Where thou art – that – is Home. ~Emily Dickinson
Forty six days after we moved out of our home in Virginia, having traveled through eight states & visiting with many friends, we finally have our keys to the London flat. As an Army wife, I chose this rambling lifestyle and truly believe we carry “home” in our hearts. Whether we’re going to be somewhere for 6 months or 6 years, we hit the ground running with each move.
I’ve known Army spouses who give themselves 48 hours from the time the moving truck drives away to get their house organized & decorated, including the drapes. Our household goods (furniture, etc) will be delivered on Monday. Can’t imagine I’ll have everything done in 48 hours but maybe a week! If the weather is nice, it’ll be a lot longer. I know better than to spend a nice day indoors!
The flat is pretty much a blank canvas:
Kitchen ~ lots of counterspace
This isn’t a lifestyle for the faint of heart but the rewards of living in so many different places and getting to meet so many different people, is truly a blessing. It may be only 11 months in London, but my home will be a soft place to land and always open to family and friends.
I like the way you think Patti that is so true. God bless your family and l love that I can follow your blog. cant wait to see it decorated. Have a nice labor day weekend. I dont know if they celebrate that there or not. Good night

Hi Tammy
Thanks for your kind words. My decorating skills are not great but I’m going for a “comfy lived-in” look so I should be OK. LOL I’m looking forward to seeing photos of your renovated house. Hard to believe it’s been a year since the big storm.
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
