Cabin anniversary weekend

Just a quick post to try and convey some of what our anniversary weekend was like...

We got snowed in at the cabin - can you say delightful! Mom and Dad ended up staying the weekend. It was such a nice, comfortable and peaceful way to spend our anniversary.

We went for a 4-runner ride up and around - we had to stop and warm up at the hotwell!


do you dare me to touch it?

...and the cabin is gorgeous! Gary did fantastic cabinetry work and mom did such a great job doing tile - oh, and all the work she did to make handmade patchwork quilts for every bed!

Mom and Dad have basically built this whole cabin. The logs walls were raised by a contractor, but all the inside stuff - well, that's all family! Justin did plumbing, Gary the cabinets, Jason the case and base, Sara & Angie the caulking and the rest was pretty much mom and dad - and at their age! I manage to do a lot in my life, but I'm still playing catch up to my parents. They run circles around me.

So beautiful! Congratulations to your family for accomplishing that! I'm always dreaming of building a cabin. ~ My daughter wants to be a librarian when she grows up. We truly appreciate all that our local librarians do for the community. Hats off to you Amy!
