Settling in …sort of

August sunrise from our new home

My dear friends, moving to our new home has been relentlessly time consuming. Our summer [and spring] was spent packing, moving [not lacking mishaps and disasters] and unpacking and there’s still a great deal to do. However, this is the first time I see some “light ahead” . Stories to tell and images to share but all in due time. I look forward to visiting everyone’s blogs. Till then, I leave you with music Oannes posted all this time I was unable to share.

  1. Hello Marina. Long time no talk. Hope all is well with you and family.

    Just so you know…I am officially back on WordPress and writing new material.
    Whenever you have free time on your end. Stop by. 🙂 Sending you a million blessings my friend.

  2. Good to see you back! I hope moving in is going well. We’re into our ninth month in our new home and still have many many boxes to unpack. I know your pain… 😀

  3. Dear Marina, what wonderful opening & closing photos! I have missed you here & look forward to your return soon. Good luck with finishing the move (it always takes longer than you imagine, I should know after 2 apartments & 6 houses!) 🥂🤗💐🙋‍♂️

  4. I was thrilled to see your post come up in my reader, Marina. I knew something exciting was happening in your life. Congratulations on your move. I am imagining that I am sitting with you watching the August sunrise from your new home. Thank Oannes for the music! Sending many hugs your way.

  5. hand on heart Marina I only thought about you today, wondering how things are with your new home. Wishing you many many happy and productive times in what looks to be a gorgeous place for you three!

  6. I’m so happy to see a post from you, Marina! Your sunrise is gorgeous and so is the setting with your charming table and chairs and candle. Love it! Good luck getting all settled, and Congrats on your new home! Sending love and hugs! xoxoxo

  7. Soooo happy to finally get news of you. I was about to send out a posse!!

    I’ll check out the tunes later as, at work, I just can’t hear them!

  8. Looking gorgeous Marina, I’m so happy for you both.

    The view looks fantastic. And I’m sure Hera loves it too.
    Sending you both all my love. We’ve missed you, but home definitely comes first.

    Mega hugs my friend 🤗 ❤️ 😍💕😘❤️🤗

  9. Hello Marina! kind of have an idea about what you have been through…me too I had to move, not by choice though, apartment was reclaim by landlord, moved after 34 years at the same place, lucky, a friend of mine had a place on the second floor of his place, nice surrounding, nice garden, not mine…I am not good at gardening…:) and yes me too, getting completely reinstalled is taking much time, slow process…my age does not help…:D So see you around!

  10. Looks like a beautiful spot to appreciate the sunrise! ☀️🌞😎🐓🪑

    Glad to hear you see some end in sight to the process – best of luck with the final stages.

    Take care 🐉
