Oh the places I’ve been all week. This week was supposed to start off slow and steady with drawing at the top of my “to do” list. Everything changed and in a hurry as I’ve had errands and duties 4 of the 5 days this week and a repair man here at the apartment the day I was home.
One of the big changes this week was an unexpected change in our floor plans. I’ve been working on the program “Better Homes & Garden – Home Designer Suite 8.0 ” during my free time and Bobby finished wrapping up all the loose ends around 1:00am this morning.
I can now “almost” officially say the floor plan is FINISHED! Our job this next week is to pick out the windows. We’re pretty much picking out all the stuff we want up front so that the cost of things doesn’t bite us in the end. We’re hoping we can move in by next spring/summer.
After the meeting with our builder today, I drove just about a mile out of my way to visit some of the homes in Historic Downtown. I was hoping to see some fall décor but enjoyed the little tour. Come along with me, won’t you?
We must first Cross the river into Downtown.
On the other side looking back at the bridge we just crossed.
There’s something about this house that makes me think “Hansel and Gretel”.
Quite a charmer with that nice porch out front.
There’s just somethin’ about about this place.
This place had me at hello.
I’m in love with the background.
Green and white with a burst of color.
Sorry for getting the wires crossed.
We went through rain, walked on sunshine and looked at masses of clouds on this crisp 52 degree day. And another thing, someone that saw me snapping pictures asked us (hey, you’re with me remember) “are you with the CIA”? We just didn’t pay any attentention to them and kept right on going. Hope you enjoyed your visit and I hope I didn’t embarrass you too much.
Haha…are you the CIA. That’s funny. As if a CIA agent would be that conspicuous.
I loved your pictures! I think those old houses are so neat…it makes me think of the movie “Meet Me in St. Louis”. When I think I’d like to live in one of them I just have to think about the upkeep and then I feel content where I am 🙂
Wow! What gorgeous houses! I’m in love with the one that has those green shutters. Absolutely beautiful! -Julia
Gorgeous houses and I love all the fall colors, too!

Oh! Stunning…the homes, the trees, the EVERYTHING!!!!
Beautiful photos… I love that photo of the bridge… GORGEOUS!
LOVE these shots!
Talk about a virtual tour of homes! 🙂 Ty for always sharing these with us…
I’m LOVING this post! Those homes are so charming and beautiful.
this southern girl is very grateful for all the pictures you post of Fall leaves!! Also enjoyed those gorgeous homes – you have a great eye.
I’m so excited for you about your floor plan! Do we get some sneak peaks? “-)
So happy you all enjoyed.
Thanks Mary Ellen, did you want to see more rooms that I’m working on or the floor plan.
Don’t you love living in New York this time of year!! I love the pictures of the old houses!
I’d love to see anything else you’ve done since your last post – and I’d love to see your floor plan…but only if you don’t mind showing them.
Thanks Canfield Family – Yes, we truly love it here!
Ok Mary Ellen, but it may take me ’til next weekend to get around to more. I’m still working on picking out windows this week. We need to have these picked out by Friday and it’s amazing with all the overwhelming choices out there. We’ve narrowed down what we want, now we just need to figure out the sizes. Then we’ll be picking out interior doors and the front and side doors as well.
We are having so much fun picking out everything as I’m sure you guys enjoyed doing when you built yours.
Blessings – Debbie
Oh, but we are ever so ready to start! There are times when I feel like it’s never going to get here. And the thought of moving in next spring/summer is so exciting!
