and six months later …….

Yes, I'm on vacation!  Seems like I was just here as the winter and spring went so fast with all that we had to do.  Last you heard from me I told you our house sold.  We departed there mid February and moved into our new residence April 1st.  Have had some challenges along the way, a disappointing mover, a house with some surprising defects, and some consumer issues taking way too much of our time.  

Our move was just 90 miles from our previous home.  We made the move for both financial reasons and to be nearer friends.  Where we lived before was costing us in taxes, homeowner fees, and truthfully, a mortgage.  We also were feeling a bit isolated.  The move solved those issues and we now live nearby to many people we have known for years and have the funds to leave the house occasionally.

The house is very different from our other home, as is the type of neighborhood, but much to our surprise we do not miss the dream home we built 15 years ago.  The new place is the right place to be right now in our lives.

But this is vacation time and chores and changes to our other house are on hold for a few months.  Time to enjoy our "happy place" in eastern Idaho.
