it away or no?

@Tina30219 No, she just mentioned that they were looking at a larger house not far from them for the year. This was the one!
