A to Z Blogging Challenge: L is for Lake Livin' and Lazy Blogger


L is for Lake Livin' and Lazy Blogger

If you've been wondering why I've been such a lazy blogger lately, here's why: Let the moving commence! No more apartment! SAM and I are once again livin' at a lake, only this time it's in Florida, not Illinois. I was surprised to learn that there are around 7700 10+-acre lakes in Florida. That's a lot of water to enjoy even if you're landlocked like we are in Tallahassee.

The rent at the house we've leased is not much more than what we pay for the apartment. The owners have been trying to sell it for a while with no luck. They've moved on, and we're moving in. Our home in Santa Rosa County will have some tenants too. This move is going to be a two-stage deal for us. What fun!

The dock you see in the picture isn't in our yard. In fact, I can't even walk down to the water's edge from the house without walking through a jungle. SAM and I are going to be busy for the next few weeks clearing up an overgrown mess. Maybe he won't notice if I sneak away now and then to visit you and leave you a comment. Please don't be alarmed if my posting lapses for a while. I may have to miss a letter or two. Hopefully, they (the challenge hosts) won't kick me off the list.


Please see A to Z Blogging Challenge for links to more "L's" from Challenge hosts and other writers.

  2. Sounds like you will have a great excuse to miss a letter or two. Easy way would be to post one pic and one word! Ha, easier said then done, I know....

    Enjoy your clean up!

  3. Dear Walk2Write,
    first: moving to Florida sounds so exciting! I wish you all the luck! You will enjoy it.
    Second: of course you stay on the list. Your blogger's ABC is a great idea - and on the blogroll I'll see when you find time to write.
    Good Luck!!!

  4. Lucky you, even though you have to walk through a jungle to get to the water's edge. Good luck clearing the brush and I look forward to reading more when you have time.

  6. Stopping by from the aforementioned A-Z challenge. Congrats on the move!

    Nice banner! I'm jealous of the fact that you'll be living near a lake despite the fact that a jungle separates your walk. Still awesome!

    Great blog!
