Memorial Day

Just a quick note to say Thank You for your service to those who served and to remember those who served and never came back.   Too often we forget to do this.

We have 99 percent of everything moved over.  My 16 qt. pot,  some soft drinks and a few casserole dishes are still in the pantry,  but I'll get those Wednesday when I go back to the old place.   I'll clean the fridge,  but I think I'll get Merry Maids or someone to come put the polish on it.  I just don't have the want to,  anymore,  to even go back there. 

I get my new washer and dryer Tuesday!  WOOOHOOOO!!!   If it were left to me,  I would have had it delivered  a week ago....   It's going to get a workout on Tuesday!! 

Our little community had a meet and greet Sunday afternoon.  We have a lot of artists,  few business people,  people in the medical profession and several retirees.  Very nice new neighbors.  Afterwards ,  me,  the manager's wife (our next door neighbor) and another new friend hopped into the hot tub before calling it a night. 

I cooked our first dinner in the new place last Wednesday.  Friday evening we grilled brats and then had the leftovers Saturday when Maggie helped us move the patio furniture.    Today will be a ribeye and chicken wings! Yum..

All my beads and chains are still packed.  I'm hoping to get to them  soon.  The downstairs decorating will have to get done before the beads are unpacked.  I still have to get a beading table,  I don't want to go back to using the dining room table!! 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

We're packing!

My beads and chains and wire are all packed.   We are moving , hopefully  I can pick up the keys this weekend.   I have boxes stacked in front of my large window in the second bedroom,  on the bed,  behind JerBear's chair, on the kitchen table and in our bedroom.  I've run out of room.  I need to get the key.....hahaha!!!   I know how I'm going to do this since we have plenty of time to move.  I'll go in and decorate first.  That's more important than bringing  in the food..well maybe not MORE important!!!  Anyone who knows me,  know I can't stand bare walls.   I am definitely NOT a minimalist.  I can deal with a bit of bare space. 

The new kitchen has the space over the cabinets and I already know what's going up there.  The downstairs bathroom has very little wall space,  due to the Jack and Jill design and it being so small.  It will be a piece of cake!

The living room has a fireplace and cathedral ceiling.    I'll bet it's at least 15 feet high.  That's going to be my decorating dilemma.   I could paint.  But,  I'm really scared of heights,  so,  I think I'll not.    It's the wall behind where the flat screen will go.   I may just have to buy something.  Big.  I'll figure it out,  it may take me looking at it for a couple of weeks,  but it will come to me!

There are two patios.  One off the living room and one off the downstairs bedroom.    They are just a few feet apart.  I'm thinking of putting down stones to take the patio off the bedroom out a several feet to accommodate a table and chairs and umbrella.  I love eating outside and the sun will be blocked by the time we have dinner. 

I'll post some before and after photos after the move.   And as soon as we get settled in,  I'll unpack my beads and get hopefully gets something done!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
