Out of Touch?

Maybe it's just me, but I was really floored by this ad that came in today's paper. It was a really glossy 12"x12" add that folded out and was advertising a new housing development in Heber City. This development, Red Ledges, is located on the new Jack Nicklaus golf course. "Homesites start in the mid-$200s and Cottages from the low $900s." The "Cottages" (love that word... cottages!) feature native stone, hand-hewn timber, copper gutters (don't want to polish those!), and expansive decks. The interiors "welcome" with hardwood and natural stone floors, granite countertops, fireplaces, and "of course, dramatically large energy efficient windows". I love the description. But what really gets me is that if you buy one of these "Cottages", "every home comes with a NEW Mercedes-Benz"! Hahahaha! That is so funny! Seriously, the ad states "Purchase a homesite or Cottage at Red Ledges and we'll thrown in a Mercedes-Benz for your driveway". That is insane! Evidently, with our 1993 Toyota Pick-up and 2002 Chevy Prizm, we would not be welcome in this new neighborhood. Oh, and if the Mercedes is not your taste, you could choose $95,000 in furnishings instead. Interested? Well, check out www.RedLedges.com for more details. See you there... not!

You'll be more welcome than we are. We also have a 93 Toyota pickup, but our Daewoo is only a 99.

I wonder why we didn't get that ad in our paper.

Can't wait to be your neighbor!
