Tina:  Yes, that will be good. Well, will leave our luggage with the bellman while we eat.

Bette:  Okay, I’m packed. You ready to get that breakfast.

Tina: Right with you.  Since we never unpacked, it wasn’t hard to do.

They gathered their keys and went off to breakfast. They both ate a lot of the fresh fruit, and a small amount of eggs, bacon and hash browns. They had two cups of coffee and two glasses of water. They then went and checked out, and then to the lady’s room and headed for their waiting vehicle. Bette got input the address in GPS device. The vehicle was a smaller SUV than they had the last time they were in New Haven. Bette decided that they did not need a lot of room just basic transportation.  They were off to the lawyer’s office.

The closing went smoothly. This was fourth closing for the two of them in four months. It was beginning to become almost routine. They immediately pulled out their identification so it would be ready when requested. The closing took about 45 minutes and they left with four sets of keys and one garage door opener.  Bette received a message from Jim to take a key and the garage door opener to the contractor before they left New Haven.  He would begin taking measurements and mapping out their schedule the next week. But the work crew would not arrive until the following Monday which was after Thanksgiving.  Bette asked the attorney if there was a space, they could use to get the utilities changed into the new owner’s name and have the bills auto drafted from either hers or Angie’s bank accounts. The attorney put Bette and Tina in a small conference room with a computer. He had his assistant sign her on the internet and they began the process. With the advent of computers, signing up to utilities became relatively easy. In the end Bette decided to have the utilities withdrawn from her account. She could change it later if she felt the need.

Once that was done, they picked up their envelope of papers and envelope of keys and headed out. They contacted the contractor and met him at his office. They gave him a key and the garage door opener and got a receipt. The contractor said he may have to make several duplicates but would inform Jim of how many and who had them. When the project was finished, all the keys would be returned to Jim prior to final settlement. Bette like this fellow. He seemed to be happy to have a project for the winter and promised to do a good job. Bette and Tina thank the man for his willingness to take this project on and then went to lunch. Bette found an interesting restaurant and found a parking place.
