Hear Ye! Hear Ye! I present to you our neighbors...

Some of you who read my blog have been to our place in the Atlanta burbs, and some of you have not, needless to say I thought it was time to share with all a picture of our neighbors to the southwest of us. Yes, your eyes are correct, IT IS a castle, the property borders the back corner of our lot and is visible from the upstairs back windows. Jay seems to think the cast the crew of the show 'Dragontales' lives here, but I have yet to see Zack and Weezie appear from this structure. We have never met the people who live here, but have been told that it is a somewhat elderly gentleman who built this "dream home" for his wife, who also still lives here. There is a moat surrounding the castle that serves as the pool and the garage doors are the bridges that come down over the moat. I have seen cars inside the garage in the rear and people do occassionally emerge from the castle to sit on various benches peppered about the property. The castle is complete with gnomes and a mini "poolhouse castle" not visible in this photo. To us it serves as a landmark to tell people where we live, even far north in the land of the burbs, everyone we have talked to about this castle knows it and exactly where we are located. You can just imagine how many cars we see pull over to see the castle, take pictures of the castle, etc. Our favorite was one night last summer a wedding reception was held on the far lawn, we benefitted by listening to a live band from our back porch. And so it seems, fairy tales do come true just once in a while... who knew.
