Thanksgiving is one week from today. A day and season of thankfulness. In years past, it was a day for our family and extended family to gather. Although, Thanksgiving get-togethers have slowly become a memory of years gone by as our family began to spend the holiday with their other extended family. This year, COVIDContinue reading “One Week Plus Eleven Days”

Fewer Words
Can speak more clearly than a long dissertation.
Citysteading
For a long time, hubby and I dreamed of buying a house on some land in the country. I had dreams of the chickens, ducks, goats and guinea fowl that we would raise on our homestaed. We talked and planned and planned and talked about the animals we would raise, the fruits and vegetables weContinue reading “Citysteading”
Pending
There are a few things pending right now. One is this blog. For a long time, this blog was my journal, communication with friends and family, and a way to share what would one day become the history of my family. I blogged on almost a daily basis for a very long time, then FacebookContinue reading “Pending”
Everyone Wants Our Business
We put our house on the market and shortly thereafter started receiving offers of assistance. Moving companies really want to help us move and I had no idea there were so many different ones in the area. However, on a daily basis we have been receiving anywhere from 2 – 6 postcards, letters, flyers, etc.Continue reading “Everyone Wants Our Business”

TheContinue reading “Inspections”

I absolutely love looking at houses. I love seeing the layout of the different homes. I love seeing how others have decorated. I love looking at flooring choices, tile choices, paint choices. I love envisioning how our family would fit into the space. For me, those are the fun parts of searching for a home.Continue reading “Fun or Stressful?”
Moving Along
After lots of packing, cleaning and organizing, we are almost ready for a fresh coat of paint and some new flooring. By the end of the week, our realtor will put a “Coming Soon” sign in our yard and hopefully a week later our home will officially be on the market. We have started lookingContinue reading “Moving Along”
“Almost” 5 Years
We moved to Texas almost 5 years ago. WOW!!! Honestly, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. On the flip side, I’m beginning to forget what it felt like living anywhere else. I suppose that is due to the fact that we’ve experienced a lot of life in the past “almost” 5 years.Continue reading ““Almost” 5 Years”
