We did it! We finally moved to New Jersey! I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to see our family (daughter, son in law and grandchildren) more than twice a year. Yessterday, our daughter just dropped by. Things that would seem like a normal occurrence bring a smile to my face. My husband and I have been able to babysit once a week to give our kids a date night. We're only 20 minutes away, if the road is busy. We get together for BBQs or dinners during the weekend, too.
The house needed lots of work. We installed AC, added outdooer and indoor lighting. Painted the entire interior becasue the walls had holes from tvs mounted on walls. (Why does anyone do that?) Just recently, we installed new window coverings and are waiting on the bedroom closet to be installed. I feel like we were on HGTV! Aside from a front porch that's sinking, to be fixed late August, I love this quirky, old home.
Soon, I will look for volunteer work. Hopefully, it will be at a local school. I retired after over 40 years of teaching. I also want to find and make new friends. I know it all takes time. I feel like I'm on a new adventure.
Oh, and I did get my library card.
