We'll Be In Touch

**for those that keep up - I changed the web address to wellbeintouchblog.blogspot.com** Last weekend we had the best time meeting up with friends in Blowing Rock, NC to go to Tweetsie Railroad!

We were able to find a corner unit WITH a walkout to a back patio in the best little courtyard. We have no one above or below us and lots of big trees around us! We moved in last weekend and while it was a whirlwind, we are SO glad. We're still renting, but we get access to 3 pools, tennis courts, a car wash and we're in walking distance from shops/restaurants.
