imagine the stories those guys could tell
Now I'm trying to remember what all *I* did on that roof that day.
This is a photo of my home from the front entrance
Okay, I'm relying on some college knowledge here (and it's been a long time since college), but isn't that Chateau Blois?
...no. It's actually the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC
It's the largest residential home in the US.
It is a pretty impressive place. I highly recommend going if you are ever in the area. The only downfall is the ticket prices. It's like $60 or something like that. I can go to Disney World for that!!
It is worth doing 1 time though. It's one of those things that you are marveled the entire time you are there.
They produce wine from there now...if anyone is a wine drinker, do you have Biltmore Wine in your area?....when you live in the area of something like The Biltmore House you see it everywhere, so I'm curious how far they reach.

I've been to it once... and have had the wine out here in CO.

I walked out on the salesman today! Did not get the price I wanted... *sigh*
Thanks, Holly!!!!
And don't forget.. car sales are VERY slow right now... they NEED to sell cars more than you need to buy/lease one.
I called the dealership that is closer to me and they have the car I want COMING IN.. not the color But that is okay.. and I will be getting it CLOSER to the price I wanted! Not including a trade in, which I am hoping for at least $5000 for it!

this wasnt addressed to me, but just wanted to say congrats on finding the new car.
trading cars is exciting..isnt it!!..? I love trading, but I'm going to actually keep mine this time and see how it feels to actually pay one off
I have actually had that truck (the one in the photos I posted) for almost 4 years, and I have only put 14,500 miles on it.
I bought mine right off the truck and wouldnt let the garage guy drive it...so I could say I was the only one to ever drive it ...even though there was someone in Detroit that tested it..and someone that drove it onto the truck...but other than those guys/girls, I'm the only one!!

I actually have quite a few pics of the Caribbean, Key West, St. Augustine and a few other places in South Florida on Flickr. Click on the pic if you want to see them.

I have a couple thousand of these photos firmly stored in my mind
The problem is that the ole' brain doesnt send them to the mind quiet as fast as I'd like
every thought I have these days are like stopping at a stop sign...gather the informtion, and then proceed

Okay, so I'm anal... I had to look up Chateau de Blois and figure out why the heck I thought the Biltmore House was Blois... ah ha...Same staircase! (although Chateau de Blois was constructed between the 13th and 17th centuries) Mystery solved.
