I'm starting to adjust to living in this rental house. We've been here a month now, which still seems strange to me.
Yet, we have all our own furniture, which helps matters a lot. They had furniture in the house when Jay looked at it. I insisted that I wanted my own furniture, so the other things are being stored in a garage out back.
This is a picture that I took of our living room in the rental house. It's OK I guess, we will be staying here until the end of May. Then, we will be building another house, this is the plan that we've made.
Photo: Mine from an hour ago.

It looks a bit countryish is it Kharla? Far out? It is lovely, simply lovely.

I sway towards countryish decorating and I probably always will:) We had paneling in the other home, similar to rough sawn barn lumber and I loved it!

It looks like a nice rental, I know you want your own home, but glad you found something decent to rent. Rentals where I live have shot up and up in price, and then there aren't hardly any to rent, a person is often on a waiting list.

The other rental was a one bedroom apartment, not big enough for all our furnishings.

We can't move the furniture. Jay placed it in a circular position, to make them fit the room.

Yeah you need your own furniture to make it feel like home to you even if it is for a short time

The personal furnishings were a must, to make this rental house a genuine home:) At the end of May, we will be moving out, I can't wait!

It's nice, Kharla, but I know you'll be glad to get in your own home.

Renting for a few months, it's not that bad. But, being in our own home, that will be much better:)

This rental home(minus the huge black spiders) is definitely warm and cozy:)

Yes, we are starting to get used to this different home. I love my own furnishings, not someone elses.

Our rent is paid through May. Then, we will build a new home on property we purchase. That should take about one month.

I am quite comfortable living here, as long as Jay is around. I hated living alone!

I didn't want to move at 71 years old, but I had no other choice.
