On the Beach
Ended up just having a phone interview with a Condo Board member today. He is recommending they accept our application to rent one of the condos! So we can probably move in by next weekend!
YES! If we can’t yet have our other two dreams, (Rving and living in WA in spring and summer), we will certainly take this part of the dream, to have immediate access to walk the beach, with wide open arms! It will be hard living “between” people since most of our lives we have been in our own home, but we will adjust - but they like quiet there - that may be hard for me - Guess my rock ‘n roll will have to be on headphones… but that beach… just a hop, skip, and a jump away.
We spent the day shredding, sorting and packing a bit, and cleaning; tomorrow will be more of the same, but we are also going to run look for desks, bookcase(s), and a love seat or two recliners.
We did break for an hour to run see the new landscaping and demoed inside of the new house of our son and daughter-in-law. They are going to love love love their home!
I had a quiet moment when I realized we won’t be able to make those quick stops to see them after this week, we will be well over 50 miles apart - but at least we won’t be 3900 miles away like before.
So, tomorrow is going to be a long day! Neither of us like to shop for furniture, but we have two “backup” desks picked out in case we find nothing spectacular and dirt cheap tomorrow…. Hmmm, spectacular, small, and dirt cheap - and BOTH of us agreeing on it. Long day, I predict, but our excitement will shorten the day, I am sure.
We are moving to the beach… Oh, yeah! Hurricanes, play at sea, not at our new doorstep, please.
One response so far
Fifty miles isn’t that far! I’m about 35 from my parents; it’s nothing.
Congrats on the break with the condo!!
