We wanted to see the city – we had visited once before but mainly at the Biltmore!
One of our stops while walking was the BASILICA of SAINT LAWRENCE – a Roman Catholic church!
It has a huge rotunda – free standing – and is quite beautiful – worth the walk-in and see!
Many stores we went into or walked past – walking the streets was easy – crossing the streets was also – it seemed once you pushed the crossing light – it was quick!
We chose this place for lunch and were surprised – I had a salad with salmon that was very good – it is a large beer garden and service was excellent!
Walking Ashville, N.C. – we ventured forth numerous times –
Pinball where for $13.00 you could play all day – a Comedy tour on a bus of all of Ashville –
We had a great time – and a tour of Seira Nevada Brewery!

Our friends of years and years – bought this lot just outside Edenton, N.C. – at the far end is a canal and access to the bay.
On the far side of the bay – is the Outer Banks. The canal is 800 feet straight back.
Looking across the bay to the Outer Banks – this view is less than a half mile to their lot.
A dream coming true in a little over 1 1/2 years when Dottie retires and construction begins on their dream home.
Right across from their lot sits the number two hole – a par three! I see lots of sitting on the front porch watching the golfers trying to hit the green!
View back up the road to their building lot from the yard at the clubhouse – golfing with a view and boat access to the bay!
Dottie gazing out over the bay to the Outer Banks – her dream coming true – I envision walks here with chairs in the early evening!

PAPA’S WORLD – BUILDING A DREAM NEAR EDENTON – GOLF COURSE – AND BAY – OUR FRIENDS – THE BROWNS.
As the day begins at the condo – the build of our new home begins some six-teen miles away – in Cameron Woods at Ocean Isle Beach – N.C. We searched and searched – but all in vain as the cost to buy was equal or more than to build what we wanted!
Our view here I shall always remember – in all we will be here for nine months!
I captured this shot as a flock of geese were coming right at me before
rising up over the lanai and roof.
We decided to build – that way we would have everything we wanted
A single story – no stairs – covered front porch – screened in covered lanai.
Close to the beach ( four miles) in the country!
Close to golfing ( over 20 courses near by)
And with in 6 1/2 hours to travel back home
or family to travel here!
Materials for the new home – ground is ready – all utilities in and inspected – waiting for pour of concrete!Forms and moisture barrierSome view in one direction of neighborhood – I think in total maybe fifty homes will be here.When done – a two car garage with pull down stairs and finished storage overhead.
We will have around 1900 sf. of heated space –
in addition to a 140 sf covered and screened in lanai
and a open 10 x 14 concrete patio.
There will be a covered front porch
and views of the neighborhood.
The back will be woods with no one building there
as it will be a conservation area.
We will be four miles to Ocean Isle Beach and six miles to Sunset Beach
A thirty minute drive back to North Myrtle Beach
and a fifthteen minute drive to Calabash
and a fifthteen minute drive to Shallotte.
All this in the middle of some twenty golf courses we will be playing!
The concrete is poured – and rain is now slowing up everything!
But – all the inspections have been completed
and our contractor calls us every Monday to give updates
and answer any questions!
The forms are out – concrete is in – framing will be next!View of the garage and the woods behind the new build.
We drive over every Sunday – no one is working!
That way – if it is not raining – we can get out and look it over!
This will be our third house together building.
All three were unique and we have input on all of them.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
