Congratulations Debra!!! The hunt is over. I am so happy you finally found a great house and yard! Please send us a photo or two when possible. I am guessing you will be using a lot of cardboard this fall, just like Kate!

Hooray for finding a house you like in Indianapolis. That's a load off your mind. Now the physical work starts. I don't envy you that. How long were you in your Nashville home? It boggles the mind how much "stuff" one can accumulate in the garden- let alone the contents of the house and garage. I hope you have lots of help......We will miss your picture posting, but hope you can keep us up to date at how your move is doing. I wish you all the best in your new home.........Maryl

Debra, so happy for your good news!! Big sunny yard sounds great. I wonder what's in the yard now, lawn or?

Wow sorry about yet another laptop breaking. I can't type on the phone, too frustrating..

Congrats on your new house. I'm sure that is a load off your mind. Being a gardener really complicates the house hunt.

Congrats on finding your new home. Love the idea of the enclosed deck area. I'm sure your family and friends are so excited to have you close by and you have that support system in settling into your new house. Hoping all goes smoothly on the closing. Looking forward to seeing your new space and what you plan to do with the yard.

That is wonderful news Debra.

As to computers, the Back Market has a lot of like new refurbished computers. I buy my phones there and have gotten some computers for clients. The ones in excellent condition are like new, have a good warranty, etc. Save a lot of money!!! Here's a link of a search I did for excellent ones with the best brands, Dell, Lenovo and HP. https://www.backmarket.com/en-us/search?q=laptops&p=0#backbox_grade=10%2520Excellent&brand=99%2520Dell&brand=99%2520Lenovo&brand=99%2520HP&brand=99%2520GIGABYTE

Walmart sellers on line also have some excellent deals I've gotten for clients. I narrowed down all the options https://www.walmart.com/search?q=laptops&facet=brand%3AHP%7C%7Cbrand%3ALenovo%7C%7Cbrand%3ADell%7C%7Coperating_system%3AWindows+10+Home%7C%7Coperating_system%3AMicrosoft+Windows+10+Professional%7C%7Cprocessor_type%3AIntel+Core+i5%7C%7Cprocessor_type%3AIntel+Core+i7%7C%7Cprocessor_type%3AAMD+Ryzen+5%7C%7Cprocessor_type%3AAMD+Ryzen+7%7C%7Cram_memory_general%3A8GB%7C%7Cram_memory_general%3A12GB+%26+Up%7C%7Chard_drive_type%3ASSD%7C%7Cscreen_size_laptop%3A16%22+%26+Up

If you find any you want, feel free to send me links and I'll tell you what I think.

I assume you will put in a fence, if there is not already one there. The back porch is a great asset. Sunny yards are a positive, except when you need escape from the sun. I am glad that most of my daylilies have some partial or filtered shade in the morning. Makes viewing much more enjoyable.

I am so happy for you Debra. I know it has been so stressful and now you have a place, love it and the screened deck sounds so nice. The plants you sent are doing well even with the heat we are experiencing.

Maryl - I have lived in my Nashville house for 37 years, so there is a lot of stuff. I’m cleaning out and packing mostly by myself and with hired help to do the heavy lifting.

Brad - I probably will just get a new laptop, but probably not until late September or October. My last laptop was a Dell, and it lasted 12 years - twice as long as any of our previous HPs. My sister has a Lenovo, and I was thinking of getting that brand or another Dell. Thanks for all the info!
