Howdie Ya'll, It has been a busy few weeks with wet, foggy, sleeting weather to boot. We are both excited because we have decided to relocate to North Dakota, (yes, we know how cold it can get). Pete has 5 months work already scheduled and there is a carpenter / Contractor shortage in that area due to the recent oil boom and resulting housing shortage. CA home building hit the wall about two years ago with no resurgence in sight so we figure we will make a go of it there and see what God has planned for us. We put our house on the "For Sale" block and have been moving at lightning speed to have it ready for showing. So far 2 buyers have been through.

North Dakota news...

As most of you know we have moved to Williston, North Dakota. We departed CA on May 27th, after a few mishaps with the towing arrangement. This was our covered wagon train. We spent the first evening in the desert, just north of Las Vegas. We enjoy desert camping and this would be our last chance to experience the desert until ??? Three more days of cross country travel brought us into ND on May 30th. We are currently staying with the Sime family; Leon & Laurali, Jenna, Kaelyn & Lacy.

A really classy, comfortable place with locations in the upper west plains areas. The next day we returned to Williston and spotted this old, abandonde...

It's Autumn

Hello All! Autumn is here and we continue to both be employed,  Holly @ Trinity Christian School, (year #2)  & Pete is @ the City of Prescott. We have completed some home remodel projects through the summer. Here are a few pictures;  Our Guest Bedroom! We did the flooring ourselves :) Our Guest bathroom is getting new tile. Pete continues to work on it. Our new fence.  This completed fencing in the yard so the dogs can run free in it.  The digging was tough work,  rocks, hard clay & 63 bags of concrete,  but we finally completed it.  AZ had a record year of rain. Afterwards the sunsets are just beautiful.  Holly is on "Commission" by her school to do some art work for their new library. This is her first completed piece.  Holly is getting ready for her Theatre classes Fall "Cafe Night" production. Pete has been bowhunting in th...
