This deer walked up our bank, fed a bit in front of the house and then proceeded to just lie down. All of this while we were enjoying an early pancake breaky. This deer is within 40' of us and we found out today that they 'chew their cud'! we watched her for about 15 - 20 minutes and then she heard something down the hill, got up and pointed her ears in all directions...trying to figure someething out. We are just loving the sights we get to see up here.

Our bar stools have finally arrived and we aare able to enjoy our meals looking out on the mountains.
Below is the entertainment cabinet that Cal construsted out of the damaged kitchen pantry cupboard. it was perfect in size as well as color as it tied the kitchen and family room together. Cal is one very handy guy.

This is some of our spa/ensuite. Pictures do not do it justice in my eyes...however, it is probably the most favorite room in the house. a retreat within a retreat.

On the shooting range! Well sort of. We took a long awaited little holiday. its been 2 1/4 years since Cal took holidays...for holidays. It has been work, work, work. We flew down to Redmond, Oregon to visit our dear friends Dan & Linda Jackson. Had some really good times as you can see. Their son Danny had a few guns and while we were out 'looking' for this ice cave, we took some time to shot a few rounds from both his pistol and rifle. Danny is quite protective of his armery so we are thankful that he was willing to let us have some fun. We were aiming at pine cones that were about 40' down...at the bottom of a crater.
