Wake up when you want to - lounge around as long as you want to - take a nap. Oh yeah - liking this! I need some decompression time! I did get some laundry started, but then Bob wanted to go to town and check some things out, so the sweet girl living here (Yari) at Chuck's and Connie's finished it for me - put it out on the line to dry and took it down before it rained again.
The day has been lovely - all the doors and windows are wide open - most of the time is spent on the covered patios - and now I'm making a fresh pot of coffee. Say what?
The realtor came by late yesterday afternoon and took us to see the outside only of a couple of places. He had to make a trip to Panama City today, but has contacted the owners. One place becomes available at the end of this month, so we would need to settle into another place for a month or so before we could move into the second place. He said the one we would wait on is the best one - best price, and from what we could see, it looked like a gorgeous yard, so if the house is anything like that, we'd be thrilled. He told us the owner wants to put new cabinets in the kitchen and do some clean-up once this renter is out, so we're thinking that may delay the move a little more than 1 month. I'm just anxious to get things out of the car and be able to have access to more than our traveling clothes.
I woke up quite early this morning, so walked around the property a bit and took some pictures. Its somewhat like being in the mountains because of the pine trees and cool weather - but with tropical flowers thrown in. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath house sits in the center of the property with all sorts of trees, flowers and open spaces around it. There's a mango tree here that is maybe 40-50' tall! Here are some pics for today.
Right in the yard!
Looking at house - bedrooms left and right - living across the center area. We sit on these patios and visit - and there are several hammocks to hang out in as well.

Today, Chuck and a friend took their kids to go work at the home of a poorer person here in town that he knows who needs some help. They are putting in a door, running some electrical and hooking up a washing machine. My Adventure Correspondent nephew is a really good daddy.
