so many changes.
sam & i have moved. about an hour or so drive of where we were...
to north west Lake City...right next to the tiny town of Wellborn.
there's a pond out back...Indian Pond.
and still lots of lizards, snakes...birds...AND bugs!
(well, we're still in florida...the bug capital)
why the move?
sam's boss wants him to help run the shop...he wanted him to be closer to work.
so he asked if we'd consider moving into this BIG house that the company owns.
BIG, is an understatement.
we could probably fit the trailer in here...3 times over!
emo & otis are adjusting...as are we.
otis??!! oh yeah...a little orange striped tabby that showed up on our back porch
about a month or so before we moved!
he is now part of the family.
more about him next time!
i'm hoping to get back in the swing of things.
settle into some kind of a routine.
but now i have the drive (to see clients)
and sam just has a fifteen minute drive to work.
that's ok...he did the drive for close to 2 years.
i'll leave you with some pictures...
old-ish...and new-ish.
(gotta get ready to run down to gainesville for appt's...
but i needed to get on here and send out an update!)

i will not be a stranger...although i am in a starnge land.
and i am a bit strange myself.
things will fall into place...and i will start to wander blog-land again soon!

ReplyDeleteJust hopping over like a frog to check if anything is buzzing. Daanish has a few new posts, Love the insights I find under the stones there. Only bugs I see are spiders but none as exotic as in Florida. But my passion flower is blooming indoors so I do have an exotic flower! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Did you give any special meals to Otis and Emo for Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteLove, jean
