My blog got blocked. It seems that something I did in that first posting made some electronic flag go up. Dang! Maybe this isn't meant to be. Ah well...we'll try again.
I did some shopping today for the beach house. I got some fabric to make some drapes. $1 a yard...wooohoooo. I should explain about the beach house. We don't actually own it yet, but should in a few weeks. Its a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 story house with a small yard overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Ok...maybe 'overlooking" is a bit of a stretch because that makes it sound like I can step out the door to the beach. The house is actually 3 blocks from the beach, but up a small hill so the view is amazing (and affordable). Maybe a more important note is the bakery just down the hill on the corner...wooohoooo! Now THAT is important. There is a casino about a mile away, so I'm hoping to get more relatives up here to the Pacific Northwest to visit. There's hiking...fishing ( I assume, afterall there IS an ocean out there)..beachcombing...gambling...shopping at the outlet mall....what more could a happy family want? We will have a complete open door policy for all family members. We are keeping our main house, at least for now - but its only a little over an hour away. I'm hoping this will be great fun, a new chapter in our lives.
The house is old...built about 1938...but its has been very well maintained. Its blue and white, just like a beach house should be. It has a large deck in the front, and a small garage in the basement. I'm hoping the ping pong table will fit in the garage.
For right now, I'm looking forward to weekends there, but come summer I doubt I'll be here much. Thank goodness for cell phones, I'll always be reachable by family.
Enough for now...let me see if this will post.
