Geraldine Sells Her Home
Geraldine has sold her home! Hooray! It's been a white-knuckle time.
She broke the rules of real estate by buying a new home before selling her current place. The Sydney market has dipped recently adding to the stress.
Geraldine began the moving process this week by emptying old red wine bottles down the sink. Eliza is mortified by the waste and can’t believe her Mum has given Merlot the flick.
Eliza is back in Beirut after a brief holiday in Australia for her Dad’s birthday. She’s caught up on books and TV as well as the incredible Supreme Court nomination hearings out of the America.
Finally, Eliza tells Geraldine about some criticism on the Facebook page, which she takes on the chin! Just type “Long Distance Callers” in the search function on your Facebook page to join the discussion.
