Well we are finally in. Whew!!! We moved in towards the end of September this year 2002. We sold our other house and Katherine really misses the neighbors dog Jack. We are on the same pond just around the corner from our old house. In fact you can see our new house from the old one. So we are still close enough to the Duck Woods Country Club to walk, which is so convenient. So on the backside we are on Duck Woods Pond and in front across Ginguite Trail is Ginguite Bay. So our views are fantastic front and back. The home on the south is my Aunt Winnie and Uncle Lee’s second home. (They live in Richmond) They come down most every weekend. Linda and I worked hard to get the house just the way we wanted it. "Two hearts, one dream." As you can see it is like an old Southern plantation. The pictures in this section are while the home is still under construction. I am waiting for the landscaping to be finished before getting too many more pictures. The first picture is of Katherine and her Nanna in the front yard. You can see the warning signs on the doors informing people to stay out until the finish on the hardwood floors is dry. The next couple pictures are taken earlier in the process. If you look close you can see Katherine standing on the second story front porch. Then Katherine, Michael, Alex and I are relaxing on the second story screen porch or as they say in many parts of the South the “sleeping porch”. It opens from the master bedroom. The last picture was taken on Aunt Winnie and Uncle Lee’s front porch. You can see our house under construction in the background. I will have more pictures after the landscaping is in.
