Go Cats....

Every fall, we seriously look forward to going to MSU football games. This year we didn't get our usual season tickets, but looked at the schedule and picked one game to go to. Saturday was our game day and what a day it was! November is an interesting month in Montana. Typically winter visits us pretty early (It is not unusual for winter to begin sometime in October even), but this year, fall lasted until this past Sunday (we woke up today with rain that looked like it would turn to snow).

Saturday was a GREAT football day! The weather was FANTASTIC! And the Bobcats won! It was a fun family day together, outside, cheering on our favorite team...even Gwen was getting into it (at least until it was past her nap time)! Here are some fun pics of our day...

Have a wonderful Monday!

Ciao a tutti!

Firewood...

Every fall, we Kruse's (the Tobin Kruse's and the Phil Kruse's) go out into the woods and cut down a bunch of trees and haul them away to our houses. Sounds pretty straight forward...one Saturday, two families, and 8 cords of wood...ALOT of work!!!

Here's the before pic of the crew...

You have to teach them early to work hard...

Teamwork is a must...

Lots of smiles and rest for the weary (and those with bad backs...I just take pictures!)...

A little danger makes it more fun...

And there you have it...8 cords of wood...and the 2 guys that did most of the work...

So we are set for this winter...yes, we actually burn 8 cords of wood each winter...we have a big house that is mostly heated by the fireplace. Now, we just have to cut it up, split it, and stack it...no worries!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ciao a tutti!
