House & Horse...'n stuff

Here are the cakes that the Webelos made for one of their projects.

Blake's: it's a bear on grass with the sun in the top right corner, a cloud above raining and a mass of sprinkles on top...he had a little too much fun. :D


Lots of pics of the house & land we are hoping to buy (current owners like blue, can you tell?)
To see the listing and a virtual tour (their pics) go to http://tricitymls.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=64365139-0d0e-429c-a182-9265e5857cb4&Report=Yes
These are the pics we took on Monday:
Utility/Mud Room (back door)

Blake's/guest bathroom

Blake's bedroom

Guest/sewing room...it's pretty small

Kitchen/dining room

Family Room/Den - quite a small room but enough for the job: keep the TV out of the living room

Living Room

Front Sitting Room (Library)

Master Bed & Bath (his and her closets...Michael's looking forward to that)

Back deck and huge grassy yard with double rows of trees & arborvitae for wind block and other bushes

Back and front of the house...lots of good space to make a new garden

The nearest neighbors

The more-than 6 acres for the cattle & the irrigation pond...look up Dexter cattle to see what Michael will be doing.

And now, the first resident of our property...our new (free) horse! We're calling him Traveller (like General Robert E. Lee's horse) He's 10 years old. Ain't he gorgeous? He's a little bit of a stinker and won't let us catch him because he hasn't been ridden in 2 years, but he'll get used to us.

This is Traveller's pasture-mate, Thumper. She's a good girl. I've been able to ride her once and will again when we get Traveller out and about.

Very nice place! How likely is it that you will get it? Tell me as soon as you know...it's very pretty...I'm so excited for you all...and Michael says it's closer to everything without changing schools or ward? even better!

We painted our house so we could enjoy it...but then we realized that we could make Michael's dreams come true when we learned about the miniature cattle...so we're trying to move now. Don't know how likely it's going to happen but we're doing what we can to make it work and trusting the Lord to make a miracle happen if it's His will. We really feel like this is our place but we'll see if it's what the Lord has in store for us.
