We are going here

Somehow in the next few years we are going to this most awesome place (see title for link)
First Ken and I go to Norway next summer and the summer after that we are going on a private rafting trip down the Colorado river for 18 days. We waited 13 years on a wait list for the colorado river trip! But then, as soon as we can find the time, we are going to China. One look at this website and you will see why! come with us!

Cabin Fever

Mom and Larry are building a one room cabin on their ranch for guests. To quote my mom "it's not like we need it, we just want it". Oh indeed! I can't wait to wake up at dawn to the view of the pond on a gorgeous summer morning! Papa Larry has installed wind and solar power on the ranch this year. The cabin will have electricity supplied by the wind and the solar panels. as well, it will have a composting toilet (shhhh, pretend I didn't say toilet). I can't wait for it to be finished. so awesome.
I feel responsible for the best design feature on the cabin - windows that face the lake! seriously, I had to really explain the benefits. Just wait until I post photos of it next summer. I might just quit the city and move in permanently. :)
