John, I've been reflecting on those beautiful pictures for a couple days trying to find something meaningful to say. Alas, rather than be labeled as disinterested or unappreciative, I will instead inadequately offer my observation that your new home seems like the sort of place I would be very comfortable. I have always been enamored of that type of architecture, particularly that big portico. The notion of covered, outdoor space is important in the north.

I hope you and your family will have many happy years there. Congragulations and best wishes.
