We are beyond blessed to have a wonderful place as this... We have TONS of Room for all.. Sunrises and Sunsets beyond words, wildlife galore, quiet and all this close to town... Forget the milk.. No Problem... be right back in 10 min...That is a blessing!
We sit in the High Desert of Central Oregon where we get all the seasons and tons of sun!
Mason's school is 5 minutes away, Friends are WAY closer.. And Gary can come home for lunch at times... WOW!
The dogs have tons of room to run and play! They have their own area to dig and do what doggies like to do..
We have done much work here, put up 1500 ft of fence thus far, 1000 more to go... Painted the Living Room and Dining Room, Three bedrooms, one bath painted, Kitchen/Nook painted. Got new Furniture for the Living Room.. Yippie! New light fixtures through out the house. The house is 2436 sq. ft. with 2.5 acres of land. Our Heaven here on earth whom we owe all our thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..
We have put new Laminate flooring upstairs with two rooms to go.. Our next inside project will be the down stairs Family Room area... That will be a winter project of 2006/2007!
The Horses have their pasture now complete and are happy to be out in a much bigger area.
We have lived here in this home for just 10 months. The pictures on this album are from Aug 12th 2005 to June 12th 2006!
