March 2, 2015. Ridgeland, Ms. Our new House.

Look it up. The address is 511 Roses Bluff, Madison, Mississippi. The location is about a half a mile from our present condo and sets overlooking the Reservoir. The house sets high which you would expect on a street called Bluff but the view is beautiful. The walkway to the small dock has a sturdy railing so it is safe enough to walk. Ken will be happy puttering around the yard and fishing from the dock. The first floor is what I like the best. The home is spacious but not huge or grand. Everything Ken and I need is on the first level and the water side has windows top to bottom. The master bedroom with a small sitting room plus a huge closet is on that level along with all the other parts of a house, including a laundry room and half bath. As the land drops away, the lower lever is above grade, so again has windows across the whole water side of that level. The lower level has two bedrooms and one small bedroom plus two full bathrooms. Also a good sized sitting room. Our family and friends will be able to visit us and still enjoy a bit or privacy. The contract finally was ratified this morning, contingent on the settlement of the farm. Ken and I are delighted, and I have a project. The farm settles on March 25 and our new home on April 1. Fortunately for us, the house was never staged for sale. The lady must have 10,000 objects in that house. She has beautiful furniture and art but you can't see either the house or the art because it it too busy. We just got lucky!!
