I'm really confused this year. Today I wrapped a Christmas present. It's 80 degrees outside and I'm planning on where to put the Christmas tree in my new place. Where has this year gone to? Back in April I was all ready to move to a new address and had to shift plans a little. Upon further study and inspection the moblie home I was buying had too much for me to take on in repairs. Decorating what I WANT to do, yes, bathrooms because they need to be re-done? No. So plan B went into action and I'm happy to say that after a little more searching, I've now joined the club of mobile home owners.
Never in a million years would I have pictured myself in a double-wide. Here I am, in 1500 sq. ft. of wood and aluminum. Horrible cellphone reception, but a wonderful sunny yard and all the space I could ever want. Upside, it's mine. Downside, NONE!
I haven't really gotten used to the kitchen and the grill still isn't gassed up. It will happen soon. What is amazing is that in the small front and side gardens there are 54 rose bushes. Most are beautiful and fragrant. The gardener starts tomorrow!
Best of all, Roberto likes it and it's just a few yards further from his trolley stop to take him into Carpinteria. It's still within walking range to downtown and all of that. Now, I'm getting organized and settled in. Roberto was here 2 weeks in August and Suzi was right behind him for 10 days. I wasn't up to entertaining yet, so there haven't been any Summer parties. It's a pitty since the weather has been incredible. That will happen soon too, I'm not planning on going anywhere!
Another milestone was reached on September 1st. It's now been two years since my cancerous cyst was removed and I started treatments for Ovarian Cancer. Truthfully, I didn't think I would be here today to share any of this with you, so it's a very good day. Photos to follow.
