I really haven't been ignoring my blog. I have been very busy. Mr. C and I have officially listed our home and property For Sale. This is a very big step for us. We have lived here almost twenty years.
When we bought this place it was a brand new mess. Construction ground everywhere with no landscaping. The house was only finished about 2/3 of the way due to the divorce of the couple having this custom home built. It was builder beige and boring. Along came Mr. C and I...
We were getting married, we are do-overs. Mr. C was selling his computer company in Southern California, we were getting married out of country (that is an entire story of its own) and we were moving to Northern California all while our baby kitty was ill and in the hospital in an oxygen tent (thankfully she was saved and we shared our lives for 18 years together). We do have an exciting life.
We have poured our hearts and souls into this home and property...not to mention the enormous amount of money and work. Mr. C has done most of the work along with contracted specialists.
It would take me days to tell all the tales we have shared in building this place we call home. We love it here, however it is time to move on. Mr. C wants to move out of California even though we are both natives.
This is where we like to sit and enjoy our beautiful home in the trees. It is very peaceful here. We have been extremely happy. It has been a dream come true for us. Now we are ready for our Sunset chapter of life.
Our weather was warm and beautiful for Autumn. Then we got some very welcome rain. Snow fell over Donner Pass and in the higher Tahoe ski mountains. The temperatures have turned chilly and Winter is on its way. More snow is predicted for the Thanksgiving weekend.
We will be celebrating with family and being mindful of all the things we are so very grateful for. May you and your families and friends enjoy a truly wonderful Thanksgiving.
Christmas is just around the corner. Fa la la la la...

It looks beautiful - so peaceful and serene. I can see myself enjoying that deck and the wonderful view of nature. I hope it sells quickly for you and that the new owners will find as much happiness as you have there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Ms. Createology! Best wishes for a speedy, agreeable sell.
ReplyDeleteWhile one marriage was ending, one was beginning and has stood the test of time. You've done wonders with the property over the years. All the best with the sale and eventual move.
ReplyDeleteIt will be sad to leave but down sizing is a good idea what a beautiful home you have here and I am sure a buyer will be found soon and ou can then search for your new home
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I hope you find just the right buyer for your beautiful home so that you can move on to your next chapter.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your sale! Your home and its setting look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, your home is to die for and I can't believe that it won't sell quickly. Probably a good idea to get it on the market as interest rates are already heading up. any thoughts on where you might be settling after the sale? I bet Mr. C has researched what would be a good area.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!

Your home is lovely! It will be hard to leave with all you have put into it to make it home, but new adventures call. All the best with selling and relocating. Now that you are in the official market, hope it happens quickly for you.

ReplyDeleteIt is hard to leave behind anything that has such an investment of ones soul. But I expect it'll go quickly and you will once again invest your souls in an whole new adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous home and property! Best of luck selling it quickly! What young, successful couple wouldn't want to live there? XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home and setting! You and Mr. C have done so much there! Hoping for a quick sale for you; surely it'll be snapped up by some discerning potential owner! Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Sherry!
ReplyDeleteGoodness...your home is beautiful (just like you!!) and I can only imagine the trepidation that comes from this decision to leave. So many memories but you'll never lose those memories!! So the house will always be with you both.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Sherry, now the New Chapter begins. After all that back-breaking work, you probably have the house as you have always wanted...now you want/need to move.
ReplyDeleteYour home lokks gorgeous, but all that gorgeousness comes at a cost.I can tell it would be a house that would require constant up-keep, and now you are at the stage when you might wonder if it is worth it.
Your Craft Room looks fab. I would want to keep that table top if I was your new buyer!
All the best with the sale.Hope it sells quickly.
Good Morning Sherry,
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous home and setting. We are do-overs too and what a blessing this new life has been.
Good luck to you and your move and we would welcome
you in Texas! (although, it is not nearly as
scenic)
Happy Thanksgiving,
Jemma
Such a beautiful home and scenic setting! Best wishes with the sell, and in writing the next chapter of your lives!
ReplyDeleteSherry good luck with the sale of your home. When I just got married,we found a similar setting and a nice home too in the woods on eleven acres. We too purchased the home from a couple who were divorcing. Our home was in WA and we had moved from CA to WA. It was our dream home at the time, but we only lived there a few years. Sending you good selling vibes. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hope you are in your new home in the new year.
ReplyDeleteMany memories made, many new ones to come. This is indeed an amazingly beautiful property - all you can trust in is that together you will find something equally amazing. I hope it all goes well, and as you wish.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving dear Sherry, and all the best to you both!
Your house is very beautiful. You should rightly be pleased with everything that you have achieved. We have lived in our present home for 32years and still doing it up. hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home, no doubt it will be hard to leave but also no doubt you two will be happy where ever you sent down new roots.
