Today was a fantastic day.  We have been busy doing so much and still only half the boxes are unpacked.  But… since arriving we have been going non-stop.

We have already put Idaho plates on our car and we are studying to take the driver’s license test on Thursday.  We have to test coming from out of state and being that there are different rules here – we are really paying attention to the state rules.

I love the neighborhood.  It is like a “gated” community without the gate.  Meaning we have a gorgeous swimming pool, a beautiful clubhouse and 3 separate playgrounds with all the wonderful kid play equipment.  We couldn’t have asked for more and we don’t have to maintain the pool – lol.

I am excited about our today’s purchase of furniture for our great room.  I will get it a week from this Saturday as it is coming from Phoenix, AZ.  The Sofa, love seat and rocker recliner are in a soft leather with tones of dark brown and merlot.

The most outstanding difference in people and attitudes here is that no one and I mean NO ONE rushes here and all are friendly and freely speak and share stories of family.  Even the fast food drive thru lady began with “Hi welcome to Jack in the box – take your time and when you're ready to order – just let me know” - Can you believe that?
