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 the mountain's south of Flagstaff.
Nothing yet.

Starting to do some Quail hunting with Tess too.





Thank you for all your prayers!

The Trip Up North, which was really South

Image
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

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

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. Pete is going to be building them a new home on their existing 28 acre, rural property. We unloaded our "stuffed" moving truck, (we still left a lot of items behind in CA), and the next day headed to Grand Forks, ND, (nearest dropoff location, 5.5 hrs to the east), and spent the night at the "C'mon Inn", (see above photo). 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
