Tennessee or Bust!


Oh my Gosh!  Daughter and Son-in-law have sold their house, are living in a condo beach rental now until Sept 5, and then moving to Tennessee.  Things are rocketing forward.  A 5 year plan has come to fruition in 3 yrs and moving right along. 

I am going to worry, and wish we were up there too, but they have much to do before we can join them..building their own house..building a Mother-in-law suite, etc.

So, I'm taking care of the grand-lab along with my own menagerie and looking forward to visits as the projects progress.

Onward and upward!!!

It's been two (2)!!! months since I've been here!  My daughter's Florida home is sold.  They will be in Tennessee in a month.  It all seems to be happening  too fast! It was years in the making.  Lots more work to come, but things are moving right along.  Daughter is ambivilent..she cries about leaving the home she bought all on her own.  But she's so very excited about her new adventure.  We all love the beauty of Tennessee and can't believe we'll be living there full time.  I have "friended" several more Tennessee professionals (photogs, crafters, artists, etc.) on facebook and we have met up with many of our future friends/neighbors.
