Biting the Bullet

Well, we did it. We bit the bullet and are now the proud owners of a cozy little piece of property nestled at the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. (The mountains are to the north of us and our lot faces east, so it's not a mountain view, but this particular lot was our favorite.) My husband and I had traveled up to South Carolina to look at some properties that we might like to retire on and fell in love with the area.

We won't be doing anything with the property for ten or twelve years, but we are both really excited about living there when the time comes. Only thing is, the biggest form of entertainment (aside from water sports) is golf. So, looks like I'll have to learn the game. Still, I'm going to wait until all the kids are out of the house before I take something like that on. So, I have some time, yet.

In the meanwhile, I have this book I'm supposed to be writing ...

Have a great weekend.

Deeanne said...: Me, too!! Though I don't think my pond will have mama and baby deer playing chase around it the way yours does--nor will it have dinosaur eggs. ;-)
Barb said...: I always thought whacking those little golf balls around could be a great stress reliever. Pow! Take that! Tho maybe in retirement you won't have any stress?!
Meg said...: What a beautiful spot! We rode through a corner of South Carolina last weekend, somewhere along the Chatooga River, and we loved it.
Tiff/Amber Miller said...: Oh, that's gorgeous! Reminds me of home in the Shenandoah Valley. How I miss that area. Although it's the roots of my family, you just can't take the country out of the girl. :)

Congrats on the purchase. We've got a timeshare in the Shenandoah Valley and go every year. Scenic views and peaceful surroundings. Great for getting some serious writing done! Inspired by God's beautiful country.
