Seeing Zelda Finished

We made another quick trip to Kings Mountain to check on Zelda.  Anna, JoLynns' mom, is spending Christmas with us and wanted to see the finished Zelda as she only saw her during the construction phase.  Needing to pay the property taxes before the end of the year, we headed off to Kings Mountain for the day.

We ate the lunch special at Loves' Fish Box one of our favorite spots to eat in Kings Mountain and as usual we brought a lot of food home.  Brent ran into Shelby to pay the taxes while JoLynn and Anna stayed at Zelda to explore, clean and pick up pecans.  Oh yes, in just a short period of time, two (2) bags of pecans were picked up from just one (1) of the five (5) trees.  This was a great year for pecans at Zelda.

Anna was surprised and impressed with the finish of Zelda and wanted to move-in.  We showed her the proposed downstairs room (The Murphy Room) which would have been her bedroom while visiting.  This would have given her access to a full bathroom and prevented her from going up the stairs all the time.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Anna said she feels like a model and strikes a pose in the family room.

Anna explained to JoLynn that she really likes the black marble foyer floor.

While inspecting the kitchen, Anna was looking for all the food for Christmas dinner.

I hope she is not too disappointed but we are not serving a meal today.  I hope she does not wait there too long.

Anna waits to wash the dishes.  I don't think she knows that none are coming, besides there is a dishwasher.

Still Looks Great

We went by to check on Zelda Sunday afternoon.  The interior looked fantastic and the yard looked great.  We were able to pick up a bag full of pecans as the four (4) pecan trees on the property are in full production.  While inspecting the inside of Zelda, we both wondered out loud why no one has decided to make Zelda their home.  It really looks great.

Nothing New

We did have a couple of serious buyers interested but at this writing still no offer.  Looks like we will make a trip to Zelda on Saturday to check the house out and do some cleaning.
