Life at the Little Blue Cottage is a Bowl of Cherries







Well... in a few short weeks things have changed a bit here. We've now purchased the little blue cottage, planted a vegetable garden & flowers and are making it more like a home than a storage unit with rooms.

Buying the cottage & living in the city (where we have to pay utilities) I am now discovering that there are not a lot of jobs out there. I recently interviewed with an employment agency and am encouraged to know that they have lots of job opportunities! I'm hoping & praying that the right job is out there waiting for me!

We'll be going to Colorado sometime in the near future to retrieve items from the cabin & the storage unit we have there and bring them back to the cottage. Some of the stuff we bring back may go on the Memorial Day garage sale. We participated in the MOTHER OF ALL GARAGE SALES that was held at the local Event Center. We sold quite a bit of stuff... unfortunately we bought more stuff from other vendors than we sold... but after bringing home the "leftovers" the garage is still pretty full. Hopefully the Memorial Day sale will empty out a LOT of that stuff.

We're looking forward to cooking out, sitting on the front porch in the mornings & the deck in the evenings, eating fresh veggies from our garden, attending outdoor music festivals & farmers' market.
