We’ve had some cold days here in central Florida as northern weather systems come south. Yes, I know by northern standards, it’s not really cold. To residents of Florida who have adapted to lots of heat, it is cold. Luckily most days we still have deep blue skies and white clouds. Right now I am recovering from an extremely hard day yesterday moving. It was filled with errors from morning ’til night. I’m in my fluffy robe, in a recliner at an Air B & B in Lakeland. I’m not really closed on either property (house nor condo) even though it seemed I signed a thousand documents yesterday. There is a form for final lender approval on buyer of my house that has not been received. Last night I heard it is hoped to be finalized by 2 this afternoon. That was the first error. I won’t go into my tale of woe any further. A truck filled to the brim with my belongings sits ready to come to Lakeland and I am paying for daily rental. My painter who was supposed to start on the condo yesterday afternoon went to his next job and will work on my unit part-time. The cleaner and handy man are waiting for word they will help tomorrow. And I sit.
Here are a few photos from the grounds of the condominium where I am moving. I’ll begin with turn from the street into the 3 building complex. Enjoy!
There is a tennis court by one building.
There is also a shuffleboard area next to tennis court.
Last there is a swimming pool.
The swimming pool faces the lake.
I’ll be in touch again probably this weekend. I am hoping and praying to be very busy with the condo in the next few days. I will not be online a lot to answer comments; therefore, I am thanking you all for your kind support. It means a lot to me. Wishing you all blue skies!

Hi Carol, I am so happy that you are taking us on this journey with you. I am excited for you. There seems to be a lot to do there on the grounds. Soon the strife will be over my friend and you’ll be all settled into yout newly painted, newly handyman inspected and healed, and with your personal touches. Good for you! Enjoy the ride and keep us posted.
I hope all these delays will be over soon. Moves always seem to have their frustrations. I shall look forward to your next post telling us you have moved in. In the meantime I will be thinking of you and constantly sending you positive vibes. I have heard about the colder weather in Florida. When we are used to the hotter weather, it is a bit of a shock to the system. I remember that when we moved from California. I enjoyed the photos of your new area. Wishing you much good luck from here on ????
That’s a very beautiful place. All the best to the smooth move, Carol.
If you want it cold Carol visit with me because it’s snowing and raining back and forth and the temp is going down to 10 degrees later on and the wind is going to be in the 50 mph. Winter is here.
I love your pool area. It’s a shame that you have to deal with these people. Good luck my friend.

Good skies.
Its cold here too and started snowing. We were actually praying for snow because if it won’t snow in BC there can be water restrictions in summer.
Es muy bonito donde te mudaste. Te mando un beso.
Yes! Too cold for Florida right now but so glad not to be in NY where we lived for 60 years! Hope you finish closing on your house and get into your condo soon!
When I heard Florida I think of aligators
Hopefully the document will come today and you can get the move in order and going. I know you must be incredibly frustrated but do your best to keep calm — all shall be well. .Meanwhile, we’ll look forward to all the details and photos!
I have just looked what the temperature is in Florida today and it’s 25°C. I would class that as summer weather over her in England. It’s 5°C here today. lol but I imagine you are used to it being much, much warmer.
Oh no! The move sounds like a nightmare, I hope it is all sorted soon. What a great complex with lots to do. I bet the view over the lake is fantastic.
As many houses and condos are bought and sold every day, I still don’t understand why it is such a cumbersome process. I hope it all clears up soon and you get moved in.
I hope everything works out for you. It has been COLD here in FL.
Last time I played shuffleboard was when I was just out of high school, back in 78
Your new place looks beautiful. Sorry for all the stress and hassle. It seems we humans have a propensity for making things as rediculously complex as possible!
I hope that everything worked out in the end and that your painter is hard at work and all the forms are signed. I am sure you are going to enjoy that pool when the weather is warmer.
