Our New Place in the Woods
In March 2003, we became landowners for the first time!    On the pages that follow, you can read the story of how it all came about, how we got moved, and what happened after we moved onto our new property.   It was not exactly a dream come true at first---but I shouldn't spoil the story!    Though eventually we did reach the point where we could build an addition to our home, which addition is currently still under construction.

The first link will take you through the year 2003.   The second link will take you through a series of pictures showing the changes that occurred in 2003.

The third link will take you through our addition building project.   The fourth link will take you through a series of pictures of that building project.

The pages in each series are linked chronologically.   But in case you have to stop somewhere in the middle of the stories or the pictures, I am putting individual links from this index to each page, so you can easily return to where you left off.

Please bear with me, as this is still all in process.   Check back in a few months, as it's taking me a while to get this done.   :)
