Our gravel driveway is ready and if everyone could please park there for drop offs and pick it ups we would greatly appreciate it . Please refrain from parking on the grass as we are trying to put in another pasture area for the ponies . I will have a sign posted for everyone. (By the mail box in the gravel driveway way 2 cars x2 and use the circle drive for exiting) Thank you for your patience and understanding during this ridiculously long construction . Please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have .
