A piece of undeveloped real estate, in the form of a page from a 1927 Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary, caught my attention back in May and I set about making some preliminary improvements.
A short while later I decided to subdivide the property into five narrow lots with the intent to develop them all further, making each distinct from the others but keeping all five cohesive in toto.
I finished up the fifth tract today!

Giving a lot of thoughts about "real estate*
As in substrate real estate.lots of roads to take!
SO many roads to take every time I have new real estate to develop! Thanks for traveling the highways and byways with me, Carol.
Haha. LOVE them all. Mom's in Real Estate, so I laughed all the way through this post. Thank you Dotty for sharing your JOY :)
I'm smiling in return at your appreciation of my real estate metaphor in this post. I thought of some bona fide real estate in Maine as I was writing b/c friends of ours looked at dozens of lots when seeking a retirement home and a great number had a long skinny shape to allow for each lot to get a water view and one short end without any one's greedily grabbing up a disproportionate amount of coastline!
