SOMEWHERE TO LAY MY HEAD
on the prairie.
BEDROOMS to rest in and go ahhhhhh.
We have relocated to a bigger house across the county line from RETIREMENT COTTAGE. Long story short, Hubby was not ready for the kind of small we were into in RETIREMENT COTTAGE. It wasn't difficult to agree with him.
As we were out driving one day not so long ago, I commented, "AND you know I just LOVE that house......and it's for SALE!!!!"We went to look at it the same day and put an offer on her. WE BOUGHT HER. She is a dream house to us. A DREAM.
We are in the middle of moving in so there are boxes everywhere. We took the time and muscle to unload the storage unit boxes FULL of our fire recovery things into the new house.
I am not SUPER WOMAN,
but I have a super Husband.
She has three nice Bedrooms plus another room which is a Sunroom that could be a nonconforming Bedroom. We're making her a Studio. At one time the Sunroom might have been used as a Nursery, Playroom or Media room. Lots of possibilities.
Lately, I have been going through the boxes with Christmas
e x c i t e m e n t of what is in each box and taking the box to the room the belongings will be in. LoTS of carrying and LoTS of fun. This coming week I will go through the boxes all over again and start unwrapping the bubble wrap off of the items to having the things ready to be placed into the wood furniture when it arrives later in the SUMMER.
WORD out is two of our Bedrooms Suites, a Dining room table, Buffet, Grandma's Hutch are finished and will be traveling to our new location soon.
This move is certainly a BIG PROJECT for us.
The well thought out move
is necessary for making a smoother move.
NOTE to self....NEVER say I have no more moves in me.
LAWN NEWS:
Our beloved Heirloom Irises and others have been dug up
and transported to the new house. The flowerbeds will be prepped soon so the Irises will be in their NEW HOME by JULY.
HOSTAS have been dug up
waiting for their relocation in a shady area of the yard.
WINDOW TREATMENTS:
Figuring out window treatments. This will be a slower process as I have to decide what we will go with. RETIREMENT COTTAGE has almost all lace curtains. They will stay put with the cottage. I think curtains will come along over the SUMMER.THANK YOU for stopping by. You are much LOVED.
All the best and God BLESS,

Goodness! Your new home is beautiful!! How exciting!!!
So beautiful!
No dust. :-)
HI D! Oh, I'm so excited for you and your new home is just so beautiful! Can't wait to see her all decked out! I know you're going to be busy for a little while getting her all set up. I want to thank you for being my blogging friend for all of these years. About the taking down of monuments - it truly breaks my heart. Our history is what it is and taking them down doesn't change anything. I'm very southern, being born in Alabama and then living in Texas. I'm a transplanted southern gal in New York now! My hubby and I have many ancestors who fought for independence and I may not agree with everything that happened during the war, I still support the south. I'm just a southern gal! :) Hope that lets you know a little about how I feel!
Thanks again for popping in to see me and take care of yourself as you unpack,
Shelia ;)
Your home is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy for you and your hubby. I'm looking forward to seeing how you decorate and do your garden. :)
Thanks Ladies for commenting! I so enjoy reading your comments.
Hugs
