Cypress Ridge

My parents bought some land in my hometown, the proclaimed "Best Place on Earth."  They are tearing down an existing old farm house and building a new house with a pond and trails, even paddle boats have been discussed, you know for the grandkids. Camp GrAnna and Grandad will be in full operation Summer 2013.  You could call this their pre-post retirement project.

It is less than a mile from the first house they built 39 years ago: the house I grew up in, the only house i have known them in, the house that holds all the memories.  My bedroom has always been down the hall the last one on the left.  I am preparing myself now for the move.and.the.packing.  Our family is no stranger to the moving business, but that is moving other peoples memories, NOT 39 years-three-children-one-grandchild-15-years-of-trophies-every-closet-is-the-house-is-full moving.  Oh I can hear the small town talk now......

It has been fun to hear them talk, plan, and discuss their vision for Cypress Ridge.  I hope to get some pictures from when they first purchased the land because they have already done A LOT of work.  My Dad loves a good project and progress he has made on this project is incredible 

This past weekend the existing house was torn down:

Right now the plan is to keep the old barn.  I love it.

I can't wait to see all the progress in person!
