December - A Look Ahead

This month is going to be zippy! And happy! Santa arrived early for us with the sale of our country cottage last month. Today, we purchase the lot and sign the contract with the builder for our new villa-style cottage! Construction will start immediately. If all goes well with the weather, our new “Grey Havens” will be finished by the end of May!

We are making appointments and meeting with various suppliers this month to pick out appliances, cabinets, lighting, etc. There are a lot of decisions to make, but we’re ready! We have wanted to get on with this phase of our lives for the past three years. So bring it on!

We are now comfortably settled into our rental home and recuperating from all the hard work of packing, moving, and unpacking essentials needed for the next six months. My knee is improving, but it has residual aches and pains associated with nerve damage and swelling. I greatly appreciate everyone's concern about my healing! I am getting around well, but I don’t break any speed records, LOL! I just take it slow and easy, making sure of my footing at all times. We’ll be getting back to the fitness center this month, and routine workouts will help me improve further.

Also on the health front, sweet hubby is going to have a routine colon test, and I will have a bone scan (for osteoporosis). We have a couple of other doctor checkups scheduled this month too. We are pretty healthy and intend to remain so!

We had a lovely short trip to middle Kentucky last month. No other journeys are planned for the near term. We intend to hit the traveling trail next spring. In the meantime, I will be immersing myself in self-taught photo editing lessons, in-between the oversight of our cottage building activities. And I will doing more blogging too!
