We have a new Home

Hi Everyone
We are finally back online.  We have a new home that we bought out in the country.  It is nice and has lots of potential for wonderful future plans should time last long enough.  We are in the process of doing what every new home owner has to do and that is figuring out all the quirks of this house.  It is an old house so there are several suprises but so far nothing too bad.  Our land is completely fenced and ready for animals but I think I will prefer to till it all under and garden it instead.  There is 5 years worth of horse manure which should make it fairly rich.  The fence will still come in handy to keep the wild critters out. 
We saw a buffilo (?) and her calf walk by the back fence the other day and that was very cool.  Later there were Caribou.  We are enjoying the sunrises and sunsets here too, as we have a lot less trees and can see a lot more sky.  It also provides for a lot more sunlight. 
My kitchen is extensive and lacks nothing.  I love it.  Our living room is large but needs more lighting which we will have to work on.  Our master bedroom is small but has a large closet space which we turned half into Art's office.  Unfortunately the last people who lived here painted every wall a deep burgandy and allowed their cat to pee all over the bedroom carpet.  So, I've painted the walls, ripped out the carpet and am in the process of re-doing it all.  The boys rooms will be painted as well. 
The house is small but will be sufficient.  There is a shop though, that is Art's pride and joy.  The shop is a double garage twice as long.  It also boasts two attached sheds for storage and parking for bikes.  It also has a paint booth for painting airplanes, cars, kayaks, and canoes, whatever, my husband is working on.
Our neighbours are old but very into wood working and have come over to let us know that they have a fully equipped wood working shop that he would be happy to help us build anything.  That is so great for the boys.
The neighbours on the other side are horse people and so we have a constant veiw of horses out to pature.  It's pretty.
We are less then a kilometer away from the hotsprings and I intend to make use of them all winter if I can afford it.  The Wildlife Preserve (which is our zoo around here) boasts all kinds of wild yukon animal.  My favorite is the musk ox.  Anyway, they are our neighbours at our back fence hence the buffilo and caribou.  I have also found out that if will cost us only $50 for a family pass for the year and we can bike, ski, snow shoe, walk or bus tour through there anytime we want.  What a great Sabbath activity.  I can hardly wait.
Well,  I'll catch you up with some pictures later. 
I've got more unpacking to do.
