Where oh where do I begin? There is so much is going on with our home these days and we are right in the middle of making lots of decisions. I visited with the kitchen cabinet place last week and then hubby went back with me Saturday. The good news is that we have our cabinets all picked out.
I set out today to pick out my kitchen appliances as that’s important for the cabinet place to have all the measurements of appliances so everything fits just so. I think I pretty much have all my kitchen appliances picked out.
I made a little stop at the property while I was in that area and this is what I drove up on.
Here’s a better view of what the builder is working on. The frames are being lifted up, up and away. Can you imagine the time it would take if they had to cart these things up the stairs?
Another view
Here we are going up the road to the back of the little lake out back
This is the view from across the way
And here we drove up the winding path for a birds eye view
As I was leaving the property I noted that I would be passing by hubby’s work around noon so I gave hubby a little jingle to see if he was up for lunch. His words “it would have been a shame if I had missed your call”. He was all about seeing me for lunch so we went downtown for a nice little sit-down and I got to share all the exciting news of the day.
After lunch as we were walking hand in hand towards the car, he pulled me into a little shop that I don’t ever remember being in. The gal behind the counter asked if there was anything she could help us with and hubby replied “my wife likes fudge”. Oh my word, he’s such a dear as he knows what I like indeed.
He made sure I checked it all out to be sure I got just what I wanted.
Does this look amazing or what?
And how about this for a nice treat?
Or these gems
I shoulda got him this little sack of Hunkey Dorey.
In the end I settled on a little square of chocolate fudge and oh what a nice little treat.
The cutest little candy store with my most amazing handsome Hubby making a nice little purchase for me. He made my day meeting me for lunch on short notice.
Your home has the most AMAZING view! I bet you can’t WAIT to live there!
And what a sweetie he is for buying you fudge! That would have won me over, for sure!
Thank you Allana. Someone’s going to have to pinch me as we will have been apartment living (without all our stuff) for two years by the time we actually get to move into our home.
Hi Debbie 🙂
Your home is coming right along! The view you’ll have is amazing.
What a sweet hubby… I’m so glad you two had a nice time 🙂

Either I missed the blog where you showed the view or this is the first time you’ve showed us but I didn’t realize you were right on a lake…wow is that going to be gorgeous! I’m enjoying watching the building progress, so much fun isn’t it?
Thanks Rue.
Mary Ellen – I’ve posted pics of the lake before but never from the other side looking this way. Those little pines in the back still block but they will be removed… We’re lucky as the builder was saving this lot (the last lot available on the lake) for herself. She had many people before us to want this lot but she wouldn’t build. For whatever reason she let us have it and we feel so lucky and blessed to get it.
We are having a lot of fun. We’ve heard so many horror stories building but thank goodness we don’t have any to share (Yet) fingers crossed it remains this fun.
I’m sure I saw them, either I forgot or thought it was alot further away.
That is so cool about your builder letting you have that lot!
Well we had a complicated building project (tear down, leave a little, then build) but I have no horror stories at all! I think the secret is finding a dependable builder you trust and that makes all the difference….sounds like you’ve got one too.
What a FAB location… can’t wait to see more updates!
ENJOY!
