We're Still Alive!

We've been in Burns for two and a half weeks now and are busy and happy. We got the internet today so I thought I'd post some pictures of our home. We were pretty lucky to get it. The place we thought we were moving into ended up not really being ready for us. We found this out as we were standing on the doorstep with our horse trailer full of soaking wet belongings. Erg. So we went to the bishop's house and he remembered a couple in the ward that had moved but still had a house here for sale. They were very happy to let us rent it for a while and we moved in that day. It's a little three bedroom manufactured home on 20 acres of land. The picture's a little dark...


This is the view out our front door. On a clear day you can see the Steens mountains but it's been really rainy here lately.

Here's my kitchen. I love it! And so do my plants. They've been growing like crazy.




This is the horse that lives in the pasture next door. He's a very friendly horse. There's also a baby horse in the pasture next to his.


And here's our kitty. She sort of came with the house. The previous owners say she wasn't theirs but she was there the day we moved in and hasn't left. I think she must live under the shed in the backyard. She's a funny little cat. She was pretty wary of us for a while but she's warmed up. It might be because Rory tripped over her while we were moving in. She wasn't too happy about that.

Yay! Glad to hear you're still alive and that you live in such a great place. You can't beat a nice kitchen and beautiful view.
