Yes, They Were Surprised!!!

I’m starting this off this morning with how we woke up this morning. We walked outside at 5:15 to a cool 48 degrees and a beautiful sunrise. In our six weeks up here in the Black Hills we understand why Mom and Pop’s love it up here so much.

Our Sunrise, I love the redness

Back to the Summer Cabin. Gina and I worked hard all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday until Mom & Pop’s arrived back from Lincoln, Nebraska. We were able to get just about everything accomplished that we wanted to while they were gone. They were surprised to say the least and kept saying how they just couldn’t believe how much we got accomplished. Their Summer Cabin is ready for them to start moving their stuff into now. It’s not finished by no means but all major construction is complete (i.e.: no dust flying). Our goal was always to make it livable while they seek out their next motorhome. Here are the pictures below with only the kitchen cabinets and the flooring left to be installed.

Gina still has some trim to paint. Then she will help Mom and Pop’s move things into their Summer Cabin, while I finish the wiring into the breaker panel. Once that is finished this morning my focus will be preparing our home and truck for our departure. We are leaving here in the morning heading for Montana to see our friends Mike and Janna (Janna writes a nice blog) We only anticipate being in Montana for about 18 days and then we’ll be back to finish up Mom & Pop’s Summer Cabin. We are excited about going to Montana since neither one of us have never been there before. Stay tuned as our adventure continues.


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
