This is the floorplan for the home I think we are going to get. I am very exited and just love the size of this one. The kitchen and living area are great. The "breakfast bar" serving counter is superb. The closet for the master bedroom is the size of our smaller bedrooms in our house now. The smaller bedrooms in this model are the size of our living room now. It is going to be such a change...such a good change! Just the thought of getting so much of my stuff out of storage for display or use makes me happy. I have several antiques and many, many nic-nacs to show off. There's  my grandmothers china, my formal dining room with 80" table and china closet. And then there is the thought of decorating something from scratch, no one else's influence to have determined colors or schemes or anything, I am sure I will be digging out my sewing machine and making curtains and drapes.

Mom says she wants her room to be blue. That is not one of the paint options available from the manufacturer but I can certainly paint it before we get all the furniture moved in. THis is going to be such an adventure. I just have to try to maintain my composure until November 1, when I officially retire. Or..October 4 when I take my last vacation before retirement.

Just imagining all the things involved in this process will surely keep my imagination going.I don't believe I will have to worry about getting tired when driving. I can count pieces of furniture when trying to go to sleep. So many ideas. Budget! Budget! Budget! I must not let my imagination outrun my checkbook.
