I'm having fun working on the gardens and enjoying having grass, since I don't have to cut it! ha. <br />For Christmas I have ordered the grandkids a croquet set, a volleyball/badminton set and horseshoes. I think we need to enjoy the huge yard and the paved area where the cars are parked as well.........Can't wait.Life is good.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-44351293070755630762018-11-30T18:06:21.391-06:002018-11-30T18:06:21.391-06:00It is tough to imagine anything better than where ...It is tough to imagine anything better than where you previously lived but what a beautiful abode and garden area.

Mi casa es su casa whenever you come to San Miguel.<br /><br />As all of you have said, the absence of stairs and the constant apprehension as I carefully went up and down is over. It has made a bigger difference then I could have imagined.<br /><br />Also, the expanse of green grass is so soothing. Green is such a soothing color. Peter, yes Josefina is here two days a week but in the beginning it was every day until we had unloaded every box. I could not have done it without her. She will always be in my life.<br />Yes, Barbara Lane, WE do know. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I love your house as well.......and so happy that you are there.<br />Ah, Lena, that is a Beidermeier loveseat that I have had soooooo long. It is one of my favorite pieces in my house. It has been recovered many times but this suede animal print is my favorite!<br />Al, probably not that many in THIS lifetime. I leave knowing 200 people to others..Yes, I know 200 but I'm not about to have a party for that many. The last time I had 55 for dinner was my 65th birthday. I was beyond exhausted when that was over. Another lesson learned, ha.<br />Thanks everyone. Hope to see all of you in 2019.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-22038731083609758022018-11-21T08:09:13.773-06:002018-11-21T08:09:13.773-06:00I can see why you are so happy with this new home ...I can see why you are so happy with this new home and garden!

I absolutely love, the chair, with upholstery that looks kind of leopard print, with lovely, curved, honey colored wood. And the lawn - not a common sight in SMA, I see with grandkids running around. enjoy! enjoy! enjoy! ¡felicidades!
