Our Change of Plans

We had a sudden change of plans. Instead of spending our Spring Break on my parent's property in Western Montana, my mom, Neal, Eliza, Annelise and I drove 5 hours down I-5 and ended up at my Grandma Marcia's house in Salem.

Neal, Dad and I were supposed to spend a little over a week at the Timberframe in Montana. So far we only have the foundations up, but my dad wanted to plant some of our Huckleberry bushes and some apple trees over there so we can be self-sufficient if all heck breaks loose thanks to our current economic state and Obama's cronies.

Currently, though, the ground is frozen and they have about 2 feet of snow. Now, I've camped for 3 weeks straight, in violent 60 mph windstorms and 116 degree weather while lifting heavy building materials. That happened last summer and I had FUN and toughed it out. But cold is another thing. Basically, we'd have to sleep in the canopy of our dad's truck, or build a fire and do it eskimo style while planting a garden and building part of our house. I'm tough, but not THAT tough.

So now I'm typing this entry from my g-ma's laptop.

Here are some pics of the property in montana:
