New Adventure

2/3/2013

0 Comments

 
Well, 2013 has brought me a new adventure - I have moved to the coast of North Carolina.  Yes, those restless feet really started itching and friends offered to let me "caretake" their cottage on the coast of North Carolina.  It has been an adventure already.

One of the main things is adjusting to the increased cold temps (southern Georgia is very mild).  Another is the smallness of the towns since I have always been a city girl. But I am rising to these challenges the best I can.  I am researching more efficient ways to heat this little cottage and have joined a senior center in a nearby town to use their gym and meet people.

I have explored the nearby towns and they are truly charming.  I have also researched Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk (the large cities to the north).  I also plan to visit Kitty Hawk and Nagshead when the weather warms some.

It is nice to be in a small house again instead of an apartment.  Instead of "noisy" neighbors, I have no neighbors since this is basically a "summer" community.  That is not to say there is no one here; there are several fulltime residents and there is a community building for the area that I plan to visit.  I just do not have "next door" neighbors right now.

An additional note is that although I have not been driving long distances for the last 4 years, I polished off this move without a hitch.  I was proud that an OLD person like myself can still drive a long distance.  I plan on visiting a dear friend in Alexandria this spring since I made the trip here just fine.  Who knows what is ahead! I will keep you posted.
