We're In!!

I know it's been awhile, sorry. We're in our new house! We closed on Friday and Jim's brother and his wife and son came for the weekend to help us unpack. We couldn't have done it without them - Thanks guys! The house is great - plenty of room, a garage under for Jims' shop and a big, shady backyard. We've unpacked enough to function, but have a long way to go. It's nice to be in a house and not stuck in a little hotel room or the truck during this heat wave. It was only in the 90's today - but still muggy so not very comfortable. We've managed to learn the area pretty well and have found stores and shops we like. We also found that we're only about 2 miles from the closest boat ramp. So once Jim buys another boat he won't have far to travel. There are lots of public recreation areas around the lakes and throughout the park system. Most of which we haven't checked out yet. We have found a couple of parks with swimming areas and boat ramps, also some with greenways you can walk or bike. Lots of golf courses around - unfortunately we haven't had time to play any of them. Once it cools down we'll be able to check them out. As you may know, Jim and I have spent the last month with only one car (in fact we were in the car for most of the month)! We spent today car shopping - one of life's necessary evils - and I think we will have a new Pathfinder soon. It'll be nice to be a 2 car family again. Keep in touch and let us know how you are - now that we're back on the internet full time it's easier for us. I'll post more house pictures soon
