It couldn't get much higher.....

We loved seeing our girls.

Sweet, except when we got there we realized we didn't just want to just stay in Florida a few months to help my mom and dad, we wanted to spend more time in Florida and this house was not where we wanted to be......... not near the beach.
So, we went up to the Venice Beach area, about 50 miles north, an area we had liked before, targeted the little town of Englewood and looked at houses,
First one, near old town Englewood, nice palm, but too small of a lot.

This one was adorable, but the foundation was post and pier and being eaten (devored) by termites.....













One of the best parts is that it is a few miles to this beautiful swimable beach.

The other best part, that I am extremely grateful for, is that we put the first house up for sale on craigslist, and sold it the next week for $30,000. It would have been a rental for us at best and the house on Catalan might now become a home.
It has been a long and crazy ride. Now we have a project in Florida, while we are there helping my parents. It is awesome how it has all worked out so far :) We are spending the winter in Florida instead of Mexico - that is a big change right there. Though there is a lot of Spanish spoken in Florida and we found a great Mexican resturant! Not quite the same but it will do.
