A Lot Going On

 Changes are happening around here!

First let me say that Hurricane Debbie was a threat, but no longer.  We spent two nights with Sonsearae and Chris out of harms way.  The storm did bring rain and wind but we were on the north west side of where it made landfall. All those south of here had torrential rains, high winds and flooding.  Same in the  east and northeast.  The center of Florida was inundated because the storm was slow moving.  Not sure how many lost power. The campground did but not for long.

We’re moving! After 20 years we’re getting out of our fifth wheel and into an apartment.  We have been looking at retirement communities but they are very expensive and our budget just won’t allow it.  We found a two bedroom apartment at Lakeside in Southwood just a stones throw from Sonsearae and Chris.  At present we are commuting most days because our bed hasn’t arrived. Most of our belongings are there.  The rig and truck are for sale but for now we sleep in the trailer.  

I do have a few pictures I’ll share

This is our ‘back door’ patio.  To the left of the chair is the door into the living room. To the left of that is a shed

We found some lovely furniture at Pops Attic, this is my dresser

A chest of drawers for Jim

A wonderful, gorgeous, huge painting to hang over the sofa (waiting on delivery)

My chair with one of the floor lamps ( Costco has them)

There is a small room off the dining room that I think is for storage but I’m using it for my craft room.  Still needs organizing 

We bought this adjustable height table at Office Depot because I like to stand when I make my cards. We also bought another adjustable height desk for our computers. It’s in the second bedroom.

Bought this cube storage unit to help store my stuff

On August 2nd Jim and I celebrated our 50th anniversary.  Sometimes it doesn't seem like we've been together that long.  It sure has been an exciting adventure!  We met in Jacksonville Florida and the Navy moved us to Alabama, North Carolina, Scotland where he retired from military life.  We chose to move to New Orleans where we bought a house and Jim had another career. When hurricane Katrina came through we repaired the house and sold it after buying an RV to start the next phase of our lives together.  We traveled North South East and West.  Finally settling in Spring Branch Texas.  But a decision was made to move to Tallahassee to be closer to family. 

All is right in our world
