A Make Me Happy Moment & Discontinued List

Hi there!  Well, we're no longer homeless and it's such a wonderful thing!  It's been busier than I remember a move-in ever being as this is the first time we've moved in right at the beginning of the school year, so it's taking us a bit longer than usual to unpack and put things in their nooks and crannies!

One of my favorite things about our new home is the fabulous back yard view (ask me how I feel about that when we have to rake it in a few weeks).  We created a 'make me happy' moment last weekend when we put up these two homes ready for move-in as we notice everyone getting ready for the winter.  LOL!

I'm happy to report that a young pair of squirrels found their critter mix and officially emptied it yesterday... and we've attracted several varieties of birds, to include my favorite, a pair of gorgeous cardinals to our yard!  It took both of them several days to locate this prime real estate and an another for the birds to realize that our dog is really no threat.  Not sure if the squirrels will feel the same way when our fence is put in a couple weeks from now and Ginger is free to chase :)

Just wanted to be sure I passed this little tid-bit along.  While I'm still not creating again, yet... my goal is to be somewhat operational around the first week of October!  Stay tuned... for now, here's a note from our corporate office.
