My first trip to Montana was for Christmas in
December of 1992. Except for one February trip in the 22 years since
then, I've never gone back to Montana in winter again! However, the
inside of our house is pretty much done now, so I wanted to spend some
time "nesting" - getting it all set up for use. It was a
great trip, despite the cold.

Swans - just one of the many different kinds of wildlife I got to see
|
 |
| |
Lovely views - and fairly nice temps the first week |
| |

A Bald Eagle I saw several times over the lake |

| Visitors! Jeb, Amy, Coulter, and Aubrey
came for an after-church visit on Sunday. It was great! |
Jeb made me laugh with his awesome photographer skills |

This is a view of my office. It has a wonderful
sit/stand desk and an amazing set of views. |

The beautiful bookcase in the kitchen that Bill Poch made for
us,
I haven't yet got it just how I want it, but it still looks nice. |
The view from my office of the end of the lake. The sunrises
were so pretty.
It was around this time that the temps dropped like a rock and the snow
came. |

 |
| Another view from my office one early morning |
You guessed it, a third view from my office! I did a lot of
viewing... |

 |
 |
| Every five minutes the sky was doing some new beautiful thing |
The dining room and kitchen, including the lovely flowers that Tracie gave
us |

 |
| The entry |
The stairs to Eric's loft office |
| |
|
 |
 |
| The shower - they did a great job on this with very little direction
from us |
My first dinner guests! After an adventurous day full of moving
cattle, wrecking a truck, pulling out said truck, etc., Dan & Rose
come over for a visit and a birthday meal for Rose. Poor Dan
is bushed at this point, but he stayed awake through the whole meal! |

On clear days like this one, you can see the Canadian Rockies

This is near Dickie Lake, on a shopping trip to Kalispell

| Back at the house, this little tree looked so pretty all dressed up in
snow |
