For those who may not know what has been happening in my life on 28th February my home and town was flooded and my husband and I spent a week in evacuation centre before we could get back into our house to clean it out with the help of family members and strangers. We have been staying with friends in the town we moved from nearly 9 years ago. We do not have the funds to repair our flood damaged home so put it on the market to sell as is. We found a one bedroom unit in a small retirement village in a small town ( population 2100) that we fell in love with. Last Thursday we went back to our house to do one last tidy up of the yard and bring back the remaining belongings we had saved and had stored in our large shed. On the way back on Friday we called into our solicitors to hand in the contract ( someone has bought our house) and give the real estate our remaining keys. But we did not get back here where we are staying that day as planned we got stuck in a town called Warwick because it was flooded at the northern end of the town ( we were heading north) so another night in an evacuation centre where we were fed well that night and the next morning by the local Lions Club. At least this flood water receded very quickly and we were able to leave on the Saturday afternoon. Yesterday because we will have the money from the sale of our house, we put in the contract on the unit in the retirement village. So we should be in our new little home before my birthday next month.
I’m so glad you have good news. I hope you will love living in the retirement village. Good luck as you begin this new stage of your life.
Happy for Anne-Marie. What a roller-coaster of emotions, I am sure. Sounds like you are making progress and I hope your new home is everything you desire.
Oh @A-M -AnneMarie, you have truly walked through a storm- I'm so glad to hear you like your new town and place. Thanking God for providing!

Thanks for the update Anne-Marie! I'm so glad you found someone to buy your house and that you found somewhere that you love to move to. That'll be a great birthday to celebrate in your new place.
It's SO good to hear from you!! I've been thinking of you so much and wonderful how the clean up was going. Bless your hearts, you've all been through so much. Sounds like you're all pulling together and helping each other out - that's wonderful. Sending love, hugs and prayers to you.
So glad you are doing ok Anne-Marie! What a relief your house sold, and you found a new location! Best wishes on the move and settling in!
It sounds like a great plan! I know it wasn't your original plan but sometimes the twists and turns in our lives are the Lord's way of helping us to something better in the end. I hope this is true for you! I know it doesn't make it better at all, but I hope it will eventually be better. I can't wait to hear about your retirement village and your little place! Or better yet, see it in pages!
