Catching Up On The House

Greetings!
After looking back at previous posts and how I ended them so abruptly prior to us moving back into 713 East Paces Ferry (EPF), I realized that I never provided the satisfaction of a finished product for all of my fans and followers! (Snark)
I'll start with a couple pictures from earlier this year, which give you a good idea of what the house looks like under normal circumstances.

This wide shot gives you a decent look at the house when the lawn is mowed and the front privet shrubs are pruned relatively well. It's a much different look than before and a whole lot more room!

Here's a close up look at Chez Fors. The spacious front porch is obviously a wonderful addition aesthetically and we do enjoy hanging out there with friends and family on occasion. Especially in the morning on weekends or in the evening after dinner with a "mild libation." Another one of my favorite activities is to go out and sit in one of our rocking chairs with our dog Charlie and enjoy a good Summer thunderstorm. Just the other day we were out there during a rocker of a storm when a bolt of lighting hit really close to the house, so the thunder was immediate. Charlie took one look at me, got up and walked inside. He'd seen and heard enough on that day. LOL!

Here are a few images of the Fors' Folly on EPF during the splendor of a snowy winter wonderland. The above picture was taken in December of 2017, just days before we were to head to Australia for a few weeks. Atlanta got hit with an earlier-than-usual snowfall that year and it provided for a wonderful backdrop for us to "Get the Hell out of Dodge" and head Down Under.

Grace and our former neighbors, of course, took the rare opportunity to enjoy the cold and wet snowfall to have the obligatory snowball fight and then get down to business to build a snowman. Cue the Frozen movie soundtrack ("Do you want to build a snowman?"). That's the next door neighbors' house in the background, not ours.

Finally, a quiet and serene vista of Chez 713 with its fresh blanket of snow on the ground. I snuck this photo before the kids got to it and shredded up the snow with sleds and out-of-control, frantic gloved hands trying to pack snowballs together.
I know it's ONLY been 4 1/2 years to get these pictures of the finished product up there, so I hope the wait wasn't TOO anticlimactic. :-)
