Recent Visitors to our Cabin
Recently in the mountains...
We were honored to be invited to a Super Bowl Party in Ocate, NM.
Not your typical Super Bowl Party!
We enjoyed the game with our friends in their hunting lodge at Moleski Camp. I must admit that it was an unusual place to go for Super Bowl Sunday. It was really fun and we enjoyed the game with lots of people who were there to actually watch the game and munch on fabulous food. Our team won and that was a bonus! Thank you again to the Moleskis for their incredible hospitality.
What we do on a snowy day....
It was a beautiful snowy day in the mountains.
And here it is!
East bedroom almost done.
West bedroom completed.
We love the new flooring!
Come see it!

Happy New Year!
We arrived home on New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year!
We hiked down the 4-wheeler trail to the fort project.
Enjoying being outside with our family.
Cory, Christi and our three grandsons were here and had the snow plowed and the cabin warm for us.
Slash was positioned for a controlled burn that is best done in snow.
Brock kept the Blue Jays fed.
The little Polaris was retrieved from the garage.
It was fun to attach a sled to it.
Brock learned the operation of the fire place and added wood.
Sledding down the hill.
We enjoyed celebrating Christmas and the New Year 2016 with family.
SC Christmas
We flew to SC to spend Christmas with our daughter, son-in-law and four grandkids!
Christmas cookies were baked and decorated, as well as painted.
Lots of games were played.
Shopping was done.
The dog was walked.
Preparation for and celebration of Christmas was filled with anticipation and joy.
Holly welcomed everyone.
PawPaw spoke with emotion.
His Scout Masters injected humor, pride and encouragement.
He honored his mom with flowers and the Eagle Scout Mother's Pin.
His fellow Scouts honored him with the Eagle Salute.
We went to a riding lesson with Holly and Charlotte.
A trip downtown resulted in Putt Putt.
The Christmas Eve service that included the children participating in the Nativity was outstanding.
Our proudest moment was Jack's Eagle Scout Ceremony.
As Scouts themselves, his siblings all participated in his ceremony.
Charlotte and Mitchell were Color Guard.
His Dad had the honor of presenting his Eagle Badge.
Jack is the first of our five grandsons to receive his Eagle award.
The other four are on track and our granddaughters are on track for the Girl Scout Gold Award.
Christmas at the Farm
Our next trip was to East Texas to spend a few days with Nani Dot (Mickey's mom).
It was a relaxing and fun visit with family.
It got a little competitive, but a good time was had by all!
Terry fed the new baby.
Dot took a turn, as well.
Keeping Dot warm was a priority and we all enjoyed the fun, family and food.
Amarillo by morning en route to E TX.
We all met at Steve's farm to celebrate.
We painted Christmas cookies.
Everyone participated.
The farm was lush and green and we enjoyed walking the acreage.
Oven Repairs
My husband is a genius!
We pulled the heavy thermador out to make a small work area.
The convection feature went out some time ago.
Convection is needed for baking in the mountains.
Fortunately, our toaster oven has the comvection feature, so we have gotten by.
A power surge fried the circuit board, but when the new one arrived, it was different.
Labeling the 50+ wires removed from the original circuit board required much time and patience.
Replacing them on the new circuit board was tedious, as well.
At the end of the day (literally), it worked!
I am thankful that my husband is patient, knowledgeable and willing to tackle this repair.
