I have been trying to do this blogging thing. It has been a busy weekend and I am not used to having my camera right at my fingertips. This past weekend we moved most of our belongings out of the home we had in Elmira for the past 3 years. It was very hard for me. I did shed quite a few tears which only caused stress for my husband, not wanting me to be hurt. It is a really nice home.. I loved the old design and the space of it all. Two Fireplaces! The yard was nice. A great place to entertain! Which I tried to do often.
It was kind of hard to live between two homes though. Up keep of the one we own in Attica, having duplicate bills. When your in one you think a lot of the other no matter which you were in. I don't transition very well. The biggest thing that bothered me is that the home in Elmira became My Husbands and My Escape. A Shangrala if you will. My little brigadoon. No lawn mowing, shoveling, gardening. No upkeep for us. We had our nights planned and we enjoyed our time together. The area there is large enough that I had easy access to the mall and all the shops that I enjoy. Two Yarn stores that I really really liked!! No place is perfect but the attitude there was pretty easy. Just large enough not to have small town talk. I DON'T LIKE SMALL TOWN TALK. One more trip this week and my keys will be handed in. Probably a few more tears will fall.
The good news is that now we are both in the same house all the time, regardless of what issues may come up. Our systems will come back into play and we will continue to go forward with home renovations. God will see us through. Some people have a difficult time in having just one home to live in.. so I will not complain that I moved from one to live in just one. As long as we are together, we are blessed. Besides, I am so excited to have the pool this summer and hope to continue on entertaining!!! Come on over for a swim!!!
