Across the Lake

Good day friends!

Today’s post is a bird’s eye view from (literally) across the lake, to Royalview.

These photos were captured prior to us purchasing Royalview. They were on our home’s listing and really brought joy to our hearts, to see the area from this vantage point.

And speaking of “bird’s eye view”, we have seen a couple of eagles that must live here in the area. We look forward to getting to know about all the wildlife here. When we first moved in we could hear coyotes howling, and did see one on the road one evening. That was fun. We of course do have squirrels and birds. We’ve seen a few ducks on the lake, and there is a very friendly neighborhood cat that was our first new “neighbor” to pay us a visit. He is known by our other neighbors and everyone seems to take care of him. We do not know what his name is, but we’re calling him Carlton.

We’ll be back soon with moving in updates and pics. We’ve been busy this week with contractors coming by to put in bids for things that need to be done on the outside. There will be power washers out tomorrow. We’re really looking forward to the outside getting cleaned up. Will post some before/after pics. It’s sure to be a big transformation.

Till then, take care and stay joyful!

Hello everyone! So thankful to be here!

My name is Johanna. My husband, Willie, and I just made a huge change (and move) in our lives. We uprooted ourselves from our hometown and home of 31 years, and moved to a (new to us) small Texas town, in which we have purchased our new home, that we’re lovingly calling, Royalview.

We have been on a soul-searching and across-Texas journey for the past 2 years, longing to be a part of a smaller community, and to be in an area that still possesses a good amount of God’s natural beauty that we can enjoy right outside our own home.

We are both still pinching ourselves to believe the wonderful blessing that we have received in finding Royalview, and now being able to call her our home. Royalview is a 4 year old custom built home that sits on a hilltop, overlooking a beautiful lake.

We invite you to join us, in this new leg of our journey, as we get moved in (official move in date was December 18, 2024), get things fixed up, decorated (inside and out), and also as we get familiar with our new surroundings here, and around our new hometown.

Willie and I are in our early 60’s. Well, Willie is. I will be joining the 60’s club here in January. We have been married for 41 years, and are very excited to be embarking on this adventure together.

Introducing, Royalview:

We are loving the hilltop view of the lake.

We will be sharing a lot more photos of Royalview in upcoming posts, sharing the inside of our home, as well as our backyard area. There are a lot of fun projects coming up, so we hope you’ll come along for all the excitement.

Sincerely,

Johanna and Willie
