A long time without mini's

Hello to all my old friends and to the new ones I have yet to meet. It has been at least a year since Darrell or I posted. We have some difficulties and some big changes in our life lately. I am still looking for work, 17 months unemployed can do strange things to your bank account. Anyways we could no longer continue to live in the manner we were accustomed to. We ended up selling a lot of our belongings and borrowing some from one of the kids,and downsized. Last month we bought a single wide mobile home in a nice park.

I had some regrets leaving our 2 bedroom house and large yard. In just the few short weeks we have been here my whole attitude on life has changed. I can not remember being this happy and content in years. While I am not quite ready to start working on mini's again a few have been unpacked and placed in the house, dusted and a few pieces of furniture placed in them. It will be impossible for me to keep all the houses I have but for the present am undecided on what to do with them. I do plan to work on mini's once we get a little more unpacked and organized.

I really like the new place, it even has rose bushes in the yard already, and we can plant anything we want in the little yard. It seems strange that what I looked upon at first as a disaster has turned into such a blessing.

Hello Melissa I am sending you and Darrell a Huge HUG from me!! I have been wondering and thinking about you so much! I missed you two!! I tell you, down sizing can be a GREAT thing. I am so happy that everything has worked out for you both. The job situation is bad for a lot of people but it is amazing when you look back at it and see how well you have made it through together!! You sound like you are happy and have left some of the stress behind by down sizing.

Keep popping in! I Miss & Love you Girlfriend :jawdrop:

Melissa, it's so good to hear from you! You look lovely by the way . . . in your avatar photo!

Your new home looks just lovely and the setting couldn't be more perfect . . . how can you not be happy with roses in the yard?!! As long as you have some garden space to putter around in it's a good thing!

I wish you and Darrell all the best as you settle into your new home!

I'm fairly new myself so nice to meet you and it's nice to find someone with such a beautiful attitude about life! My b/f has been out of work since last September so I can sympathize with the bank account woes. I just buy minis as I can so my work is slow, but fulfilling.
