And on we go to Dickinson

And on we go to Dickinson N. Dakota.  We arrived just after lunch.  Myria and Shawn came over for dinner.  It was great to see them again.  I last saw Myria when Leo and I came out a few years ago.

Saturday Glen played tour guide and took us out to see Theodore Roosevelt National Park.  It was pretty quiet with very few cars on the park roads but it still was beautiful.

Just the guys and the scenery.

The buffalo were roaming.

The deer were out too.

I guess I got carried away with the buffalo pictures.

Glen and me outside the little cabin.

Saturday evening Amy and her boyfriend came over for dinner.  It was great to see her too and catch up with what is going on in her life.

NOW for the new house pictures.

This is the downstairs family/TV room.  After checking out Glen's large TV with surround sound, Bud may be in the market for a new TV.

This is the downstairs bathroom.  This polar bear theme is a favorite of either Cody or Caleb.  I can't remember.  It sure is cute though.

This is the office downstairs, it is right outside the downstairs bedroom.

Kitchen and dining room.  I am standing in the living room so it is a real open floor plan.  Penny is cooking Sunday dinner for us.  She cooked some great meals for us while we were visiting.

Now the other end of that space is the living room.  I am sorry for the glare of the window but this is the best I could do.  The big open space is very nice.

This is the upstairs guest bath.  It has a silver tree with leaves painted on the wall on the left side. I didn't do a very good job of catching the nice paint job that Penny did.  She did such a wonderful job of matching the walls, shower curtain and the linens.   Having a new house was fun to decorate.

This is the upstairs guest bedroom.  I made the quilt that they have on this bed.

Here is the master bedroom.  Are you seeing the 'leaf' theme???   It all looks very nice together.

Another bedroom view.

The new walk in closet.  Very well organized.

And the master  bath.  The colors are really nice and again the leaf theme shines through.

Here we have another view of the living room and the entrance behind the chairs and the hallway to the bedrooms and bath,

Yet another view of the kitchen and Penny cooking.

The view from the top of the stairs going down to the entrance and then you turn the corner to the laundry room and the door to the garage.  You go around the corner and down to the lower level where the family room is located.

I forgot to take a picture of the downstairs bedroom so here it is.  When you go out the door you walk into the office space.  
That is all of the inside pictures now for the out side.

Here we have the street view with two of the garage doors.  It is a three car garage.  The curved window is the living room window.

The view from the corner of the lot.  They just finished spraying lawn and planting trees.  I love this rock divider space.

Back yard view with the deck off the dining room/kitchen space,

Two more back yard views.  They have planted a few trees and the landscaping is looking good.

The back yard and the edge of the third car space.

Finally the view from the other corner of the lot.  They put up this nice fence too.

WELL, that is the tour of Glen and Penny's new house. It is very nice.  I did my best with the pictures to give you a little view but they wanted to let family know that they have lots of room so you could come out and see it for yourself.  There is nothing like a new house to get you excited about decorating.  They have done a wonderful job making this house look very nice and are excited about their new home.
We had a terrific time visiting.  It was nice to see them and to be able to see their new home. We left after Sunday dinner and headed west a few miles to Bismark for the night.  Today we drove to St.Paul and are staying here for the night.  We just came back from dinner with one of Bud's cousins but that is another post and I need to go to bed.
