We're Almost Home

It's been a long summer.   But we found this house two weeks ago, made an offer and it was accepted.

We are SO ready to have our own space again.   We have had wonderful friends and family that gave us space to live while in transition but there is nothing like your own home.   

Our new house is bigger than any house we have owned for over 20 years.   We did not plan on that happening but the price was right and the house will suit our needs very well.

This tree is in our front yard.   It has a couple of limbs perfect for swings.  

We have four bedrooms - a first for us and we are thrilled.    Getting our furniture to Illinois from Tennessee is more of a problem than we had expected. 

A week from tomorrow we will be closing on this house and start the job of making it our home.
