Had no idea there was so much documentation and got my question answered while digging through the archives. <br /><br />Really nice and I appreciate the time and effort it took, and takes, to keep this blog updated.<br /><br />A true inspiration, especially for others who are looking to buy in the area.<br /><br />I'm only an 8-hour drive from there and this makes me want to come down and check things out for myself.<br /><br />Thanks, again, for the work you put into this blog.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959958583152643760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-8057193064990915182011-03-25T08:30:07.693-05:002011-03-25T08:30:07.693-05:00Bill will be beautiful when he grows up!
