#3

that we have had several fun shopping trips this week.
Didn't really buy much, but it was just fun to be out
shopping together.

#4
that I got to go with Dee to show a house. Such a fun

 adventure about 40 mins. away from where they live.

The house was right across from Chimney Rock State
 Park and had these huge windows on the 2nd floor
 and a deck on the 3rd floor, and the view was
 totally Amazing!

You could see a creek running along the road,  and
 then of course, trees and trees and huge mountains,
 Totally breathtaking!!
She also took us to see a model home....she is 
trying to entice us into moving here......lol

#5

 for all the beauty the Lord creates and puts around us
 for our enjoyment.  Nobody creates like God does, 
 that is for sure...........

#6

that we saw a cute lil beaver running across

the road,  tried to get a shot of him but he was

too fast.  lol  Never saw one up close and

personal before and you know how I love

wildlife................lol

#7

that Dee has only had to work one day this week,

so it has been nice to get the max out of our visit,

and I think too, she has really needed the break

 with all that has been going on in the last
 few months.

#8

that the workers are all finally finished in their house,
even tho the floors were done and they were able to
get the furniture back in, which was a huge praise!!
 the workers still have been here most of the week
making new baseboards in some areas, then painting
 them, and putting the quarter round back on, then after
 the fellow painted some of them he realized the paint
color wasn't exactly right and had to redo them.
So they finally finished Thursday about noon.
So now they can put their stuff back where it goes
and leave it there............shew...finally!!  lol

#9
that there porch furniture arrived on time and we have
been able to enjoy the glorious weather the last few
days out on the back porch.  Dee and I were sitting out
there,  but sitting on a cooler and a lil folding seat.  lol
So it is much more comfy now......Tues. it was
 cool and breezy,Wed/ morning it was actually a lil
 cold.  Which is great as far as I am concerned!!
So nice to have a break from our Florida heat!!

#10

that they have such nice neighbors...............

#11

that as sad as we were about their move to N.C.,
we are equally as glad now about being able to
 have an adventure by visiting them, cause we get
 to live a whole different lifestyle for a week.

Altho, truthfully we would be more than happy
if they moved back.


#12

that even tho we are sad our visit is about over, 
and we will miss them, we can look forward to 
going back to our own home and seeing the rest
 of the family, especially our lil darling.......

The Lord is always good to give us some sweet
along with the bitter...............lol
