Stephen and I spent all day last Friday checking out apartments in Shreveport. We looked in the areas that we were told would be good,but in the end we settled on an apartment north of town in the countryside. It is a fourplex with a tiny postage stamp fenced in back yard,but it is set in a pine forest and there is a gate in the back and you can go right out into the woods. Lots of open areas. It has more of a feel of a housing development than an apartment complex. All of the apartments in their price rang are about thirty or more years old and about the same size as the one they have now, so looking for how they have kept them up was a factor. These apartments had granite counter tops even in the bathroom and nicer cabinets. Oh, yes, and they come with a washer and dryer! We hope that Desirae will like it. I don't think that she will ever stay home again! It was hard for her not to be there with us. Stephen's cell phone was nearly dead by the end of the day.
I also want to say that Stephen spent Saturday doing yard work and putting up our Christmas lights! He was such a great help! Ted was in Gonzales (near Baton Rouge) with Rosalia at a soccer tournament.
