My View Today

From the upper deck of our new COTTAGE!!!!

What? I didn't tell you before??

Guess I didn't want to jinx it... : )

It will be our new "Up North Place"

It was a foreclosure... It is HUGE & needs a lot of work...

Today I sat & waited for all the inspectors to come thru...

just for our peace of mind that the structure is fine....

All is good.... : ) 

So guess what I will be doing for the next few months??

2500 sq. ft of painting, flooring.....

I think it will be fun???

On the Road Again...

   
         My up close & personal encounter with 

                               Bruce.... THE MOOSE!!! 

      Since my last post I have traveled from one end
         of the country to the other... well almost...
      
          Been in New York.... then Colorado....
   And Up north here in Michigan, on the weekends
                     we have been home.
 
                While in Colorado I met Bruce

                    
      We were near Buena Vista at Frontier Ranch, a Young Life camp. We were there to participate in a work week. Each night between dinner & Worship, we had about an hour... husband & son took showers & naps, so DIL & I decided to take a short drive...
   We drove to an old Ghost town nearby...
                                 St. Elmo

                                  There was absolutely no one around

And we came across Bruce....

        We followed him around town until it started to get dark... about 45 min. (we missed worship that night : )
   When we told some folks who live there, they did not believe us until we showed our proof... they said,  
    "Can't be, there are no moose near here"
    Well, we encountered the one lone Moose....
 who must have wandered his way down from Montana.... just to give us a thrill....
  
      Now I am off to a week of fancy schmancy dinners in Washington DC.... Where they say it will be HOT, HOT, HOT.... from 2 ft. of snow in Colorado.... : )
