New Digs or Why I haven’t been blogging
M and I bought a house. We moved to a neighboring city (about 7 miles from our old rental) to a lovely neighborhood. This has kept us rather busy for the past couple of months, but we are finally beginning to settle in. We had a month to pack, and we donated and got rid of what seemed like mountains of things, but when it came time to move, man, we had a lot of stuff. 13 years of marriage and 12 years in one residence can do that. But here are some before and after pics from the new house.
Can you find Harriet, my mannequin head in all the mess?
M has a lawn to mow for the first time that doesn’t belong to his parents or their neighbors. He seems to really like the mower, and today he got an edger.
But some things never change:
Boulevardier cocktail. A negroni made with bourbon instead of gin. Delicious, and it looks so pretty on the hearth.
Congrats on the new house! It looks like a really nice space.
Congrats on the new house! It looks like a lovely, relaxing place to live. 🙂
Thanks, Chris! I think it will be a relaxing home once I re-teach myself how to do that.

CONGRATULATIONS! It looks like a wonderful place! How exciting for you and M. (There’s nothing quite like mowing your OWN lawn. . . unless it’s repairing your OWN toilet. . .)
Congratulations! I never look forward to a move, but it must be wonderful to have a place that’s all your own!
Congratulations on your new house and surviving the move – having recently completed something similar, you have my sympathy, but it looks like the new house was worth it!
I see the lavender bushes in the background behind Michael mowing the lawn! I am excited for you both to finally have your own home and your own lawn to mow!
Brenda- That’s very exciting. It looks like a lovely place. I wish you many years of happiness together.
Oh, Wow, congrats! And yes, I found Harriet right off over there behind things on the hearth! 🙂 Have a great time settling in…
(((hugs)))
congratulations!! I hope my new house looks as neat as yours so quickly (and I’ll definitely try the cocktail – I love negronis in the summer, but bourbon sounds wonderful for fall!)
Wow, what a gorgeous house! Congratulations!
