My New Home in 2006
Song Playing is "Because Of You." The last lines are..."because of you, my life is now worthwhile and I can smile, because of you." This is meant for my family and my friends.
Moooving again? Yep in 2006.
First, you HAVE to see My latest great-great granddog, Chloe, a Toy Yorkie 3 months old and won't get much bigger.
Well, the elevator shafts are in!.
A closer look at the architect's rendering.
Coming right along!.
Another view. Autumn 2005.

I was told I wasn't allowed to take pictures! So we drove around the block and got a back view.
Finished and moved in July 2006.
The entryway. 9/15/2006.
Brother, sister and me at entryway. She's a ham!LOL
A tradition...2 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson celebrating New Year's eve 2006-07 watching the ball in Times Square on TV.
Our first Christmas here. The poinsettia is only the MIDDLE of the table.
The tree in the community room. One man bought photo ornaments for each of us to put our photo in, and they will be saved as "the first residents of this new building".
I have to warn you that I am eclectic in my decor. Living room is Native American, Bedroom is leopards, Jesus, and Elvis, Bathroom is seashells, and Kitchen is cats, mice, birds,and bees. Okay, it's a decorator's nightmare, but it's ME!
My living room at Christmas.
(Close-up)My oldest son made this for me many years ago from a styrofoam ball and communion cups!I'll treasure it forever.
Dining area, with the kitchen to the right.
It isn't just people who forget things as they grow old. Here's 11 year old Kissa falling asleep while scratching her ear! LOL.
One wall of living room.
Computer desk in bedroom.
Elvis's picture was at my birthday party. I didn't know where I wanted to put it. Sis Kayte suggested this!!! Right beside my bed!.
Youngest son went to China on a business trip and brought me the picture of a cat on the right side of the picture. Made by pulling strands of silk apart and bamboo and placing them one by one, so I made an Oriental section too..
Entryway with new benches.
Patio with new benches.

Grandson & great-grandson, New Year, 2007-2008.
Grandson told my middle daughter that these 2 parakeets were not allowed to live together until they were married! So oldest daughter, a minister, performed the ceremony, youngest daughter and her husband gave the "bride" away, grand-daughter was the bridesmaid, great-granddaughter was the flower girl, great grandson was "ring" bearer and the grandson was best man. They even have a marriage certificate, but it didn't turn out plain enough for here. May I present Mr. and Mrs. Keets.LOL.
