New Home

My new home came with its' own name, Eagle, and I like it - both the name and the place.  We picked it up last Tuesday and spent the next several days settling in.  It is spacious, comfortable and very cozy.  There are so many things I like about it that I can't yet decide on what's my favorite. 

The living area is very comfortable with 2 rocker/recliners, an electric fireplace, 32" TV, Jensen sound center and sleeper sofa with an air mattress.  The refrigerator is much larger than the old one and the gas stove has an ignitor, which means no more matches or lighter!  Central heat comes through floor vents and air conditioning through ceiling vents.  There are also 3 skylight vents with covers which allows them to be open all the time without rain or bugs coming in.

The queen size bed has a real mattress and is very comfortable.  There is storage under the whole thing that is accessible from the outside, too.  There's lots of closet and drawer space, unlike little Howhee which had practically none. 

The shower is regular size and the hot water tank is twice as big as the old one.  But I've gotten so used to Navy showers after all this time that I only luxuriate when at a motel or someone's house, like Barbara and Trey's, where I'm going later today for Thanksgiving. 

On Sunday we had an open house for family and a few friends.  I had such a good time that I forgot to take a single picture.  Darn!  But here is the guest list:  Lynn, my live-in lady love; cousin William and his wife, Joyce; Wayne and Mary Caldwell; Hugh Huntington, brother-by-choice; and Myra Grant, a high school classmate and new golfing buddy.  And of course Tinkerbell, Lynn's chihuahua. 

And finally, an update on my pony tail project.  As you can see, it is quite long.  The only time it isn't in a pony tail is after a shower, seen above.  My last real hair cut was in April, 2010, with only a few neck trims since then.  So wearing my hair long is part of my new normal, which I plan to write about soon.  The blog intro is now totally out of date, as is the picture of my rig.  There has been so much change in my life that past 3 years it is mind boggling sometimes.  I am very thankful for the changes, in spite of how sad I was for much of it.  I have a new home, truck, scooter, place and style of worship, lady love and hair style.  Oh yeah!  Life is goood!  Very good!  Thanks for stopping by!
