Dear (((((((Gem))))))), it was so Neat to See a Thread about your 'Adventures! in Moving!' I am So Thankful to our Gracious Lord that your New Place is Working Out Well! I Remember your Mentioning how Noisy the Old Place was; Praises be to our Loving Savior for this more Quiet, Nicer Place! (I Especially Love how there are Trees and Wetlands all Around you. Thank You, our Merciful Lord in Heaven!)
Chair, it is Nice to Make your Acquaintance. God Bless you!
Kitty Mittens, it is great to see a post from you. I was praying along with the many other FReepers for you a while ago.
Yes, the old place was terribly noisy -- just ghastly. I never knew what would hit next. Here I've found no more screamers having neurotic episodes in the parking lot or the next unit, people above me dropping bowling balls or whatever at 3 AM, juvenile delinquents climbing up and down my patio wall for access to the apartment above, etc. I feel as though I came out of Egypt with this move. It was a lot worse at the old place than I described online.
I'm addicted to being near trees. I love them, always have. These provide a beautiful, practical buffer to the city noises, lights, and views. There is a lake / park nearby also.
