Country Life

On May 18, 2018 my partner in life and the adventures of life moved from a rural neighborhood in Montgomery County, Texas to a truly rural area in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. We're both very happy about the move. Not only did we move to "my happy place" near my grandparents house, where I spent many happy weekends growing up and had my first real kiss, but we got a much bigger house and yard than we had in Texas.
It's absolutely beautiful here, the roads wind through the forest and the lake. Very peaceful.
The first couple of weeks we were here, we didn't have television or internet. Both are available via satellite. Cell service is spotty and even though the previous owners of the property had a landline, we weren't able to get one because of a lack of ports or slots or something like that.
Next week marks three months since we made this 2600 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on 3.4 acres our home. We sit on the porch in the back more than the front porch to watch the birds and the fireflies in the evenings. The dogs are loving having lots of room to run and no fences to hinder exploration.
We spent 20 years and a few months in the house in Texas. We're looking forward to at least that many years at home in Louisiana.
