James, yes... from our various floors/decks...we overlook the Kentucky hills, hills, hills... over the river with 7 colorful and different geometric bridges to span it... This is house #10 for us and the journey wasn't easy... I am separated from who and what is dear to me in my Yankee homeland... except for my Jim... but oddly, this has been the highlight home of my life... I hate the architecture, the period of the décor, and a thousand picky things... I had to toss a lifetime collection of antiques meant for a home with 7 foot ceilings in this 12 foot behemoth. The house is on a big city hill both side to side and front to back. It is 15 feet by 75 feet and has been a hoot to set up... Sort of a big colorful eclectic bowling alley. Who knew aging could be this fun ? Ya wanna come see some fireworks?
