CHANGES AHEAD-----

Good Morning TLB friends!

I hope this post finds you all well. My hubby and I are practicing safe measures here in Florida to stay healthy. It certainly is a different world we are living in so please stay safe!

On to TLB.... You will notice some subtle changes that will aid in bringing my blog up to date with todays standards. With everything going on in our lives I decided to take a breath and hire a wonderful woman, that is much more "tech savy" than I am to assist in this change. I am so pleased she did an awesome job! 

Many thanks to my blogging friend Rita from Panopoly  https://wvpanoply.blogspot.com/for the referral of the "very patient and talented.... Linda from My Fairy Blog Mother https://www.myfairyblogmother.com/  Please stop by their fabulous blogs for a visit!

I have a new update on our personal front too! After much thought and consideration in regards to the Florida housing market, we decided to test the market and put our home up for sale. We actually had just worked out all of the normal issues from our new build, and homes started popping up on the market "For Sale" from our 2 year old cul-de-sac. They were selling in two days at prices that were quite tempting to us.  So......yep we discussed our options, and decided to "take the plunge!" We hired a realtor to sell our present home, and WOW it sold in two days! We close September 24th.

We've been so busy since making this decision. Frequent trips back and forth to our southen Florida home; lining up vendors, and watching our home "transform" into our final home has proven to be exhausting on some days. But with this new "challenge of transformation", both hubby and I were able to make selections, chose colors, select vendors, all together!  As many of you know, with all of our relocations with hubby's jobs, those responsibilites primarily had fallen on my shoulders and now I have a partner in "crime!". I must say we've only had a couple of decisions that we varied on, which made things quite easy.

We will now be living in the #2 Best Places to Retire to according to US News & World Report! At this stage of our life that sounds great! I'll be sharing our transformation pictures with you as work progresses. 

Have a wonderful day and stay safe!

So glad to see you again TLB friends!

Sorry for the absence. I've been working hard behind the scenes trying to get the new house settled. I am so fortunate to have the greatest sister and daughters who helped me with endless laundry and the unpacking of 600 boxes!

Please join me Friday, August 12th as TLB returns! Until then...here is a sneak peek of our
new open concept living room/kitchen/dining room/foyer. See you next week!

COUNTER DEPTH REFRIGERATOR OR STANDARD DEPTH

Welcome TLB friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and those of you that are in the East have recovered from the storm. We enjoyed a lovely weekend in Texas, with temps in the 70's....sure hope it stays this way for a bit!

For the past few weekends hubby and I have been taking advantage of sales on furniture, TV's and refrigerators. In the new house our family room furniture will be moved to the game room, hence the need for new family room furniture. And a refrigerator does not come in our kitchen package from the builder, so that was also a necessary purchase.
