Looking Ahead

Gary has another painting finished, one of the Perham Church. Here you can see it:

Much of our time over the past few weeks has been concentrated on trying to find a better place to stay next winter. Calls to real estate agents and hours on the computer looking at places for rent produced nothing. Instead, one of Louise's knitting friends found us a condo where she lives. We met the owners this week and came to an agreement on renting it for next winter. It is a wonderful place that meets most of the things we wanted. The one thing missing is proximity to the beach. It will be a 10 minute walk to the beach, but everything else is perfect. We will not be at Cocoa Beach. After five years here, we are moving on. This condo is in Indiatlantic or Indian Harbor, depending on your sense of geography I guess.
Here are a few pictures to show you what we have found:

We will be on the second floor in an end  unit.

The master bedroom. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

There is a 50 some inch TV in the living room, plus a TV in each bedroom.

This is the chair Louise plans to use for knitting.

There is a gym in the club house.

A pool with several sitting areas outside.

A hot tub is located in the pool area.

A shaded area at the pool for reading or knitting.

There is a fully equipped, modern kitchen.

The view from the balcony. It did not take us long to decide that this was just what we wanted. With the major problem of housing for next year solved, we plan to relax for the next two weeks before we start the long drive home.
