Driveway rocked and ready.

Footers dug.

Footers poured!

This weekend they will be doing the block work for the foundation and basement. Soon–framing!!! Sooooo cool!!! Want a sneak peek at the plans? Go here. We’re building it with a walk-out basement to provide extra square footage for bedrooms and storage.

Free Book Friday–another September Silhouette Romantic Suspense release, Shadow Whispers by Linda Conrad. Drop a note to be in the running.

Wow Suzanne, the house is going to be great when they get it finished. Are you going to do any flower beds around the house or flowering bushes? As for the book drawing, don’t enter me. I have it already, and guys, it is really good if you like indian romance. I would recommend Linda Conrad’s entire Night Guardians series. :thumbsup: Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Leanne, I definitely want lots of flowering stuff around the house! I love flowers, love lots of color. I want to do a little herb garden near the house, too. The vegetable garden will be down in the meadow so I want a kitchen garden!

Anyone who couldn’t be happy in that house has serious problems. :sick: I am sure you and the children will be very happy there. I am almost envious as I live in a mobile home and don’t have a beautiful porch like that. :wall: Everyone have a great week-end and to all.
PS: I want to be in the drawing, please. :mrgreen:

The driveway view is so cool! We live in the country, but right on the road. I wish we had a drive like that. I can’t wait to see the finished dwelling, so I know you can’t!

Wow, fabulous, Suzanne! I’d be ready now too, if I were you.

I hope it comes in on time and on budget! (Uh, does anything? Ha!)

Have a great weekend, everyone. And as I have Linda Conrad’s Night Guardian series, please do not enter me in the draw.

Cheers.

How wonderful, Suzanne! I have porch-envy.

Please don’t enter me in the draw; I have Linda Conrad’s Night Guardian series.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

P.S. Sorry if this double-posts; I seem to have having problem at home with the super-slow dial-up.

I don’t know how you can possibly be getting any writing done, Suzanne. This way too dang cool! It would be consuming every moment of my energy. Um … now about a guest room in those plans …

How exciting! And it’s a real southern farmhouse . . . just like in the books I’ve read that are set in the south. Beautiful . . . how can you wait?
