Some things didn't make the cut and ended up at Goodwill, or given to someone who wanted it, or sold, or tossed. Lots of stuff was tossed, but it was mostly junk to begin with. Some of it dating back to the late 1900's. Ha... that sounds strange, "late 1900's," but we accumulated a lot during our 29 years in Texas. And there are some treasured items dating back even further. Not all fits our new lifestyle in New House, so ......
There were a few surprises, some disappointments (mostly breakage), and lots of frustration, but it was clearly coming together to become everything we had hoped for in our new life.
The garage, of course, has been where most of this 'stuff' was stored until we could get to it. But first, we had to install garage cabinets to hold some of it. And we're still not through with that project. But we're working on it and hope to get it done soon.
Meanwhile, on December 8th, it snowed...
Yes, and it snowed all day long, sometimes with big fluffy flakes just like in the Hallmark Christmas shows. It was just barely cold enough that the snow managed to accumulate to as much as 4" in areas.
Yes, it was beautiful. And what a nice Welcome to Terra Mariae, where all the cottages looked absolutely beautiful, ours included.
And evidence of the snow was everywhere for four wonderful days.

If you like photos, here are a few.
Stay tuned. There will be more updates coming.
