The Lake House at Lavonia - June 2018

After months and months of work to put their Florida house on the market and searching for a home in Georgia, my brother Bobby and sister in law Valerie were finally able to make it all happen.  They found a house on Lake Hartwell in Lavonia that they loved and was virtually move-in ready.  Their house in Largo sold within two weeks of the For Sale sign being put up.  And miraculously, both closings took place on the same day, June 15th.   That weekend, we helped them move in, joined by niece Jenna and her friend Mark.

Bobby was able to get the U-Haul almost to the front door which made it quite a bit easier to unload.

Bob the Builder was put to work while Valerie opened the packing crates that Bobby, Jenna, and Mark unloaded.  In addition to being the designated photographer of this epic event,  I was also enlisted to clean and volunteered to cater the meals for Friday and Saturday.

 

Bobby and Jenna take a moment to rest their backs and decide what needs to be done next....

while Bob and Mark take a breather.

This stunning fireplace was one of the house's features that made it irresistible. 

As did the lake access seen from their back deck...

...the privacy, solitude, and visitors.
