HOUSE HUNTING

It'll be 2 weeks Thursday since we arrived in Florida

Lots of alleys.

and we're still house hunting.

It's taking a little longer than I'd imagined...

but I know that 'Mr and Mrs Right' is out there waiting for us to find it. 

Actually, we put an offer in on a house today.

This is the 4th offer we've made (on 4 different houses).

Somehow...this one is giving us both a good feeling.

We've learned a ton about the extremely healthy market in this area...

namely that everything nice, in our price range, 

is getting scarfed up immediately.

Rick & Angie's garage apt that we're renting (upstairs) (downstairs is the studio).

But that's ok...

because now we know what we know from hunting 

and we can make decisions faster and with more confidence. 

I've only been to the beach one time since arriving...

but that will change once we have a house under contract.

Jerry got sick the day we left Colombia 

Our temporary home.

and we're both still recovering from the Creeping Colombian Crud

and trying not to spread it to everyone we meet.

I'm posting random pictures that I've taken in St Pete along the way,

mostly from the truck window...

and look forward to showing you the marbled fabric I painted this past Sunday (!!!),

during a workshop with these girls -

Can you believe I went out with my hair looking like this?

in my next post.

Create Your Life,

annie!
