New digs

It's official. We have a new place to stay and play the next time we travel to Florida. Here's a peak inside the living room of Grandpa David and Grandma Elouise's new winter home.

We got to tour it while we were visiting last week. But it was just yesterday that they closed on the sale. After a decade of renting, they now own. The excited e-mail arrived with the subject line in all caps, "IT'S FINAL! IT'S ALL OURS NOW".

I suspect this will make their relaxing winters a tad more labor intensive. Consider the above shot the "before" picture. My Mom already is making plans to gut and replace the garden, and my Dad is talking about painting.

This will also give them reason to watch hurricane paths a little more closely. I'm very happy for them. This is something they've wanted for a very long time.
