Details, Details

In one sense it seems so inconsequential and mundane to talk about the details of building a community or going camping, in light of the terror attacks in London this morning. On the other hand, it is just these mundane things that exemplify our life of freedom in this country, and remind us that building relationships in our communities and our families is the very fabric of freedom. With that in mind, I will pass on a couple of mundane details.

Ashton Woods is planning on starting their models at Highland Groves the first week of August. I will remind you that "it always takes longer and costs more", so I wouldn't place any bets on that, but this is the target.

Morrison Homes is in full swing in building their Highland Groves models, as well as starting the first homes already sold. It all looks like footings and dirt right now, but once it gets going, things change pretty quick.

Ditch Camp 2005 preparations are nearly finished. The groceries are purchased, the sleeping bags packed, and the excitement is mounting. I have to mention at this point that electricity and the internet are in short supply at our campsite; so the Front Porch will be going on a one week hiatus for the next week. No bloggers will be around to chat. I hope to get some good blogable stories while we're up there, though, and I will pass them on when I do.
