We are Moving!~

We are moving this week!  Just wanted to let you know so you won't worry if I am not around for a while.  We are leaving a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath 1700 square foot house with two sets of stairs and a basement that floods with a yard that is on a slope for a 14 x 70 Horton Modular Home.  It has three bedrooms and two full baths, a nice-sized pantry, and it is in a very nice park complete with pool, tennis courts, and volley ball net.  We consider that a HUGE plus.  The yard is flat and they cut your grass for you, we don't have to.  We really like that.  Because of the third bedroom, I will be able to have my office separate from the TV again.  That will also be a HUGE plus since I work from home most of the time.  On top of that, I can still keep my cat and dog, which is another HUGE plus.  I hate it fell right here at the holidays, but it will be much easier to take care of cuz I ain't no spring chicken no more!~  :-P

Will post pics as soon as it is all set up.  Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!~

Blessings!~

House Renovations

 

I'm soooooooooo happy.......the bathroom has been fixed and painted, and has a new light fixture.  The wallboard had rotted out around the shower and had begun even rotting the floor.  We now have a new ceramic tiled shower and floor.  It looks awesome! My dishwasher has been put in and my kitchen has a new fluorescent light fixture that really brightens the kitchen up at night, and one was also put in the laundry room.  The tile that was messed up in the kitchen near the sink has been fixed.  The siding has been put on the house and the deck has been rescreened.  Now my cats can go out and enjoy it without me worrying about them escaping and I can enjoy it without mosquitos eating me up alive.  The deck is my favorite part about this whole house.  I spend lots of time out there meditating, reading, or playing with my cats.  It is super nice out there this time of year.  Now, if we could just get some rain to fill the catfish pond back up behind the house.  It is probably down at least three feet.  I will post pics ASAP.  Hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!~

The bad news is it is my son's house and he is selling it.  It has been our home since he was 13, except for the 3.5 years we lived in Colorado.  They close on the sale on the 27th of November.  We have to move.  He will give us part of the money from the sale of the house which will help us financially, but learning you have to move right here at Christmas really sucks.

I won't miss the stairs.  I will miss the deck.  I spend a lot of time out there.  They just got it screened in again to where my cats can enjoy it again.  I love how it overlooks the catfish pond.

I will post pics of the renovations ASAP.  I pray we can find a nice reasonable place to rent.  We don't want to buy because we are not sure we are staying in Alabama permanently.  We wish to return to Colorado...............

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!~

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.  Just wanted to stop in and say:

I promise an update soon!  Please remember our troops in your thoughts and prayers today.  May we remember their sacrifice for our freedom as they fight to keep us free from terrorism.  God bless our troops and God Bless America!~

Blessings!~

Susan
