Condos in Celebration, Florida (and Harry Potter!) January 13, 2013

Condos Are Wonderful--in Celebration, Florida, and So Is Harry Potter
 
January 13, 2013
 
 
      I spent Saturday looking at many condos, and of course my favorite was the most expensive and the largest one.  The most surprising to me was the condo located in an elegant resort hotel pictured above.  Celebration is a planned community within a few miles of Disney World.  Universal Studios is located on Interstate 4, not too far away.  Perfect place to live for someone like me, who will soon have nothing better to do than visit theme parks every day. 
 
      Of course, being more practical, I also like several condos which were located in the beautiful neighborhoods of lovely homes on tree-lined streets.  People walking their little dogs, joggers, and walkers added to the peaceful and quiet neighborhoods. 
 
      We saw enough condos, in all sorts of sizes and locations, to get a very good idea of what was available in our price range.  All very livable and appealing.  
 
      This put me in the mood to begin the redecorating/repairing of my current home, to prepare it for renting in the fall.  Instead of wishing and dreaming, I'm going to start by mowing and edging my very raggedy front and back lawn this morning.  Start  at the beginning, they always say.
 
     Have a great Sunday, and think of me out in the 80 degree sun, mowing down all the weeds this morning!   Within a few weeks, we will be experiencing winter temperatures in the 30 degree range, so I'd better do this yard work before I procrastinate any longer.
 
     I hope I don't talk myself out of this mowing job.  I may just jump in my car and drive to Universal Studios to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter instead.  Much more to my liking!
