Movin' on up, to the Eastside....

Okay, so we've rented this condo in Fountaingrove until our own condo in Windsor is completed. Fountaingrove is the so-called "wealthy" part of town. Homes are over a million dollars, with quite a few costing closer to 2 million and a few for even more. So, I'm living in the poor part of Fountaingrove, if that makes sense. And everyone in this complex is retired. My son said they should have named it Stonefield Retirement Community. It's great, though, to see all of these seniors out playing tennis and golf--we're right across the street from the tennis court and can see the golf course right beyond that. We're probably the LEAST active people here as well as being the youngest.
ANYHOW---this condo is drop-dead gorgeous and I'm scared to death we'll ruin it with our 19 year old slob--I mean, son--and our 2 dogs and 1 cat. It's completely furnished with all new mission style furniture and looks professionally decorated. AAARGH. It's got 2 master suites that are to die for. It's all done in a Tuscan style---we're in wine country, after all--and there's a gorgeous mural on the breakfast nook wall. The colors are fabulous--different shades of gold, eggplant and persimmon on the walls. And the linens and towels are super luxurious--when I said completely furnished, I meant COMPLETELY. Linens, dishes, even soap dishes. It's like walking into a 5 star hotel. Everything is beautiful. God knows it should be for $2500 a month! I hope it still is when we leave!
