This morning we are in an ice storm of historic proportions here in Atlanta according to the National weather service. They may be right. This is the view from my upstairs guest bedroom as the sleek hits the window. We are stocked up and ready to spend a few days right here.

atlanta: Village at Deaton Creek - Del Webb 55+ Community Atlanta GA
- 09/27/13 03:57 AM

So why is the Village at Deaton Creek one of my favorite of the 55+ communities in Georgia. … (0 comments)
