Deja Vu all over again?


We just came through the "Ice Storm to Remember". 

Thank God that no one & no buildings were damaged, (just a downed section of fencing).


 We now have lots of clean-up & the driveway's are covered with 1" of solid ice. The day of the storm, the temps were hovering at just above freezing, then as the sleet / rain began to cease, the temps started dropping and we are now in the mid teens. BURRRRRRRRRR!


Some of the aftermath is quite beautiful!







Limbs encapsulated by water.





Icicle's galore!









Tess saw a chance to "explore"



Heavy limbs, but no damage as yet.



A limb & a Cedar tree block the camps driveway!




Here is the newest skating rink!



The "escape pod" is inaccessible at the moment.




We were in another "Ice Storm" in North Dakota, April 2011. 
They seem to follow us around.


Our packing continues,

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

The Trip Up North, which was really South

First we had to put all of this....... Into this moving van. The loading of the moving van went pretty well. We were delayed a bit the next morning with finishing up, but not too badly. Our first major destination was Sheffield Iowa to visit the farm and town where Holly's father grew up. Downtown Sheffield, where "Frankie" was the terror of the town. This is the farm house and one of the barns of the famous family farm. The family that now lives and farms the place were super friendly and invited us in for the evening. We enjoyed a great conversation over chocolate cake with red rasberry sauce made from berries grown on the farm. MMM Delicious. The town was surrounded by corn fields, in fact the whole state was surrounded by corn fields. Many a small child has been lost in these fields. They eventually are found, and the only damage done is they suffer from a desire to tell really corny jokes the rest of their lives. I am clearly a decendant of a child lost in co

2/15 - 3/7/2010

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. We also have been working on the Bailey Meadows Cabin to prepare it for sale. We have FINALLY completed sanding the floors and sealing them, (Pix will be on next post), and painting, replacing doors, completing siding, etc, etc, etc... Now we are deciding what to sell, give away, or take with us as we plan to load up the
