Hi! Everyone, it seems like for ever since I've posted... Gary and I have been busy packing up the house. We bought another home and will be renting out our sweet cottage. I do love this home, but with the housing market at a low we felt it a wonderful opportunity to purchase another cottage.
We will be closing escrow this week and will start the move on Thursday.
I have been reading your posts and have tried to leave as many comments as possible. So if I have not left you one, please know I am still here and I have been reading and trying to keep up with you all.
Packing takes for ever and I have so many things, honestly its a bit embarrassing!.
Gary and I have moved so many times in our life, and that's a bit embarrassing too. Really it is, all our family and friends who have know us our entire married life always say "so long are you going to live here!" we just laugh!
Gary and I have always loved to fix up homes, but we keep moving into them. Since we are all family here, I will tell you what number this new home will make it will be Cottage #12, yes its true we have owned 11 homes and this will be #12.....we are so crazy!!!. but in a good way crazy!.
I may not be able to post for a few weeks but when I can, I will show you the new (Cottage #12).
I will miss you all and will be thinking of you and wondering what you are up too...
Big hugs and Love,
Elizabeth~on the move again~
How exciting! I love moving and fixing up homes! Mr. Comforts of Home and I have had 7 homes....
ReplyDeleteHave fun and I am looking forward to seeing your new cottage.
Hugs,
Penny
Praying that all goes well for your move...can't wait to see pictures of your new home :)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the packing. I know when we sell the Inn, it will be a major undertaking to just get all my dishes packed up! We will be moving back to our little cape house by the end of June, so that will be good.
Looking forward to seeing cottage #12 :)

Oh what fun! I love a new (or new-old) house! It will be such fun to see how you transform your new home!
ReplyDeleteCheck in when you can. We'll all be anxious to see the "before" photos! *Ü*
How exciting Elizabeth! As a person who has moved many times, I have received those same comments. I do not like moving anymore and promised myself that I will be staying at my current home for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes smoothly with your move. I look forward to seeing your new cottage! Happy nesting!
Hugs,
Tracy
Best of luck on your move! I can't wait to see photos of your new home.

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move and your new cottage. I can't believe you have owned 11 homes and this will be your 12th! WOW - that's a lot of moving. We lived in two apartments and three homes in our almost 36 years together. Both hubby and I moved a lot as children so we know what that is like - new schools, new friends. We hope we don't have to move again for quite awhile. We've been in our current home 10 years now. Although moving does help you declutter. LOL
Good Luck with the move #12!
ReplyDeletecome see usw soon.
Melinda
Flabbergasting! And exciting, too! Happy packing and I'll catch you on the other side of your move. You two must really love to fix up cottages more than you love to sit around in one once it is finished. Lucky person who'll enjoy Cottage 11!
ReplyDeleteHow fun for you both...
ReplyDelete#12..~wow, and I thought we moved a lot!
Your a couple up on us!...
but there is a "for sale" sign in the yard...We could be catching up soon! Lol
Hope your having fun with this move and not stressing out too much.
Hope your both able to enjoy the process and really be inspired!
Take your time and will look forward to seeing your new digs!

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Good luck to you as you get settled in your new place. Have a terrific Tuesday ~Natalie
ReplyDeleteYour cottage is so lovely, it must be hard to leave something as dear... like leaving behind a child of your own I suppose... hopefully, whoever comes along will take good care of it...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, dear Elizabeth...

ReplyDeleteDon't be embarassed, if that is what you and hubby enjoy doing, then just enjoy it, don't apologize. My hubs and I have been married 20 years and have moved 7 times. That is a lot, too. After this many I am exhausted with the whole process, so I know it must be very tiring for you at times. Most of all Enjoy Life! and the move!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy S

ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to hear from you! Thank you for the sweet words about my new grandson and well wishes for me! I too just love Sean's cute little baby cheeks and when I saw him last night showered them with lots of kisses. I teased my DIL and told her I want to be a stay at home grandma!
I hope your move is going well. I will continue to pray that all goes well and you are able to get settled into your new cottage without any snags.
Hugs,
Tracy
