At the end of the semester in June - Nancy invited two of our professor buddies over to the house for dinner. One is a professor here in town - the other is a law professor in Milwaukee. Anyway - when they got to our house - we had a great dinner - followed by wonderful conversation and ample wine - or is it the other way around. As we sat on the back porch and listened to a big owl in a moss covered live oak tree in our yard - they were surprised at how quiet and "countrylike" it was right in the middle of Tallahassee. We could hear the loons "on golden pond." Our friends were tired of long commutes and decided right there on the porch that they wanted to be our neighbors. Just like Joel and George Dawson scouted out this house for us - we scouted out a home for our two professor buddies. We found a really nice lot for sale about one block away. Here is a picture of the house they are building. It will be done in March and we will have two great neighbors - hand selected. Last night when we took this picture and walked around in the house - right above the bedroom about 40 feet up in a pine tree - was that big old owl.
