Hubby and I get to sign a new lease on the home where we’ve called home sweet home for the last year (since May 2010).
We’ve been fortunate to sell 3 homes (due to job related moves) since 2002. Last May marks the anniversary of the last home we sold in the Upstate NY area.
Renting was new for us as we’re used to being home owners. With the unstable housing market, it has proved to give us peace of mind and sweet freedom.
I feel blessed that we get to be the caretakers of this home in this peaceful neighborhood.
There are days I can’t imagine (ever) leaving.
It’s nice having a landlord who takes care of things. He’s arranged to have all the palm trees trimmed this coming weekend!
We’re looking forward to the trimming of all the trees…
The plan is this: Take time to smell the roses.
And enjoy the gardens while we’re here, we won’t be here forever.
Just for today, I will enjoy the path and I’ll let the road to the future unfold in due time.
Fond memories we’ve made with friends in the game room. We’re looking forward to making many more memories right here. Hubby racked the balls for us last evening but we ended up leaving them and moved to the kitchen where we prepared dinner and played backgammon.
One day at a time is all we have, the future will come soon enough.
I’m grateful for where we are today and that we have a brand spanking new lease. In His time, we shall move on.
Till next time…
