Favorite Place to eat: My current favorite place to eat is Travinia in The Shops at Stonefield.
Favorite thing about C’ville/Albemarle: The mountains are my favorite thing about this area. The Blue Ridge Mountains are always beautiful, uplifting, and elevating to me. I never take them for granted and I enjoy seeing them every day.
Favorite Southern Development Floor Plan: I live in a Linden so of course I am partial to them. My favorite Single Family house is the Savannah II.
Favorite Thing to do around the Holidays: My favorite thing to do at Christmas is to decorate my tree. No matter where I live I have my ornament collection that dates back to 1909 when my grandmother had her first tree. There is nothing precious financially about my collection but it contains 4 generations of love and memories. Besides my grandmother’s ornaments, some of my favorites are toys cut off of my children’s mobiles, Fisher Price key rings, and the ribbons from my granddaughter’s baby shower. My Christmas tree is a place to share the stories of my families lives.
Favorite thing about my home: Frank built it! I’ve had the good fortune to buy a Southern Development Home, then to work for the company and get to know everyone who actually built it. Because I have seen the dedication and commitment of everyone who I work with I love it even more.
Favorite thing about home construction/Sales: Home building is an opportunity to see and experience people moving toward their futures. Although it’s informative to be surrounded by the history of Charlottesville/Albemarle County it’s nice to be around people moving, planning, and building their futures with a new home. I enjoy talking to people about this process in their lives and to figure out if I can help them get what they need to make it happen.
Best thing about working for Southern Development Homes: Everyone who is part of Southern Development is hard working and fun to be around. I feel the co-worker relationships are obvious in the ultimate product of the finished home.
