Wish I could buy your house, with all it's wonderful colors, but I'm here in my very own little place to stay (I hope!). My move 10 years ago was not through choice, but because of a divorce I didn't instigate and never expected. However I survived the trauma and I'm happy with my life and where I am today! I know you'll find a great place to live, closer to town and the services you need. You'll make it your own!Annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-60347251570632769132014-01-12T17:45:00.618-05:002014-01-12T17:45:00.618-05:00Beautiful Quilt, Sorry that Chum had to undergo s...Beautiful Quilt, Sorry that Chum had to undergo surgery but I am sure that he is being pampered.

That house has never had such wonderful, creative caretakers as it had with you two. It was a work in progress from day one, and has constantly evolved in your time there. I hope the new owners will be infused with all the energy that you expended there and will find their own creative spirit infused as well. I look forward to hearing about the next chapter and wish you and Dave much time and love in your new digs. In other news, I was faced with my dog Maya's declining health this past week and had to make the decision to let her go; so I am over here in the mountains of NC grieving and will always look forward to pics of Tony and Chumley for a pick me up.<br />Fabric Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300514939653975835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-53443994065672511362014-01-11T12:20:56.103-05:002014-01-11T12:20:56.103-05:00That is a really nice quilt.

It's a lovely home and should sell quickly. My DH and I are getting to the point we have been talking about a one-floor home. He's 73 and I'm 67. Not old by any means but it's a lot of house and yard for us to maintain...and it ain't gettin' any easier :) I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
