Hello, NEW HOUSE!

Here is our new house, in a more wooded and quiet area..... or so we thought! This photo was taken in the winter, when we first saw it. It had a lake view and lots of natural light. Things sure are different in the summer.... the trees fill with leaves and blot out most of the light and lake view, but the upside is that it blocks the heat, too..... it's been nice payinglow utility bills during the summer! We finally got it after a very competitive bidding war. Our first night was just like camping.... We could hear the night insects as loudly as if we were sleeping outdoors! That took some getting used to. At night, our old neighborhood was very still and quiet. We have big plans, though, and look forward to making this home the shiny gem we know it can become.
