Wonderful Thing Happened Today

I am very lucky to have this little lake only 3 miles away...I keep my boat here on a slip. I spend a lot of time here in the nice weather. The second pic is our own "baby Niagara Falls" spillover across the dam in the spring.

I've lived on the water for almost eight years. I'm now ready to move inland . I've enjoyed living on the water but the insurance costs and the worry during hurricane season have made me ready to move . Plus I'd like to downsize . Here is a picture of the view from my deck .

Wow, that's sweet Moemg!

Hard place to leave. It looks almost like you would have to travel to Tahiti or something to get a spot like that.

Ha

Wanna swap houses? It only snows a little bit here.

What a gorgeous view you have.

Beautiful! It would be very hard for me to leave such a gorgeous place by the sea. But I would wonder if insurance costs will go up in the future, and I can understand the worry during hurricane season.

Thanks everybody , My view is great but it comes with a price that I'm not sure I want to pay anymore . Luckily I bought this house before the market went nuts so even with the real estate melt down I' m still ahead . I bought the house in 2001 from a christian singer who thought she was the next Reba . It came with a black room ( the recording studio ) , a leopard print bathroom that took days to strip the wall paper , the worst vinyl flooring& counters in the world , tie dyed curtains but an incredible view , two lots on Sarasota Bay and a great price .I'd like to eventually sell it and move inland . I'll miss the view but not the insurance premiums .

I cant believe you took down the leopard print wall paper.

I cant believe you took down the leopard print wall paper.

It was leopard print on the bottom and the top was foil wall paper that the owner had made from aluminum foil cut up and glued like a collage . That paper took me forever to strip .I usually can not look beyond tacky decoration but this time I did .

Welll - with 26 yrs in the old PacNW and 25 yrs over Lake Ponchartrain with the Sun setting at the end of our pier - I'll take Kansas City, Missouri side, on a hill, high above the wide Missouri, in the wonderful suburbs with slushy old snow on the ground.

I have a Passport, or SUV, and am underspending the travel budget so far(New Orleans, south of Chattanooga) this year - should the itch strike.

Spring is near - had some bird poop on the windshield before the snow hit and a few tubby Robins in the yard the last few days.



heh heh heh -

I seem to appreciate the views I travel to see - rather than the ones at hand/thus taken for granted.

Well, you can always build a cabin on your own private pond. Wildlife plentiful there in FL.
