Turning the year

2010 is history already. Imagine that.
Melynda and David, Miriam hidden, and Jim; Christmas dinner
In 2011 we are thinking we may move on from this house and garden that we enjoy so much in favour of a simpler abode. It may not happen but we are looking more seriously than our usual recreational cruising. We invest a lot of time and money in this house and are thinking that we could be having as much fun doing something else; freedom of the road as it were. The biggest stumbling block to moving, aside from the fact that we have customized every single closet and cupboard to our personal taste and we love our view, is finding a place with outdoor space that is manageable without being claustrophobic. We're serious enough to be finishing some projects! And then there is the whole moving thing in itself...  I'll let you know how it works out but don't be surprised either way.

Here are some photos of our world on January 2nd and you can see why I am thinking spring.

And in the meantime we are planning a road trip to Sedona via the Napa valley, Las Vegas, and Scottsdale. Should be fun!

1) That was a really lovely Christmas dinner and we had a wonderful time.

2) If you move you MUST promise to stay within day-trip driving distance.

3) If you're just bored because you're running out of reno projects at your house, you are welcome to come and tackle some of ours.

4) We are buried in slushy, sloppy snow and all our plants are sulking, so I am just a bit envious at your January blossoms.

5) Love to you both!
