Beginning of Fall

September 28, 2007

I can't believe that fall is here already. It seems like yesterday that we bought this place (No Mistake) and began our work. My wife and I and another couple bought an old plantation home and a little over 100 acres to begin building a retreat/bed and breakfast/ intentional community. We are getting close to being half-way done with the construction. We are building two rental cottages - one that sleeps several (up to 16-20) and one that is smaller as well as the plantation house which is for rent with four bedroom with several in each room. The place has been here for about 170 years. The highlight to me of the construction is the celtic chapel that we are building. It is going to be fine. And we will use it for many things - for our community life, for church and also for weddings and other events (retreats, etc.)

It can be taxing and trying at times. We have two young children - one being a little over 1 ( I can't always remember the "months" - I think that is a women thing) and the other being 4 - plus we are basically building 5 houses and a chapel - and I have always wondered how persons building just one house did it.

But fall is here - our houses - mine and Joe's (my partner in the business) should be done in about a month. Hopefully in time to enjoy raising our windows and enjoying the fall air. I love that!! It is one of my favorite things to do. Fall is going to be awesome and hopefully this spring we will open!!!
