New Home

We have moved!

We decided last Christmas that we really did need a new home - one that had a room big enough for all of us to gather in comfortably! And of course one that had a master bedroom on the first floor - along with an office for me! We started the look through the internet with the help of our realtor, Rick. We saw 5 or 6 homes and decided on this one. Made the offer expecting to have a counter-offer and instead our offer was accepted. We closed in early March, got possession a week later and began the work we needed to do before moving in - like removing all evidence of dogs/cats due to extreme allergies! So all new carpeting, new window coverings (well, they are still arriving!), new paint, wood floors refinished, furnace/ductwork cleaned...and the list goes on! We did actually move into the house in early May - but sadly, we have still not totally moved out of the old house yet! Need to finish that along with a few rooms to be painted and re-carpeted before we can list that one to sell!

The new house has come with some getting used to! We have 2 little fish ponds in front of the house with about 15 fish - or did have! Beautiful white egret decided they looked good enough to eat! The ducks decided to enjoy the pool before it was opened - what a mess to clean that cover! Then after the pool was opened - they decided it looked good enough to swim in! Yuk - what a mess that was to clean up! They seem to be gone now! Had a nice bird nest with 3 or 4 baby robins - til another bird decided they looked good! Found the squatter sitting in the nest! Then the chipmunk found its way into the house! Now that was something I don't want to repeat!! They are quite plentiful here - so will have to do something to get rid of them!

So thankful for our new place!

Tried to post a picture - but it is not letting me right now!
