Whoa!

This is a test to see what i remember of this thing. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. Literally, figuratively, spiritually, geographically. Mind blown here.

...long time...

...it has been a long time, since i have been feeling like doing much. winter always seems to kick my a$$; i have no desire to do much other than eat, sleep, and drag myself to work. reading is a good thing to do in the winter, too.

this guy here is what has been keeping me busy as well. his demands for attention are almost like having a newborn...

...or what i imagine having a newborn is like.

what we did today...











...it's a face only a mother could love...

...mooning...

...I got a Canon 70-300mm lens for Christmas because I just HAD to have it! I took these pictures on Christmas Eve, from my chair, across the room.






Since then Steve has captured a few cool images, too...






Just think what we/I could do with it if we/I knew anything about photography!

...fall sunrises...

...i love the fall. probably more than any season, fall has a lot of character. and not too many bugs! i love the changing leaves, the crisp air and the way everything is hustling around to get ready for winter. yeah, i used to think that summer was the season for me, but it's definitely fall. i don't get up early enough to see the sunrise most days in the summer. but...i get to see some spectacular images in the fall...have i said how much i love the fall?

...almost done...

...with the basement. I hope we will be moved in completely over MEA weekend. HAPPY DANCE!!

These are the nasty old stairs. The guy who carpeted them asked if anything had ever been done to them... "you mean besides walking on them??" I can't wait to cruise up and down these babies now (of course I really won't cruise.)
This is our library. My husband built these shelves and the table in the center.
The space is for the pellet stove we have to drive over to Malta to pick up. Why? Because we live in NE Montana, Bob, and no...there isn't an oil boom there.

Remember the laundry room? I am pleased to say, I will be spending every Sunday evening in here ironing my work clothes for the week, not, but it sounds and looks good, eh?

And, most importantly, here is the game room, completely ready to start gaming at any moment (notice the controller at the ready). This room was finished second. My craft room was first!

...sunset in September...

...can't get much more beautiful than this! I used to take many, many pictures of sunsets and even sunrises. Living in Montana a.k.a. "Big Sky" state definitely has it's benefits. I'll never leave!

...on moving into the farmhouse...

...since I have been working furiously on the kitchen cupboards in order to make them livable (acceptable), maybe a few pictures of our progress are in order. Steve and I totally messed up, we did not get a before picture of the unfinished DUNGEON that we started with. Everyday, one or the other of us comments about how dumb we were, we should have done a before and after!!! I always tried real hard to avoid going down there in the past.
...before,the stairs leading to the scary place!

...I have to wash clothes in there...eeek!

...now, the middle of the project...
Ahhh, see how different the stairs look!
...it's not dark anymore!!
...more to come...
