Moving~ The shifting of our things to a new location.

Its official. We have the keys to our new home and we have been moving a few things over. It is a process. The kids are excited, but seem to bode well taking in all in a piece at a time. I'm glad we are moving a few things in this week before Saturday, so they can get used to the idea. I've had some friends come and help me pack up. Patty, Robin, Tammy, Irene, Mary Jane, and Laurie.:)  I really appreciated the help, I've been still recovering from oral surgery and a couple months of vertigo symptoms. I am gaining strength though and feel better each day. I've been able to pack and move and organize a lot myself!

So far I'm very pleased with the deep tub in the master bath and am loving the kitchen. I have the kids take their shoes off when they come in and we love how the carpet feels. I still need to get over there and seal the tile and help my closets and laundry room to all have a spot for our things. My goal is not to accumulate a junk drawer in the kitchen! I really want to take good care of our new place. Here are some panarama pictures of the sprinklers. I mean it makes a panarama view if you view in order;)

I talked to a landscaper and I'm excited about the possibilities for the backyard. A king palm and a blue spruce is in the plans. I can't wait to hang up curtains in the house that accentuate the 9 foot ceilings. It'll be a lot of fun. I saw several teenagers out in the neighborhood. I think Emmy will do just fine over there. She went to a Church dance in the area and met girls and had a blast with them. I hope she knows we can keep the friends we have and just add to the happiness we have in building friendships with others.  Cassy, Patty, Betty and I went out to Italian at Taste of Tuscany. I had eggplant parmsean. It was delicious, I had been craving that lately. I brought home a lot of leftover bread sticks to Spence he loved it.  Book group last week was talking about food since we read the book, "My Life In France". Our topic of conversation turned to how good food is beneficial for our bodies. Those of us who cook bring something to the table;) for those we cook for. Food and friends and fun sure build great memories. I will be glad to start making those memories cooking delicious healthy family meals at our new home.
