Welcome to our blog

This blog will be about our new home: picking it out, building it . . . and eventually . . . things going on in our new house. This blog is also intended to keep me from driving everybody crazy talking about the house. Do you think it will work? Derek has already added a picture to show the current state of home. This week they . . . leveled out the dirt. Woo-hoo. Progress has been made! So he took a picture of it.

Our blog is called "Johnson's Meeting House" because our new house will be on "Meeting House Lane." I think they were trying to evoke the idea of a community, maybe a town hall meeting. But the two meanings of meeting house I am familiar with are: a tavern, and a Quaker church. Hmmmmm. Probably not quite what they had in mind. Can we have an alcohol-free tavern? Maybe we should put a dart board in the garage? Derek has already threatened to put up posters of muscle cars and bikini babes in the garage. Of course, if you know Derek, you know he was kidding.
