House Guest

He's a pizza maker, a snake charmer, a door fixer and a rock mover. Bruce's cousin Stanley Diamond. He has been living with us for the past week. He accepted a job here in Edger Montana, with Kinder-Morgan. It has been great having him here. His family will be joining him at the end of the week. We hate to see him go...We have accomplished so much while he has been here. Saturday he help Bruce move a ton of gravel next to our drive way (amazing what two men can accomplish in a morning. Then he fixed our back door that has never hung straight. You can actually close it and it will stay shut - the wind cannot blow it open now.
Sunday after church he made us home-made pizza (a family tradition that he does with his family every Friday night - which he is missing terribly right now).
Right after dinner we were blessed to find this lovely snake in our flower bed. They took it to the backyard and put it in the field so I sure it will never return. It's so fun to have family visit and we are so excited to have them so close - only 30 minutes away just Southwest of us in Joliet.The kids and Stanley saying farewell to our beloved flower garden pet.

Great....you have snakes? I'll have to think twice about visiting. I'm glad Bruce's cousin has you guys to be with. That pizza looks way good!

The pizza looks great - I want to learn how to make homemade pizza - Mine seems to never turn out.

How great to have family moving so close.

There used to be big fields behind our house when we were little. Eric and I used to catch snakes, put them into ice-cream buckets and hide them in our room. My mom would get so mad.
That pizza looks so yummy.
