--Good day--It is a sunny day--cold--but---- WE ARE ALIVE--AND A PART OF THIS DAY---
We are going shopping-- I was not going to go shopping--groceries--- but--- there are days that it is just good to get out of the house-- This is that day---- Yesterday I found out that the house we had hoped to buy, might not be available-- It might be--- but--it might not be-- We will not know for sure until Fall--so---I must remember that everything happens for a reason--and maybe will have to change our plans ----which maybe is a good thing ---- one never knows--I do know that we will not be here in this house in the Fall-----
Lord love a Duck---- so-----again we are looking---- and I do believe that things work out--- if you just believe ---- and perhaps look at options--- just in case--
I can write more later--- the grocery store is calling-- IT IS STILL COLD!!!---
and life on the lake will resume--
I admire your positive thinking. As my mother would say, there are plenty of other fish in the pond. Another house will strike your fancy and all will be well. Hope the shopping trip is a success and you are able to come home and relax.
ReplyDelete"There are 'plenty of fish in the sea"--- Mom's words--LOL-=- Dad's top, when it came to our boyfriends-Lynda
DeleteIt does take time, and sometimes the timing is the blessing in oh, so many things! Hugs & hopes!
ReplyDeleteYes, yu are so right Barb-Everything takes time--Hugs right back atchu--Lynda
DeleteKeeping looking . . . another house will come along . . . in the mean time keep sorting and reducing the stuff at your current house so when one comes along you will be ready to go. Thanks for commenting on my comments yesterday. I feel stronger today but some days are more difficult than others as you well know. You are my inspiration.
ReplyDeleteyes, some days I find more difficult--- I don't cry anymore tho--I used to--- I know I can do it--- I will keep looking for a house-- I know things get better as you become stronger--knowing yu CAN do it!-- Lynda--PS Get lots of sleep too-- --Read a book too-- It keeps me going-Lynda
DeleteThey say everything happens for a reason and maybe there is a better house that will be available for you. Today on my way to the doctor I saw over a dozen robins. They are here so spring will be here soon. Take care. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--=robins--I hope it warms up here soon -Lynda
DeleteOh well - hopefully some other homes come on the market. Any maybe you'll have one last summer in the house. Great pictures. Hope shopping went well. It was real nice here this afternoon.About 9 or 10!
ReplyDeleteWell Brenda-- The prices have risen AGAIN-at the grocery-=-seems it will; never stop-Lynda--
DeleteEven tho you don’t have the exact place you’re moving to, you have a goal and a time frame that you want…keep decluttering, donating, pitching, gifting etc. It will be much easier to pack after you have eliminated what you no longer need! The perfect house for you and Fred may be just around the corner! No more snowblowing or shoveling
ReplyDeleteseem like a dream come true, doesn’t it??! ❤️Eissa7
Eissa--=so discouraging when the one we want might not be available-- but--we could go got a retirement place--a Srs house--in the next village--What do you think? Lynda
DeleteI know the feeling of having to just get out for a bit. I hope you can find a place that will be more manageable for you both. I can't imagine how much you have to do in a day! You mentioned a Senior's home and maybe that would be best, although my own mom was all set up to live in a place where she had neighbors and friends and was able to bring her cat. But at the last minute she backed out! I really just wanted her to be someplace where she could be safe and people would be available if something happened! Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt would be unusual to buy the first house you see anyway. Seeing different ones makes you rethink what you really want, like two bathrooms, for instance. The bodies get older, can you get in and out with a cane? Wheelchair? Bathtub or not? Room for overnight visit or not? And on it goes.
ReplyDeleteLynda....maybe that house isn't the one. As others have said, work on purging so that when its time to go it will be easier to pack
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you've made the firm decision that this is the last winter in the big house.
I understand wanting to get out even if its merely grocery shopping. Hope it went well.
Play your piano.
Hugs
Oh Margene--I was so disappointed--Lynda
DeleteLynda, it could be that the house isn't the right one for you. It's disappointing, but something amazing will be there.
