After a three year search, in June, 2005 we finally bought our beautiful piece of heaven on earth in upstate New York. Clearing the land was a family affair, with help from Mema, Pop, JJ, Andrew, Jessica, Cathy and grandson Tyler. Kerri and Olivia helped with the layout of the house and sister-in-law Karen Z with great grand Phyllis helped with the surveying. By August we began construction.
