Added Touches to the Cabin

As we spent a few days getting our cabin

ready for the Home Show,

we couldn't help but notice all the nice

added touches. Some are our efforts and

others are gifts and help from other people.

We spend many peaceful hours

on the swing Kim & Steve

gave Ron for his 60th B. Day

We love everything about our cabin,

except the laundry area - no window.

So we took our door to a place that installs

windows in them and now there's light

pouring into the room. Love it!
We built these benches to go around the firepit.

Carol (Joe's Mom) bought this darling
nightlight for us. We love how the fire
flickers in the window - so cute!

We noticed a lot of bird

droppings on our deck, so we

placed this owl here and it

really seems to help.

The only problem is

in the wind, his head spins,

so we call it our Exorcist Owl.

This is a beautiful blanket from Pendleton
Woolen Mills that Don & Noel bought us.
We love it and it looks so cabiny.
Another beautiful blanket
that Kim & Steve brought back from
their excursion to Jackson Hole.
New pine tree we planted. The wildflower
seed is starting to sprout. Be glad when
everything grows so we don't look at
dirt anymore.

We're so grateful to Chan and his buddies, Kim & Steve
and Grandpa for helping with the landscaping. We
couldn't have done it without them.

We're so grateful to all those who had a hand
in making our cabin more homey & enjoyable.
It's truly been a labor of love!
