Starting The Process

Well as some of you know I'm in the process of moving.

It's a slow process but it's the only one that works right now.

I was planning on moving out of the old home and to the new one this week but had a floor delay and the mess from the landscapers and things at work have pushed me back a week.

I'm really looking forward to moving and making this home my home.

I'm even excited about cleaning and decorating. The house I'm in now hasn't really been decorated, I think I just wasn't in to this house and that is what kept me from doing a lot...that won't be the case for this one and those that know me well know I don't like cleaning but I don;t seem to mind it right now with this home.

I had some floors replaced....not all but some and thinking since I wasn't having it all torn up and not taking any tile out, just replace some carpet with floors and carpet with new carpet that there wouldn't be a huge mess.

WRONG!!!!

They made such a mess...dust everywhere...thank goodness it just stayed in the dining room, living room and kitchen.

So yesterday I finally had a chance to get to the house since they had been done to start the cleaning process I had already done previously.

And when I was done with the kitchen I sat this out.

The roosters I have had for a long time but the floral arrangement I bought about a year ago along with a bigger arrangement that now sits in the foyer of my old home.

When I bought this arrangement I had no glue where I was going to put it... I just knew I liked it and wanted it.

When I got it home it didn't fit anywhere where it looked right so it just kinda sat in a corner hidden out of the way.

Well...now it sits perfectly in the kitchen of the new house on the island counter where the stove top is. I love it! I plan on doing the kitchen in a country french look, combining my roosters with wine decor and vibrant colors....can't wait to complete the look.

So, that's what has been up with little ole me....trying to find enough hours in a day.

A New Chapter

This past Wednesday I closed on a new home for me.

For some time I have been contemplating about moving, down sizing a little and just wasn't really in love with my home.

It served it's purpose during the time that I needed it to.

I moved quickly when I bought it.

This time around I had been looking for some time.

I didn't tell anyone as I just wanted to do this on my own with no comments good or bad to cloud my mind.

Then after our family vacation in Florida I knew when and if I found a home I wanted it to have a pool. Something I'm surprised at my age I wanted but that's what I wanted and I wasn't sure I really liked the home I was in enough to go through the expense of adding one.

So I found this home in the neighborhood I really wanted...I'm still surprised I found it but so happy I did.

 Above is the front of the home and below is a shot of the pool.

I'm really looking forward to decorating this area the most and making it the perfect oasis.

I have a few small things I want to do in the home before moving my furniture in and I have a lot on my plate right now that the goal is to be moved in by the middle of the October at the latest and then to have my other home put on the market.

Can't wait to have you over for a pool party!

SOLD

As you may know I was planning on doing a remodel of my home...I needed a change, I wasn't happy and the home was just depressing me.

For some time I had been thinking of moving but just wasn't sure...it was like I was trying to hold on to the home though I wasn't happy in it anymore. It wasn't the same anymore with Todd not there.

So after the bid on the remodel came back I knew it was time to pack up and move. It was my final confirmation.I wasn't going to put money in the home and still end up not happy...plus I wasn't planning on putting a lot into it anyway.So....I went out looking and this is what I found. I just fell in love with it. I wasn't planning on buying so quickly but I found the right home and it was time to act. It should be finished the end of September. I so can't wait to move.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter of what life has to bring.
I'll be a lot closer to things...kids...stores...roadways....friends...being out in the country just isn't that fun all alone...now maybe I can have a normal social life.

I can't wait for it to be done and move myself in....if your lucky I just may invite you over for drinks...

Next I'll show you pictures of the inside ...it's gorgeous!

I have grand-baby pictures to share...hopefully I'll post tomorrow.

Until next time....Take care
