Our New Home

Today, my readers, I am giving you some pictures of our new place, and I hope you enjoy the visit. Of course those of you nearby should just get yourselves over and see us (and the digs) for yourselves!
Right outside our condo is this beautiful light standard, a beacon for friends to follow and find us. And we are the end condo so we have lots of yard where our future grandchildren can play safely behind the brick wall and the lovely shrubs.


Our back deck looks up the most beautiful street of very lovely homes. I tell everyone we live in the 'row housing'--poor cousins of these single family palaces.


Here is another view of the same street:


Inside we have the largest clothes closet we've ever had, a walk-in with room for all my shoes on wonderful sloped shelves I found a couple of months ago and just kept boxed till we finally moved here. I am proud to say today there are no more boxes waiting patiently for unpacking so the carpeted floor is clear. What luxury!


And, yes, this is my new office, a lovely airy space facing west and beautifully lit with the setting sun. We almost need to put a couple of easy chairs in here just to watch the day end, it is so stunning.

On one wall I have my keyboard watched over by one of my framed photos of Hilton Head.

Here is the piece de resistance where all my work (and play) takes place. Here I write, I upload photos, I reconcile my bank accounts, I compose music on my software, and--oh, I hate to admit it!--I play computer games to while away empty moments. You can see I still have some photos to hang and a box to finish emptying but really most everything is in its rightful place in the whole condo. I do like order.

I hope soon to have a great announcement of a secret project on which I have been working since last April. This is where I do it. Stay tuned for its birth!

Elaine,

The neighborhood and your home is stunning. You must be so tickled with big closets and open floor plans with lots of windows.

Enjoy!
