Nuove Abitudini

Nuove Abitudini
New Habits

So many things have changed in the few months since we moved to Sardinia. There are a lot of things that take some getting used to. Such as LAUNDRY! We have a washer but the dryer is super expensive to run, so I copied the locals and bought some laundry racks that hang over the balcony and have stated hanging everything in the fresh air. Reminds me of growing up when my mom would hang stuff on the line. I have definitely lost a few pair of socks!
 This kitchen is going to take some getting used to as well. There is definitely not a lot of space to store like we would have in the States. I've been learning how to buy for a few days at a time. On the plus side, more fresh food and local vegetables!
 Living Room does not really have a lot to get used to once we put our stuff in the room. Only difference is the amount of plugged in items has to be carefully managed or the fuses will blow. SO much for running the tv, fridge, and the microwave!
Look at all of that MARBLE floor! I thought at first that I would love it however, the hard floor is killing my feet! I find myself wearing tennis shoes or flip flops all of the time! Did I mention that we are on the 3rd Floor? That set of stairs is a killer with groceries or water bottles!
The biggest difference is my boys. We left Teddy and Spot with their grandpa in Virginia Beach. It was too hot for them to come over and with their age, I didn't want to take a chance.
Again, once the bed was up, there was not too much difference. Except for the fact that 
Except for the fact that I don't have anywhere near enough space for my clothes and the tv won't work.
 Even with all of these changes, with the views that I have from the front and back of the house, I have to say, that the sacrifices are going to be worth it!
