I don’t know exactly where to begin. It has been a whirlwind of activity for the last month. First, I would like to thank each one of you for the thoughts and prayers, and contributions. The blogging community is truly a blessed assortment of friends.
As many know, the storm (actually the hurricane) struck around 2AM on October 29. Heavy damage that resulted in a forced move. The kids arrived the next morning, and with their help secured a small house in a nearby town for us to move to. Steven, the oldest, had moved out of it 5 months prior. It was still vacant since it was a small home. Two bedroom, one bath and a large yard. No one wants smaller homes anymore. It’s perfect for us. There is major downsizing being done. Hard to fit four bedroom three bath items into less than half the space.
Best of all? It isn’t run down and dusty feeling. Weather tight and cute. An actual stone wall houses the fireplace with a massive entertainment center. The entryway and kitchen, has marble flagstone as the flooring. Once we get the boxes unpacked from the entryway area, I will share some pictures. We have one cracked window in my office, that was struck by a rock thrown by a lawnmower, and a cracked security door. The people that own the property are having those fixed. The house has double pane windows throughout. Central heat and air. Carpet in only the bedroom, and vinyl and wood flooring. Along with the marble flagstone entry and kitchen area. Yes, it’s small, but so easy to keep up with. A small front porch complete with a birds nest. A back porch area that is concrete. A large concrete area with a fire pit in the center. A large shop out back for all our tools and lawn care items. I tripped over a folding chair and landed on my face on the concrete. Blood was everywhere. Cracked my nose but I have recovered.
We wanted to let you all know, that we are happy and thankful to all of you. Now I just need to find material for the blog. It shouldn’t be hard in this small little city with all the beauty around. It is cozy and quiet in this area. You can count on one hand, the number of sirens we have heard in the past month. I was a police officer here around 1999-2000.
That’s all for now. I will share more later. I hope all of you have a wonderful Monday!
