This is a blog about everyday life of my experience as a work from home, Mom and Grandmother. Comments, advice and opinions are greatly appreciated. My days take me from 7AM ice Hockey games to 9PM Competition Cheer practice, sometimes I go from working in the office at Szczerba Excavating to flying with our son in the latest plane he's rented. It's about real life and the struggles of busy Moms. I will be featuring small businesses I admire.

Visiting ’Stepford Village’
Visiting ’Stepford Village’ in S. Carolina
I am wondering about some of the 'model towns' that exist. We looked at a house that was for sale in one (S.C). It was the strangest place we ever saw. It looked more like a doll house village. The houses were all pristine and perfect with no one outside playing or taking care of lawns etc. We were told that they have their own schools and the whole place is self contained. The one small street which was supposed to be the center of town, was too perfect to be normal.
They said that people only drive golf carts etc. although there were a few cars parked in town and we were allowed to visit. We stopped at a small coffee shop and when we walked in the whole place turned to look at us. Out of curiosity, I went two doors down to the 'book store' with my young grandson. When we stepped through the door everyone sitting in the story circle, turned in one smooth motion to look at us. Every child was dressed like they stepped out of a magazine, as did every adult. We went back outside and a golf cart of 'teenagers' pulled up along the curb. They were also dressed like they stepped out of a magazine. They acted nothing like normal teenagers. They spoke quietly and all kind of moved as one unit and sat down politely at a sidewalk table.
Back at the Model Home, I walked my grandson over to the playground, (no kids there) and all of a sudden a man and his wife and two perfect children came through the gate from the pool area. The wife immediately started to apologize for not being dressed, they were still in their swim suits, but the wife and daughter had cover ups on. She was so flustered at seeing us, I tried to calm her down and said it was absolutely fine. She and I moved over to chat while the kids got on the playground equipment. Her husband hovered over us every where we moved trying to hear what we were talking about. Very strange.
We never saw a garbage can or a toy or a pet or even a blade of grass out of place. The real estate lady seemed to be discouraging us from buying there. I still get the creeps when I think of it, I've always wished I could have let the 'wife' write a message secretly . I have called it "Stepford Village" ever since. If you have seen the movie, you will know what I mean. Since I have seen one other movie similar to this place. Yes, it was definitely a Stepford Village.
