We bought a house is Pensacola over spring break and closed the end of May. W and his dad went in after close and put in new floors and painted. W's parents have been staying at our house on and off since then maintaining the yard and making sure the house is occupied.
We (the kids and I) finally moved in last week, after finishing dance (G auditioned and was chosen for the company at a dance studio here), karate (E is a black belt now), and finishing out the baseball season. W will join us permanently at the end of Aug after he trains his replacement in Memphis.
Our new home is a 4 bedroom ranch, with a Florida room, on a one acre lot. Our lot backs to 500 acres of paper company land with a discharge stream running through it. We found out after close that the paper company is going to build an underground pipeline through there that will carry water waste out to the bay. Mostly though it is just unused forested land!
The man who lived here was an avid gardener. We have scuppernongs, blueberries, and figs plus before he moved he planted pole beans, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and squash. In addition there are magnolia trees, crape myrtle, tons of begonias, and a hibiscus and lots of stuff I can't identify. The only thing missing is a pool.
