Congrats Ricky!


My DH asked me the other day if this was our forever house. I laughed so hard. 2 acres in Florida is probably a young persons game. I can sense the time where it is more work than fun is not too far off in my future.


What will you do with all your free time? LOL

Hubs and I have tossed around the idea of moving to a condo since I came down with heart disease and he is my full tim caregiver. But…nah…no way we would be ok living so close to other people. Instead we dismantled all our flower beds and found new homes fot e plants and found homes for about 1/4 of my orchids. When the time fomes we will hire a guy to mow and we have a great handyman to do everything else that hubs and I used to do.


For us it beats giving up our house and acre yard.

Relax Deb. According to the National Hurricane Center it's looking like a cat 1 over Florida. Of course that can change fir better or eorse as we all know.

The whole NE area dodged the bullet is time!. Jax didn't even get tropical storm winds and we got even less. There was some flooding in low areas.


We don't get nervous around my neighborhood unless it's a 3 or above. With a 1 we just bring the plants in. With 2-3 we board the windows. With a 4 we would evacuate.


We picked this area because it is the highest point in the county and has no risk of flooding.

Bea, I'm so glad things turned out well for you. I was a bit worried when it started getting closer to the coast. Sadly, the Bahamas took the hit for us. I hope everyone supports their recovery efforts. We really do owe them.
