Yesterday I signed a sheet of paper, and one of my biggest adventures came to an end. A new buyer had fallen in love with my Palazzo, one whose cash trumped my contingency. So I had no choice but to officially void my contract.
Certainly, I knew all along it could happen. The problem is, for four months I have allowed myself to live in a bubble of false security.
Do I regret those four months? Not at all. It was quite a trip while it lasted, and I’m grateful for the experience. Perhaps most importantly, it reaffirmed the support I am blessed to receive from my friends, neighbors, and the Wilcox staff.
I am further blessed to still have my Abbey, the home that I was always reluctant to leave. With it off the market now, I can fully relax, reclaiming it as a private home rather than a property to market.
It’s time to start a new chapter.
Home Sweet Abbey 
Thanx goodness! My wonderful neighbor is staying put.! I couldn’t ask for a better one! Ollie

Thanks, Joe. Maybe it’s good I’m staying. The new owner might not have put out the Christmas decorations that you and Sylvia enjoy this year.

I certainly have mixed feelings about this. I hoped it would work out for you because I know how you fell in love with the place, but I also didn’t want to lose a great next door neighbor.
