WE'VE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

Side path from backyard to front yard.

We bought a house! George has wanted to move off the beach since we've been bombarded with hurricanes - Ivan, Dennis, Rita and Katrina (not to mention the tropical storms which do damage too)…..AND the experts predict more and more for the next 10 years. It's been overwhelming to us to deal with the aftermath each and every time, not to mention the stress of evacuating and living here with the mess waiting for renovations. It's taken me 4 hurricanes and several tropical storms to finally accept the facts! But, finally I've been convinced and we've talked about listing The Martinique and Color Me Happy for sale sometime next Spring. My only problem was I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go if I couldn't be on the beach??!! Well, God has a hand in our plans always and provided an answer! A house that I have always loved came available. The neighborhood is darling. All the houses look like Florida cottages and are clapboard with tin roofs and are painted colorfully and have white picket fences out front and around back. I feel good about our decision. I can see myself living there. Lots of changes in my life though...kinda scary, but exciting!
