Last Friday, Silas came to school with exciting news. He said Dante’s father had called and told them he’d bought them a wedding gift. Silas said they thought he was probably trying to make up for having been such a jerk-wad when he first learned they were getting married. Anyway, it’s 12 acres of land on top of the highest peak in our area. On Saturday, Dante, Silas, Ben, Jim, Alex, Nathan and I went to have a look. It’s heavily wooded, undeveloped and has the most spectacular view of Table Rock lake you could imagine. There’s no lake access but the property is less than a half mile from our “queers nest.”
It’s an exciting, remote location for a home and the guys are really excited about it. At Jim’s suggestion, the first thing they’re going to do is try drilling a water well. If they find good, potable water they plan to get with Alex and the architect who designed Ty and Damien’s home to get a home building project underway. Nathan and his guys will do the building, of course… and Alex will assist with the design and handle the decorating.
We’re excited for Silas and Dante and, as Ben says, “You can never have enough good neighbors” 🙂
