We close on our South Florida home this coming Thursday. I hope our skies are this blue and that the new owners will enjoy this home as much as we have.
We'll move into our temporary apartment in the Tampa area this week and wait for our new home to be built. It'll be good to say, "Ahhh" at the end of this hectic week.
I will be posting each and every day, so please plan to come back. I always return visits and comments.

Wow! That sure went by quickly! Hope your moves all go well!
Where do you retire to when you already live in South Florida? Someplace colder?
It ought to be an emotional week for you.... leaving your home..... but also exciting...a new place...and a new start! Rest when you can.. I am sure you are running on empty! Sending hugs...Susan
Wishing you all the bright blue sunny skies that God has to offer...
congratulations on the closing... I know you're thrilled!
I'm excited for you and can't wait to see your new place*! _Ashley ~
Congratulations on your closing! This is my very first post on my new (additional) blog. And I'm so glad that it's blue! Thanks so much for hosting!
It must be exciting and sad. I am sure you leave memories behind but are moving forward to making new ones.
Iris
All my best wishes as you design and build you new home.
That is just wonderful, Sally. I'm glad you found an apartment. Come over to my blog. I tagged you for a fun game.
This will be a big change,
but change is good.
Hope all goes well on the move,and we'll see you again soon.
blessings, and thanks for being such a terrific host.
Barbara Jean
I hope all goes well..best wishes for a happy new adventure!
It will probably be a rough week. Sometimes it helps to remember that when one door closes another opens. Rest as much as you can and don't forget to take care of you.
Congratulations on the closure! Selling a house is a stressful thing, but once its all over its such a relief!
You always have mixed emotions when you move, sad your leaving a home with memories and excited because you are moving to a new one to make new memories. Congratulations on closing, hope everything goes well for you!
~Ann
New beginings will be a great experience. New things to blog about too. Have a great one .Kathy
Oh, I know how excited you must be. A good move...closer to your loved ones. A brand new house. I am excited for you, Sweet Smiling Sally. I wish you all the luck in the world.
I can't wait to see that new house. Bet it is going to be so pretty. Have you already picked out everything? Flooring, colors, kitchen...etc??
You're moving!?! I wish you the best of luck!
HOW EXCITING!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Painting coming up soon... not enough time to get it for today... son graduated from jr high and house guests all week... stay tuned!!!

Stepping from one world into another is exciting and scarey! But o what a feeling!
Wishing you happiness!

Good Morning Sally, how exciting for you! I wish you the best of luck. How nice it will be to have a new home! Nothing to fix! LOL

It's always exciting, however tiring, to be moving. Hope all goes well for you, Sally! Have a great week.
Blessings,
Sandi
I hate moving... and construction and have done more of this in the last five years than I ever want to do again... I do hope things go well and smoothly.
I embrace change because it is always full of adventure, possibilities, friends...Congrants on reaching this milestone, now on to make new memories! I will be in your shoes all too soon.
Hope all goes well with the transfer. Enjoy this week and then another adventure begins or just continues!
My post is about a Florida trip.
Happy Monday,
Candy
Have a wonderful and exciting week. I hope all goes super smoothly.
Congratulations! Maybe it is good that you will have a bit of a reprieve before it is time to unpack and set up at your new house.
Happy Blue Monday.
I will be thinking about you this week Sally as you close on your home. It's exciting and yet emotional I'm sure. I wish you every happiness in the world ♥
I know you must be excited to start this new chapter in your life. Just keep lots of blue exactly where it should be! Happy day to you.
How exciting! Good luck on the move, Sally!...Christine
Hope all goes well - Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn
Sounds like everything is coming together! Hope everything involved with the move goes well!
Thinking of you, Dear One! Hooray on your closing! Hope all goes smoothly for you and can't wait to see your new temp housing!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
With the view from your back yard I am not surprised that your home sold so quickly... Now you are almost in my back yard... We are just over the bridge in Pinellas County... Hope all goes well for you & your new home...
(((HUGS)))
Donna
Best wishes for you these last few days. I bet they are exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time.
Moving is never fun, but I am sure you and family will adjust well. I do so enjoy your Blue Monday post, and will to try to participate when I find nice blue items.
I know it will be hard handing over the keys. Just keep the image of your new house in your mind to get you through it.
You gave me a good scare with the title of this post...I thought you were closing the door on Blue Monday.
I can only imagine what these weeks have been like for you packing up and now moving. Blessings on you as you move into the apartment and wait for your home to be built!!
My first time to do Blue Monday!
Goodluck with the home building and congrats on selling yours.
Blue skies for you!
Best wishes on this new venture and chapter in your lives, Sally! I look forward to hearing about the progress of your home and settling into the apartment!
I have no blue monday post today but I had to see how things were going for you. We have lived in the same house for over 30 years, I can't even begin to imagine packing for a move! But I'm so excited for you in this adventure!
Kathy b
Congrats on the closing! Exciting times for you. As well as up and down emotions too I am sure. Good luck with everything and stay safe as you travel to your new town.
I liek the photo, and symbolic with giving the key and having blue sky,

I have been looking forward to this week ALMOST, I said ALMOST, as much as you have. I'm excited for you but I will be glad when you are settled into your new apartment. I'm praying for a smooth transition.
Beautiful shot!
And I wish you all the Best for the move and for the new house!
Happy Blue Monday
You are so diligent Sally! I'm glad you are going to be able to move and settle in again...for a while...how exciting!!
have a lovely day

Hi Sally
Happy Blue Monday .
Congratulations on the house closing it's almost time to hit the trail.
You must be so excited .
Looking forward to all the great and thrilling stories you will be sharing as you move and oh yeah move once more to a beautiful new home.
I am very happy for you Sally.
Have a very happy week.
Blessings to you .
Hugs
Hi Sally, Congrats---almost!!!! Soon you will begin your NEW life!!! WELL--it won't really be 'new' 'til your home is built. But--maybe the interim time will help you just getting to know people, finding doctors, churches, directions to get around the area, etc...
GIVEAWAY on my blog--today only!! Pass the word.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy
I hope this week's activities go smoothly and safely for you. Sally
I hope that everything goes smoothly at the closing! Happy Blue Monday.
that was strange, because I was absolutely certain I DID comment on the blue sky. But there has been a lot of trouble with blogspot access tody.
maybe my comment was lost in cyberspace. :(
Have a nice day :)
Sorry...didn't mean to pass by you.
I love your photo- congrats on the closing. Hope all goes smooth.Happy Blue Monday! This is such fun thanks for doing it!
Sally, I left you a comment last night, it's the 5th one on the list. But, I wanted to leave another one to thank you for letting me flaunt the "teal" today. I'm always a little hesitant to add too much about the cancer on my blog, for fear of it becoming too depressing and no one would want to come by, but Ovarian Cancer Awareness is near and dear to my heart, and reaching other women with the warnings is very important, so thank you again for allowing me to do that today on Blue Monday*!
(((hugs))) _Ashley
Hi Sally, sorry I didn't leave you a comment earlier, I'm still playing catch up. I had to get to work this morning and I was running late. Thanks for being such a great hostess. So you're building a new home? That sounds exciting!
Good Luck with your closing and move this week. I just found your blog today and I really enjoy reading it!
Hi Sally,
I am so happy for you that you are closing, my best to you on building your new home . I am looking forward to you sharing this great adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Sue
Congrats on the move, I know everything will go wonderfully for you!
Hi Sally

Fitty
Hi Sally,
I'll just participate next week. I couldn't find any esp. for my first entry.I like blue also.
I wish you well in your new home
Have a great week.
Oh, I'm so sorry, I was here earlier and left a comment congratulating you on the closing of your home, but something must have happened. Thanks so much for hosting!!!
Congratulations! How exciting to be building a home! Did you say in your post how long you expect to be in the apartment? I look forward to seeing pictures of the house under construction and after you move. laurie
Hi Sally
It's a little late but as they say better late than never. I thought I had left you a comment. I wrote it on my blog where I thanked you.
Happy Trails
Love Claudie
xoxo
Sorry for not leaving the comment and thanks for reminding me :)
Good luck for your moving! It is always very exciting but exhausting, too :)
Happy Blue Monday, Sally. I hope to participate next week.
This must be a happy and sentimental week for you all at once. I'm a little lost on why you are moving and where your current home is. I noticed a few similar comments. Care to share??
I hope your week is as stress free as possible! :-)
xoxo
Jane
It has to be such a bittersweet week for you. Moving is trying but you have so much to look forward to! I am so pleased that the sale process has gone as quickly for you as it has!
I think I have told you that we lived in Tampa for 3 years and loved it.
I hope that the buiding process goes well and quickly and that soon you will be settled in your beautiful new home making new memories there!
Love,
Sue
