We celebrated Julie’s Mom’s 90th birthday on Sunday, October 25th. Although we couldn’t see her in person, we celebrated with her with a Zoom meeting. It included Mom (Grammy), all three daughters, all four grandchildren, and one great grandson. It was fun to see everyone in Taiwan, Columbia, Utah, Colorado, Texas, New York and Florida.
Last Friday, October 30th, Julie and I finally closed
on our new home in Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach. We purchased the new
home last December. They began construction in June and finished the house in
late-October. We began moving out of our motorhome and into this 55+ retirement
community right after closing. It’s been quite a transition for us (and our cat
Shasta) to move from our “house on wheels” for the past 7 ½ years to this
house. We took delivery of some furniture last Friday and Saturday that we
ordered last summer, so we would have a place to sit and a bed to sleep on.
On Sunday, November 1st, we drove the motorhome from
Titusville and parked next to the house to unload the rest of our stuff, mostly
into the garage. Then we took the motorhome to a storage place to park it for
the time being.
We love it here in Latitude Margaritaville. It’s a very
active community with nice amenities (fitness center, paradise pool, tennis and
pickleball courts, on-site bar & grill, and a new beach club on the
Atlantic). Latitude Margaritaville is currently adding more previously planned amenities,
since they have sold 1,000 homes since they opened in 2018. They’re adding a
lap pool to the fitness center, a small theater, a work and play activities
center, and more tennis and pickleball courts.
Stay safe out there!
Steve & Julie
