Going to build a new home on 105 acres we own right where Floyd and Carroll counties meet just off Buffalo Mountain road.

Which means looking at floor plans, model homes and builder samples — lots of them.

First we go to Galax to look at a model. Have to be there by 2 p.m. Then off to Mt. Airy to look at another. Over lunch, Amy finds another model in a brochure and says we just have to see it — in Lexington (North Carolina, not Virginia). By the time we finish house looking, we’re less than 60 miles from South Carolina.

Got back home late — really late.

But will start looking again — early the next day.
