New Home Sales

    Yesterday we took advantage of the beautiful Indian Summer weather that we have been having for the last week and drove out into the country.  Actually, because we are nearly on the edge of town, the country is close by.  There are still some trees with fall colors.  Still some fall flowers to enjoy as well.
   We stopped by the TMK Creamery, a small family-run operation that is just in it's infancy.  They have enough cows to produce milk to make a couple of types of cheese both of which were very good.  We will return another day when that cheese is in stock to purchase.  We did taste some yummy cheese curds.  Have you tried deep fried cheese curds?  Zowie !  tmkcreamery.com

   We next drove to Bauman's Farm and Garden just south of Woodburn.  Lots of flowers, decorations, and produce to enjoy.  Left with a small succulent plant to pot.  baumanfarms.com

   On the way home we decided to stop by a new housing development in Canby. The builder is Lennar Homes.  The model homes were quite nice, one was two story and one was single story.  It seemed like all the other new home areas until we meet the sales representative.  Lennar has started building homes in one corner of the prepared area and will work their way from one end to the other. The whole development has been laid out and each lot has an assigned home style.  So if you want a particular floor plan, you have to buy that house on the lot that has been assigned to it.  Also, and listen to this, you can not buy that house until it is built.  You can put your name on a list for that property and when it is ready Lennar will tell you the price.   So if you want a particular house in the far side of the area, you may have to wait for a year or two !  Can you imagine?  If that wasn't enough, the interior fittings are already decided right now.  So this is the carpet. This is the counter top.  Seems like it would be a hard to be a sales person for Lennar Homes.  They must be salaried.
