Hello All!! It has been several months since my last blog. We were very busy with packing! And, may I add, I hope I don't have to pack up and move again for a VERY long time!! Let's say, in 17 years when we retire and move home. That would work for me!!
But, the move is over. The boxes in the main part of the house are emptied. Things are arranged. No naked walls (except for our bedroom.) I have a few boxes left to work on in my sewing studio. All in all, I think we are settled.
We have been busy outside, just as much as inside. We made flower beds around the patio in the back yard, which turned out very well. I spend time out there every day and love it!! I'd attach pictures but I don't know how to reduce them so I can upload them on here! I'll have to figure that out. But, the flowers we bought and planted, are all growing and doing well. So I thing they will make it through the winter. They will be more beautiful next year! We are now working our way around the house. The flower beds along the house (not the patio area) had overgrown and neglected flowers and weeds. So, I have pulled them out and re-used what I can, and am fixing up those beds, too. I am on the garage side flower beds now, and putting in rose bushes there. Next, it will be the front beds. They have many overgrown and half-dead shrubs that need removed. But, I will be at the mercy of the guys from the church to do that. It will take trucks and chains, I am sure! But, it's coming along.
Cody has been down a couple of times... spending a week the first time, then several days the second. I hope he can come again before school starts. If not, maybe he can come over the long weekend at Labor Day. We'll see...
Well, better close for now.
