November 14, 2007: Long day…

  Wellllll today started out about 6 a.m.  I had to take my mother to the dentist.  Then it was off the Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.  We visited about 8 different sites.  In the end we didn’t find what we were looking for.  We found some nice views.  One house was too expensive – $850,000.  If I am going to spend that much money on a house I would just build what I want!  lol  So we didn’t have any luck today.

  We did have some ummm backroads to take in order to find some of the properties.  Tony was our driver and did a great job.  We thought we were going to have to kick the four-wheel drive into gear a few times.  We never did get stuck though!

  I am not sure when we are going out again.  It might be awhile.  Holidays are almost here…we are taking a break.  Ashcreek should be up for sale in about 2 weeks.  Hopefully not much longer than that.  We shall see!

  It is sort of weird living at the apartment here.  It is so small.  I think I forgot what it was like to live in a small apartment.  It has been awhile.  I think it is probably harder because the house had so much space.  So we are adjusting to the differences.  Daisy seems to be adjusting well.  She hasn’t complained at least.

  We had a lot of heavy rain today across the region.  We ran into several heavy thunderstorms on the Purchase Parkway.  Beautiful trees though with orange and yellow leaves blowing through the air.  Pretty cool!

Some pictures from our adventures this afternoon.

We managed to make our way through this area

Tony got us lost.  Well okay so maybe it wasn’t Tony.  Something like that.

  We did have a lot of fun today looking for land and houses.  We ended up eating at Crackle Barrel.  We actually went to the Iron Kettle but didn’t care for what they had on the menu – buffet.  So then we went to Pattie’s and ended up a C.B.  🙂  A plate of Roast Beef later and I was happy.

  They are turning on the internet tomorrow – along with the phone and cable.  Exciting!  Jason is also coming and hooking up one of my antennas so I can talk to McCracken County in case of severe weather.
