overview from gazebo. stunning view. I would sit atop this hill and read among the trees and plants there and enjoy every minute of it.

Such an enjoyable day. loved every bit of this adventure. We went to the store, the furniture shop, the pottery barn and watched her make a bowl and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the pottery, was exquisite. We also took a horse drawn hayride with 2 men from the community, 1 to drive the horses, and 1 to talk and tell us all we were seeing on this property. Was good to see Lori Walker and her daughter Barb. I had worked with Lori at Apex but had not seen her since she moved to TX a year or so ago. Nice to catch up. Overall a great day!!
