After meeting about the newel posts we drove by the house to see what was done Friday afternoon. To our delight almost all the exterior siding and trim work was complete and it looks fabulous. As we were walking around the house (since we could not get into our home) our soon to be neighbor, Kevin Baum, poked his head out the back door to say hello. Kevin was nice enough to give us a tour of his home (we kind of forced him into it, really). I think he got more than he bargained for since the kids were with us! Their home is going to be beautiful, that's for sure. Outdoor speakers will provide the perfect party patio, and plans are definitely in the works for a BYO event. They anticipate moving in sometime in mid-March.
We also saw two gentlemen looking at the still-vacant lots just north of the Baum's property. Rumor has it, those lots have sold as one... hopefully they'll be on board for a Boone's Farm Party, too!!
And it would just be wrong, wrong, wrong if we didn't mention meeting one of our younger neighbors, 10 year-old Ray. Ray lives just across the street from our home, and he serenaded us with a little Iron Butterfly on his un-amped guitar. He's a boy of few words, but he made it quite clear that John shouldn't call him "kid," because he's 10 years old and NOT a kid.
Big week coming! We'll keep you posted, of course.
