The Final Countdown


The final countdown is here, only three more days left until the closing of our new home. Jill, Addison, and I are so ready to be in our new house and out of temporary living. At the same time, we are taking advantage of the few days we have left of no lawn to be mowed, hedges to be trimmed, deck to be restained, house to be cleaned, projects to be completed and just trying to have a relaxing weekend. We are so grateful for everything we have now, have had in the past, and for the new house we are moving into. First step will be steam cleaning the carpets and cleaning the house before moving in. We are also set to repaint the T.V. room and upstairs guest bedroom before the movers bring all our stuff to the house on Thursday. We also bought a new table and chairs for the formal dining room, as well as a grill for the outside deck. I can't tell you how many conversations Jill and I have had about our excitement to finally have a grill (the fire code didn't allow it at our old condo).

To enjoy our last free Saturday, we went and looked at patio furniture, drove to get cider donuts at Zeb's (Jill comment - yum!) in South Hero and went for a beautiful walk along the waterfront in Burlington. We stopped along our walk at North Beach on Lake Champlain and we were lucky enough to introduce Addison to her first big lake experience. She was impressed as the two photos included show and we loved every minute of our day together.
