On Our Way!

Ahh! I returned home on Sunday from

my four day trip to our new home.

I missed my family horribly

but it was nice to have the alone

time to work on the house.

The house has sat empty for about two 

years so there were quite a few 

daddy long legs to 

eradicate.

Mr. Jim had cleaned up

most of the ladybug remains

prior to my arrival so

I just had to get the leftovers out

of the nooks and crannies.

The house is now clean and ready

for our family next month!

Between cleaning and visiting

new neighbors and new friends

and being taken on little jaunts to 

some beautiful countryside,

I had no time to snap

photos of our neighborhood!

The night I got there {it was barely light}, 

I drove down

our street before I made it to 

Miss. Joyce and Mr. Allen's home.

{That was a treat in itself! 

Their house was built in 

1900/1901!}

I rolled the window down 

and crept along so I could 

take it all in.

I'm still in awe that we 

will live among all that history.

To know that the first shot

of the Civil War was called 

from our town, WOW!

Mr. Branch's home is still standing 

and he is buried in the cemetery 

not far from our home.

Mr. Jim said we could learn so

much by just taking the time

to walk through the cemetery 

and reading headstones.

We will absolutely do that!

For now, I will be taking a break

from this little blog-o-mine.

I'll be back just before we head out and will

absolutely take you on our adventure!

See you soon!
