Our Great Adventure Begins

As of Tuesday, April 21, we became renters of the home in which we have lived for over 14 years. In less than two months, we will be on our way to Florida for a 180 degree environmental change.

March 22, Arne and I flew to Orlando and then spent a week at The Villages picking out what we wanted in our new home. It was a rather stressful week as so many things had changed since we picked things out last July. We were able to keep the lot we had picked out and are building the same model, minus a few things such as solar tubes, sound system, gas appliances and bird cage. We’ve been told there are few bugs in The Villages but EVERY home has a SCREENED-IN lanai (patio)...to keep out the geckos and patio stays cleaner. Yeah, right!!

For those who aren't sure where The Villages are located, here's a map. Look for the red star. Below the map are pictures of progress on our new home.
