buttes, and some others

these are some pics from renovation work and a trip we took hiking into some of the buttes with sean's friends lindsay and derek.

so with no options for real insullation the previous owners apparently used clothes to stuff in cracks. this is an old pair of wool slacks, stylin.

this was our kitchen..................................................................................


til sean gave me a sawzall. it really saws all!
we found a mouse graveyard. gross cause we've lived here kinda a while.

i can do this because i get to knock this wall to the ground with a sledge hammer, another of my new favorite toys. bye bye painting hello destruction.


these are for my pops. we found old knob and tube style wiring, and even ceramic electrical boxes.



okay so i know it looks like max the dog is puking his treat up. actually he is enjoying his last from the box that my sister sandy got him for the trip. sandy max says thank you with a full belly.

this is the old train depot/museum in grover.


this is across the street from the depot, i think its an old slaughter house.


this is our new huge mailbox. so if you want to send boxes of gifts they will fit. oh that's derek helping sean put it up.



we made lindsay a best-friend plaque because she has been the only one brave enough to spend the night so far.

we had a good time, we love guests.


this is the rattle snake that i think we kinda rolled over with the car the night before. or one of the gigantic prairie falcons tried to swoop up but there was a mid air battle that they both lost. whichever it is the thing was very dead.

the best thing to do with a dead rattle snake...................................................


..................put it in a box and take it home, cut off it's rattle and make a necklace. which is exactly what i did.


**********ah the buttes*********











well thats about it, gonna make some art and tear apart the bathroom tonight. both can be very scary. we love you all.

c&s

so last night sandy told me that the boys are not allowed to watch charlie and the chocolate factory anymore because they were at the train station and anthony pointed at a little girl, who happened to be quite round, and said, "mommy it's the blueberry, it's the blueberry mommy." Or something along those lines...I thought that was great...
