My wife and I relocated to North Carolina in December and we're currently renting an AirBnb apartment in Charlotte, awaiting the completion of our "retirement" home in Waxhaw. We really like the Charlotte area, and so far I have not missed any of the cold weather and snow that has hit Connecticut and New England the last few weeks. The picture was taken on January 11, and as you can see, we have a long ways to go before the house will be ready. <i> </i><br /></div><div><p> </p></div>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com1Waxhaw, NC 28173, USA34.9245935 -80.74340196.6143596638211548 -115.8996519 63.234827336178846 -45.587151899999995tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233868466116271701.post-37696226609339804252021-12-11T07:00:00.003-05:002021-12-11T07:00:00.242-05:00Lobster Trap Christmas Tree<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The construction industry has been hit hard with supply shortages, labor shortages thus delaying the construction. Who builds a new house in the middle of a pandemic?? For now, our temporary home is in Clinton, CT and within a few weeks, we'll be travelling to North Carolina. We'll find some temporary housing there while we await the completion of our new "retirement" house. </div><p></p>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com1Westbrook, CT, USA41.2959741 -72.464156312.985740263821157 -107.6204063 69.606207936178848 -37.3079063tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233868466116271701.post-13154288592171283792021-11-12T07:00:00.002-05:002021-11-12T07:00:00.231-05:00Farewell, Niantic<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Earlier this year we purchased a lot in Waxhaw, NC and having sold our house in Connecticut, we will begin the process of relocating there. Readers of this blog will recall that Waxhaw is the home of our grandchildren, so I'm sure you'll understand why we are moving. As a result, posts to this blog will be somewhat sporadic during the coming weeks, as we spend the time finishing packing and placing our belongings in storage. We will be renting nearby for the next three months as we await the completion of our new home. I'm looking forward to new places to see and photograph during the move, and will share here, when I have the time and a good internet connection. I'll continue to keep reading all my favorite blogs here. These are pretty exciting times, but pretty stressful as well. Thank you for reading and commenting. I hope to get back to more regular posting in the not too distant future. <p></p>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com1Niantic, East Lyme, CT, USA41.3253756 -72.193133813.015141763821156 -107.3493838 69.635609436178839 -37.0368838tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233868466116271701.post-328839308877198062021-09-19T15:09:00.000-04:002021-09-19T15:09:23.602-04:00Pink Bench<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o-VLMbI7SLk/YUeKWdunJAI/AAAAAAAAO7I/RSCXwHCADPkJIDRqX_r5AxSrWeWB8cEFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Pink%2BBench.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="1200" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o-VLMbI7SLk/YUeKWdunJAI/AAAAAAAAO7I/RSCXwHCADPkJIDRqX_r5AxSrWeWB8cEFgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Pink%2BBench.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Niantic, CT 2021</i></div><br /> <p></p>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com1Niantic, East Lyme, CT, USA41.3253756 -72.193133813.015141763821156 -107.3493838 69.635609436178839 -37.0368838tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233868466116271701.post-7552258195137764242021-09-15T18:43:00.002-04:002021-09-15T18:46:03.879-04:00Antique Shoppe<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPGFbtqb8GU/YUJ3PiYxG0I/AAAAAAAAO6g/hWZ3XF6KB-UX9nP9W9ET998-WFhJyk3ogCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/_DSC9210.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="1200" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPGFbtqb8GU/YUJ3PiYxG0I/AAAAAAAAO6g/hWZ3XF6KB-UX9nP9W9ET998-WFhJyk3ogCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/_DSC9210.jpeg" width="640" /></a>'</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Niantic, CT 2021</i></div><br /> <p></p>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com1Niantic, East Lyme, CT, USA41.3253756 -72.193133813.015141763821156 -107.3493838 69.635609436178839 -37.0368838tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233868466116271701.post-49763518139491211732021-09-14T18:40:00.001-04:002021-09-15T18:42:09.434-04:00Main Street Plaza<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LkN9SMlmeMU/YUJ2ZChaabI/AAAAAAAAO6Y/8uGPAeZdCmAiS0s4Sx3A-o4MGRKg8tyDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Main%2BStreet%2BPlaza.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="797" data-original-width="1200" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LkN9SMlmeMU/YUJ2ZChaabI/AAAAAAAAO6Y/8uGPAeZdCmAiS0s4Sx3A-o4MGRKg8tyDwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Main%2BStreet%2BPlaza.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Niantic, CT 2021</i></div><br /> <p></p>Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16353693465208433306noreply@blogger.com0Niantic, East Lyme, CT, USA41.3253756 -72.193133813.015141763821156 -107.3493838 69.635609436178839 -37.0368838
