Home Owners

It's official. Joy and I closed Friday on the house we were hoping to buy. We are officially the owners of the house on Skokorat Road. I had to leave my painting class at the university to sign the papers and then return to finish the class. My fellow professors came in my class and congratulated me, and gave Joy and I a bottle of champagne. Pretty nice (and embarrassing). I took a few photos of the outside of the house.


We also own the section of land to the left of the stone wall pictured here.


This is a shot from the back of the property. There is a circular driveway. The potting shed is on the right. This is the area we are planning on putting my studio. Either extending the garage or tearing the potting shed down and building a separate structure there. Dad gave us a generous gift towards the building of the studio so I'm going to call it the Gene Joseph Wing when we finish it.

There is really nice light that shines towards the front of the house in the afternoon.


This is our cat, Chiara, (italian for light) with her "you're moving me where?" look.

We're really excited about the place and would love for any of you to visit if you're in this neck of the woods.

  1. I know both you and Joy are going to enjoy your beautiful historic home. It looks so inviting with the autumn leaves and stonewall fence. You definitely have enough room and lots of land to enjoy owning a weiner dog now. You've wanted one for a long time. I can just see it running and sniffing all the good smells on the spacious yards you have. Just remember it is not good for them to run up and down stairs as it messes up their backs. I can imagine seeing a beagle at your home as well. A beagle kind of goes with the look of your house. Then of course if you dig a pond you could enjoy a couple of geese too. You could be a Gentleman farmer like your father! Dad
