Life in Naples.....so far

You have all been so kind in following along with my relocation progress. I have received quite a few emails asking about my current living situation and I thought an update would be depressing fun.

I was 100% sure that I would have found a property to call home by now. We actually put an offer in on one home, but lost to a higher bid. The listing agent never came back to us to see if we would have increased our offer and did not serve her client well. That home has since closed, and to be honest, I'm not sad about it. It was going to be a HUGE project and I think I really want a moderate sized project, instead.

There are plenty of homes on the market, for those of you who keep asking (dad!!) but not where I want to live. I have more real estate alerts on my phone, than these guys. 

What can I say, we fell in love with a specific section and apparently, those people are not selling at the moment. C'mon snowbirds....it's time!

The weather is hot, there are no two ways about it. My daily uniform consists of these shorts and versions of this top. The locals tell me that this is Naples' version of the winter we have back in the Northeast (indoor only, weather). So far, I have not had to shovel one bit of sunshine and everyone is still smiling....I disagree.

My husband and kids are well settled and content, and of course that makes me happy. The other day, my husband and I went to the supermarket (modern day date night) and the Manager bagged our groceries. It made us laugh, things like that never would have happened at the A&P.

Now if I could only find out where I can buy this seltzer, it would really feel like home....for now. Thanks for hanging in with me, I promise there is more to come.
