The Ever-Changing River

Our view is pretty spectacular. We watch the ships come and go on an hourly basis. Barges, car carriers, tug boats, ships and boats of all shapes and sizes pass through this area on their way to ports upriver. And we are constantly monitoring: counting ships, watching seagulls and crows, watching for movement. We are very close to town and Toe is now able to walk to the Riverwalk without much assistance. Seems like we are tuned into the tides and the river's flow more than we ever have been. And that's saying something considering J's line of work.

A Study in Wallpaper

The house we moved into in late January looks a little like a pattern department for Laura Ashley stores, circa 1990's (maybe before). Each room is different. Some are not bad. Some push my buttons.

In the living room, fhe flowers are not to my taste, but....
The dining room is my favorite room in the house.

Did I mention "Country Kitchen??" There are even wallpaper decals inside some of the cupboards.

The master bedroom is what gets me. The "window treatment" finally came down, but the wallpaper is so BUSY, it's like trying to sleep with bees flying around. I hardly ever turn on the light in this room.

We've worked to make the place like home, but we have not unpacked fully, as the house is sort of small and we're not sure how long we'll be here.

 But I have to say, the view isn't half bad... :)
