Bracing for Wilma

Thinking of the old cartoon, the "Flintstones", the only Wilma I knew was married to Fred. WRONG!! We're batting down the hatches once again although we are well beyond the height of hurricane season. Can moving to the centre of the state be a good thing? We think the hurricane threat will be much less than living so close to the coast.

Here's a picture of our backyard during Frances' wrath last year. Click for a closer view.

We've Got A Roof...sort of??

Moving along quickly in spite of the inclement weather and hurricane warnings!

The Walls Are Rising!!

Our block is now complete. After an inspection, the next step will be our roof. David and I will be visiting Harbor Hills on Saturday, October 29th and hope to see more progress. We'll also be able to watch our grandson Danny from Gainesville play in his first football "bowl" game, scheduled for the same day in the Villages! Looking forward to a great weekend...Click on the picture above for a closer view.

The Birds of Harbor Hills

Birds gather beside the lake near the picturesque sixteenth green at Harbor Hills. It's the toughest Par Three on the course. There is a lake in front of the narrow green, with traps in front and to the right. The winds from nearby Lake Griffin can make this one a real challenge. Click on the picture for a closer view.

We've Got Blocks!!

Concrete blocks were delivered to our lot today, along with bags of mortar. We've very excited to see our lovely new home take shape. Builders say end of December for completion. We're expecting the middle to end of January.
