Dad’s Weekly Report

Dear Family,

Here are some pictures of our house that I promised.  I took them yesterday morning.  Please excuse any mess you see as we are living there. 

Here is the view from our front yard.  It is morning so the sun is behind me and shining on the San Francisco Peaks.  The tallest peak is hidden.  I think that the snow capped peak you see is the second tallest.  the mountains are a  large volcano that the top blew off leaving a crater with peaks all around.

Here is our living room at the front of the house.  The door you see on the left is our front door.   We have a lot of natural light in our house.   During daylight hours you seldom have to turn any lights on in the house.

 Here is another view of our living room showing the wood stove.  You can also see that our eating area is right behind our living room.  The door you see in the picture is to a bathroom and on either side of the bathroom is a bedroom.  I won’t show pictures of the bedrooms as they are just regular bedrooms.  However they have beds in them ready for you to visit.

Here is our bedroom.  You can see that the morning sunshine is pretty bright and it is hard to sleep in.  We have a big bathroom behind the bedroom.

Here is our out building.  It is devided into two sections and the doors you see go into them.  The large section on the right is the shop and the smaller on the left is the studio.

Here is inside the studio.  Sandy has her sewing machine in here but she hasn’t used it yet.  There is still a lot of unpacked boxes here.

Here is my shop.  Very unorganized yet but in much use as I am building cupboard and shelves to hold all the stuff that is still in unpacked boxes.

Here I took a picture of the back of our house from near the back of our yard.  We have about 1 acre that is mostly just vacant land with natural weeds, bushes and grass.  I could take a picture from the house towards the back because it was early morning and the sun is shining from that way.

Hope you enjoy this and hope that you will come to see for yourselves.

love,

John
