Where, oh where, has this Blog been? It's been so long since my last blog....all of February....no word to our visitors on what's been going on. It's not for lack of information....it's for lack of TIME! We are BUSY!!!We completed the Final Design and Blueprints for our HarborLight Model, with 3 bedrooms/3 baths (2 bedrooms which are each Master Suites), and a 2-car garage. This concept was inspired by our trip to the National Association of Retirement Communities' annual meeting in November 2007. There they described the ideal home design living concept for many of us "Boomers". So we scrapped our previous ideas for this 4th and last of our Model homes, and ..... voila....our most unique floor plan is born!
We've broken ground on all 4 of our Models, and piled our Sales Trailer high with our new brochures, community site plan maps, floor plans, flyers, envelopes, mailers, stationery, coozies (a holder for that cold drink on a hot day).
We've been answering inquiries, phone calls, emails and visits from hundreds of interested buyers from all over the country who can't believe our affordable price points for a brand new home. Not bad with our having run just one ad in one publication!! We'll be in the AARP journal in April-May so it's a good thing we're geared up and ready to go.
We've been welcoming many new friends to see the property and have a cup of joe with us at the Sales Trailer (our home until the Models are built out by May). We've toured folks around our quaint Forgotten Coast area and broken bread with them at a variety of local haunts. We've had several visitors "Be Our Guest".
My "Judy-Mobile" is charged up and running. This 6-seater golf cart serves as my chariot to roll down Tallahassee Street (Hwy 67) to the Carrabelle Junction Cafe for a morning latte, or to take our visitors around to the back of the property to see the first blocks we're going to be building out homes on come mid-July.
Indulge me. Here's a picture of my close friend, Abe, and me at a family reunion in Vermont in August after we'd just come from a tour of the Ben & Jerry's factory.....and had the most awesome flavor, "Bananas on the Rum". (I had wanted to use a picture of me in this hat as my 'SeaSide Village Developer' photo, but Pinki didn't think it was suitable...so I get to put it here!) Great reason to have my own Blog!!
