Best of luck in finding a new cabin.No for some reason after 20 years and over the last few on the homestead we grew to the point that we never even talked so I am looking for a new "cabin in the woods".
I could never have a doormat. It would blow away here in Kansas. LOLI don't have a picture but this mat would be good!!��

Do you live in a manor?Don't know how well you can see it, but double doors, wood bottoms, glass tops.
It is a Senior Living Community with individual apartments. Today, many are in need of assistance and we have staff to handle that, but those of us who are independent do our own thing. Several married retirees also live here. Our dog is community owned, but since I was asked to train her, she thinks she belongs to me. Since I will be moving soon, I am training her to socialize with everyone and act as a therapy dog. She's a smart lass, so she will be fine. Question is, will I?Do you live in a manor?
It looks well cared for. It’s great that you have a community dog. They enjoy having a purpose just like humans do and it’s a proven fact that dogs can be great therapy for us in all ages of life.It is a Senior Living Community with individual apartments.

Very nice hard-scaping, Ruth! I like that you matched the rocker and door trim color - very effective!My front door with the rocker I just finished this spring. View attachment 40267I had some extra bricks so
I made planters out of them. I lined them with screen wire and then added soil. I can only plant Marigolds because the deer eat everything else.
That’s lovely. There’s nothing quite like the smell and the sound of the ocean. Even if you aren’t in the water itself, it’s still very pleasurable and relaxing. My parents are in a wonderful home which they like that’s right beside one of the Great Lakes. It’s not quite the same but still lovely. It’s great that you are near your son. Being near loved ones is priceless.Thanks, Keesha. I am moving to the same type of community, but just a couple of miles from my son's home and that ocean you see behind me in my photo. Can't wait.
Not much of a door view, but I grew up with a well just like that and the chimney is awesome!Well this is how we bought it....

I am very interested in learning a bit more about what life is really like for the people who live in thes communities. I have visited a very nice one in Washington State in the area wher my son lives and where my daughter plans to retire in a few years. Based on my visit, I concluded that living there where one monthly payment covers all meals in a nice dining room, cleaning and linen service. I also don't want my wife living alone in this big house with all the upkeep if I have to leave the planet.Thanks, Keesha.

Thanks Em.... The Chimney is basically the only reason we didn,t just burn it down.Not much of a door view, but I grew up with a well just like that and the chimney is awesome!
