Back to Chilly Delaware!

What's this white stuff Mommy?


We had to leave warm, beautiful, exciting Vero Beach since our rental contract expired on Monday 29 February and we had no home to stay in.  We left Vero at 8:30 AM and parked the car in our driveway in Delaware at slightly after midnight the same day.  Total distance 1033 miles; time: 13 hours - 30 minutes; average speed of 76.5 mph at a rate of 42.9 mpg. Yes we stopped for one fill-up, one rest stop, and one dinner for a total of 2 hours.

Enough folks that have been following us have asked more about the villa we are buying in Vero Beach.  Here is more info about us and the home.

 
 
 
 

A Chick Fil A will be will be a short walk from our villa's back door. It should be finished on 31 March.  

A look into the garage where the workbench will be on the left side.  Many of the previous owners articles are still left in the garage for storage.  The settlement will take place on 16 March without us being present.

Sue and the owner, Julia talking about this comfortable location in Vero Beach.  She has lived here for 10 years and now plans to live with her daughter in Tampa.

The kitchen is illuminated by a 10'x 5' skylight and should save electrical $$$ during the daytime.  We found the black microwave at a local estate sale.

Sue and Daisy sitting on the Natuzzi electrical recliner waiting for our king size mattress to arrive.  We have loaded most of the furniture and queen size bed into the guest bedroom so the owner would have room in the master bedroom.  One of our favorite things to do while living in our rental home was to shop at the consignment stores in and around Vero.  One of these stores that always has gorgeous items is Kaleidoscope off of Dixie Highway.  Don always says that it makes him feel good to see such beautiful items at really affordable prices.

View from the front porch area.

This is how we were able to move furniture into the villa and not have the expense of transportation costing us too much.

Home Depot rents this truck for $19.95 per 75 minutes.  

The large (20x15) side porch or as folks in Florida call it a Lanai.  We hope to have it tiled and place a grill and furniture so we can enjoy the warmer weather.

Entrance to our gated community: Sixty Oaks.

 

 

Two able bodied Best Buy Employees helping to load our new TV into the Passat.  They wouldn't let us take it out of the store ourselves.

Come visit when you are in Florida...1906 Sixty Oaks Lane. We are easy to find, right off of SR60 and about five miles from Interstate #95.
