With the Farmer's Market opening soon ....

Since the opening of the Farmers Market is just around the corner...

I decided to do a little "practicing....

One of the metal signs I made....

Virginia and I have made several signs over the years using a plasma cutter, but this one is one of my favorites. It's 8x4 feet and was a pain to cut out but I think it turned out beautifully!

The sign at it's new home
 

 

Lots of detail for a guy who loves to hunt.

South Dakota bird.....

Bugling elk...

 I had lost my ability to log on for quite a while, even tried starting a new blog, but it just wasn't the same so.....now I have lots of catching up to do...posting new pictures and filling in the blanks! I'm excited to start tackling the fun of blogging again!!

The Littlest Princess has arrived...... Wednesday, October 17,2012

Brooklyn Sharleen Freier arrived today weighing 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long. Of course she is the most adorable granddaughter I could have ever dreamed of. Doug and Megan will be excellent parents ad hopefully Juno and Teeko will be great four legged brothers!!  

A Tribute to Hunter....

Hunter was the most laid back, easy going dog I had ever had the privilege to know. He had been Dan's constant companion the last 11 years. They were hunting buddies, travel companions, dinner friends, etc. Pretty much inseparable. So it was extremely hard to have to say good bye to him on May 20Th. He had a wonderful life and we are so thankful he chose to spend it with us. We miss you and think of you every day!

Missour river flooding at Pierre

These are some photos I took of the stilling basin, emergency spill way and Oahe Dam on Wednesday May 25,2011. Pretty impressive amount of water flowing!

Thanks mail carrier!

I ordered some scrapbooking supplies the other day and was anxious for them to arrive. When I got home from work on Monday Dan informs me that he found my package in the ditch across the road! What!? The package is marked..."FRAGILE" "DO NOT BEND" this is put completely across the front and back of the envelope. So what did the fine mail carrier do with my envelope you ask? He had raise the flag on the side of the mail box and jammed the envelope in between it and the mail box putting a big tear through the envelope and into my scrapbooking paper! Of course it was a day the wind was blowing a gale, so not only did it get punctured, it got blown into the ditch as well. Good thing Dan spotted it. Wouldn't it have been better to put a card in the box saying I need to come to the post office to pick it up? And they wonder why no one wants to use their services!!
