Weekend Wanderings

Saturday hubby and I had a busy day. Bright and early we headed for the gym and did a cardio workout for half an hour. After that we gathered up our computer paraphernalia and headed for my brother's place to scan and save family pictures for our family Christmas the second Sunday in December. Looking over the old pictures was fun and we scanned in 45 of them. We'll go back another day and get about that many more for the computer presentation at the family Christmas. It's a great way to bring back those who are gone and have fun together laughing at what used to be.

We stopped for lunch in Stratford and then took the drive to Kenilworth to see the Quality Homes factory. Of course we had already seen a couple of models in St. Mary's but we were unprepared for the beauty and grandeur of one of their bigger homes, the Maitland. We are ready for small but went in just to look. What a beauty!

Back to the Ridgestone, though. It presented beautifully with two columns rising from a half wall to the left upon entering the front door. The whole plan is very spacious, yet cosy, reminding us so much of our favorite holiday place, Marriott's Grande Ocean in Hilton Head. We were a little disappointed in the person who was there to answer our questions as sales is not his job and he basically let us do all the talking. Ordinarily that would be fine but we would have liked him to tell us features, possible problems, and many other things. Nevertheless it is a very impressive and professional setup, showing us that modular homes are quite popular and secure.

Our ride back home was most interesting as we had so much to talk about. This next life step of ours is going to be great but it needs lots of research. Well, we're up for it!
