10 days later, 700+ miles and much drama/effort, we are moved away from Long Island to North Carolina. Ensconced in boxes and slowly digging the bits of life out from between sheets of packing paper.
I'm exhausted, but happy. Our little house on the lake is quiet and calm, with a vista that is second to none.
No doubt that within a few months you will all be sick of lake pictures .... afterall my backyard is not going to move and nor is the lake! But I am hoping there will be a little diversity in the photo offerings.
This move is a little different than others I have experienced. No weight of the big corporate budget, which means a lot more effort on our part and it will take quite a few weeks before all the boxes are unpacked and put away. And whilst I can't abide mess or mayhem I've decided that I am not going to kill myself over getting stuff sorted out in 5 minutes.
Gotta take time each day to put up my feet and enjoy the view right? The sunsets each night are phenomenal!!
I can imagine the lake will be most inspiring creatively!

So glad you're settled!
We're on vacation with friends but had to check in! This photo is lovely. I think when you get nice sunsets that's the best sign

That view is amazing - I can't wait for more pictures. Take your time I am in my new house 2 years and still have a few unpacked boxes I am embarrassed to say.

what a lovely spot! We lived in Eden, N.C. for the first 5 y3ars we were married and loved it! please tell me about lake Norman. the name is faintly familiar but the location is lost! Is it one of n.c.'s man made lakes? 50 years ago is too long gone I'm afraid. hope you love it for a long time! eventually the boxes will disappear enjoy Spring!

WOW what a great view, don't rush sometimes you need to live in a place amongst the boxes to get a feel for where everything should go. Looking forward to the evolution of the lake view.

Who would get sick of lake pictures! You're in your new home; you can live with boxes as long as you like.

Phenomenal indeed! Serious envy going on here! I'm looking forward to all the lake and sunset pictures you can offer us, what a view and what a shot! I'm glad to hear you plan on pacing yourself with the unpacking, in the end it's those moments of joy that count in life and a camera to capture each one :-)

You're in a perfect place to put your feet up and enjoy the view, I would say! Take your time.
