Anna's House

I mentioned this week that we purchased a deep freeze from Sam's Club . My cousin Craig raises some really nice free range beef and we get a fourth of one of those girls to chew on all year long. (It is MUCH better than the stuff you buy from the grocer, even D&W. )

I was very happy to get rid of the trash that came wrapped around that thing --but we thought that Anna would like to play with the box for awhile.

This homeless-home is great. We have two windows, a door complete with latch, a nice bungalow style roof with a chimney (or 'chimley' to go along with 'deep freeze'), a light fixture, and even wall-to-wall carpeting! It is something!
Anna and Paige have spent some time playing in it, as well as Owen and Anna, Anna and her TV, Anna and her percolator and coffee cups... and on-and-on...

(Notice in the upper photo the light fixture hanging from the ceiling.)
Sedgwick has attempted to take it over as his residence.
Paige thinks that she would like to live in it as well; but not with Sedgwick!

We did that for Sydney with a stove box when whe was remarkably close to Anna's age. She loved it. We painted the outside to look like bricks, but we used poster paints and it started flaking off after a year or so.(!!!) Yes, we had it that long, pretty sad, but she loved it that much!

Where are those cowgirls grazing growing those juicy Porterhouse and T-Bones? Our last 1/4 cow had the thickest steaks I have ever seen!!!We amazed ourselves at the amount of meat we could consume. Steak and eggs brunch is great the morning after.I love beef and make no apologies.

Paige and Anna are very sweet in the play house. I can see that Sedgwick is concerned it could be his dog house.

Ed has a great beef jerky recipe he makes with round steak. Particularly satisfying with home grown beef.

Anna better watch out or Paige may take that home with her.

I'm interested in purchase. What do you think the estate will appraise for? Have you had an inspection? It's a nice, clean, peaceful house--great for studying and best of all, biodegradeable.
Anna, let's do tea next week. --Aunt Paige

Is that where Tanya lives now?

All she needs is a bat to scare off people trying to steal her house and she'll be just like the homeless people.
