We're Baaacck!

Whew!
Things can really get moving!
We've been exploring south Texas because Lubbock just seemed too dry, too boring, and too much like going backwards.

So, what do you think about BEACHES?!!!

We've set our sites on Corpus Christi, Texas - just a hop, skip from Padre Island.
Check out some of these pictures:
oh, shoot...I need to edit them first...I'll post 'em this weekend... :(



I'm noticing that I'm becoming more exacting in certain behaviors that pertain to my immediate environment, namely quality of the bed, and the ability to wash off the sand at the car.
Some of the minor dragons would love to spin some exotic psychodrama around that, but I prefer to think of it as an expression of the desires of that Zodiacal Crab, the Cancerian crustacean that I am - nest builder, Earth Mother, ______ dragonslayer--(can't be an apprentice anymore; what's the next level?)
I've learned that I take a portion of my (crab)shell with me whenever I travel. (Think of George Carlin's routhine about "His Shit") Every trip has its list of what 'stuff' is appropriate for the journey and it should ALL be in the shell before we leave! I'm actually becoming somewhat Crochetey about it.

Then add in my "thing" about drafts on my head, and airconditioning and pretty soon I start looking like an invalid out on a rare outing. I have an (empty) pillowcase over my head (esp. my ears) and am wrapped in a blanket -- !!

I like to think of it all as endearing eccentricities.

I think I am painting a picture of who I am with paint made up of my dreams. Cool, heh! :)

So I have nerves and emotions around this move and some fears
And a whole bunch of excitement for this change...most non-typical, but true, nonetheless.

We even saw a great house! The main living quarters are just over 1700 sq. ft., BUT it has a completely separate guest suite above a 3-car garage - almost 800 more sq. ft. House has a big room (converted from original attached 2-car garage) that will make a perfect studio/office.
Maybe it will still be available when our house goes under contract. Or that perfect one is looming on the horizon. Our Ruidoso house has been officially on-the-market since April 1st and has been shown an average of once a day since then. And the summer season is still over a month away. OMG! This could happen ANY DAY!!!!!!!

You can find our present house here at our local agent's site (Soon to be appearing at Realtor.com!) http://115randledr.ruidoso-homes.com.
Here's the prospect in Corpus... Capri. ---oops...it SOLD!

Off to prepare dinner now.
Laura and Erin, thanks for checking on me. Updates coming soon... :)
