Gingerbread House Update


The house was finished last night before the Christmas Tree Lighting here in Sisters. Folks can come by and see it in person (and vote for it) as they visit businesses hosting the "Home on the Range" Gingerbread Trail fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their construction efforts which include WALL-E, Sunburst Snowmen and alot of playful candy arrangements on the roof and grounds. Click the pictures to see a larger view.

The Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce is at 291 E. Main Ave in Sisters.

Have a happy holiday season!

Guess, We've Really Been Slipping on the Blog


You know, I don't think it was until today I realized how tough it can be to be a stay-at-home-fill-in-the-blank. The kids are out of school and I'm wore out. It's non-stop, they or the dog need something. Makes you wish you were back working for someone...then at least most days you can walk out and take a lunch away.


Tonight, Frau and Fraulein are busy with the Gingerbread house/Gingerbread Nativity.

Local Wood Carving Legend Finishes Massive Doors

Wow! Skip Armstrong has done an amazing job with this project! See what the Nugget Newspaper had to say about this work at: http://www.nuggetnews.com/main.asp?SectionID=65&SubSectionID=105&ArticleID=15176&TM=57782.68
The above picture is what will greet parishioners at St Mary's in Boise, ID in a few weeks. We went out to Skip's workshop in the woods where the doors are having the finishing touches put to them before being shipped to Boise next week. This is world class work by a truly talented man.
