Gratitude

I always knew I wouldn't change the address of this blog.  That I would move back to the ocean.  And, am I glad I did! I do like the new name, though.  More reflective of where I am.

This entire area resonates with me.  Nature with its abundant marshes, the ocean, picturesque shores with granite nearly everywhere - including my front lawn.  Sometimes a place just instantly feels like home.

So far.

A shutter table is on order in white.  It will go where the round table is. Atop it will be the teal glass lamp.  There is a painting I did a few years ago.  I am considering having it matted in a 23 x 28 frame. It will go behind the sectional to the left, not centered.  I'm not too traditional so I like to keep things interesting.

Now having my daughter and granddaughter visit me regularly is beyond heavenly.  The lil one knows where things are kept.  She has her favorite dishes and mug.  She knows where the basket of toys is.  She even picked out one of the twin beds she will sleep when she leaves her crib for a toddler sized one.  They transition into those now before going into a regular twin bed.   

In no time flat, the joy of family has come to me once again.  

I am grateful beyond words.
