Rainy DayToday

Above is taken from our front yard. This is what we see when we walk out of our front door.



Grain elevator in Larimore, ND. Real cool little town. They also have the closest grocery store to us there.



We are trying to get her into a 12 step program. This has gone on too long!



Red River. Left side is North Dakota, right side is Minnesota.



Taken from the campground across a field of sugar beets.

Just as the title says..it's raining today. It isn't like the other storms we have had where it rains for an hour or two and then blows over. It just looks like a normal rainy day here. I am happy because the jeep and the Mercedes are both getting washed! Living down a dirt road has its disadvantages, but wouldn't change anything.

We have been in the house for a week tomorrow and both dogs are extremely happy! Went fishing in the Turtle River State Park yesterday and plucked about 20 fish out of the river! Had 2 keepers and the rest were waaay too small to keep. I threw them all back though. Wasn't really planning on keeping any this trip. They stock the Turtle River with rainbow trout and that's what I was catching. The areas I was fishing were pretty shallow. There is a deeper part of the river I didn't go to this time. Too many people. I will get some better pictures of the area next time I am down there. We went fishing at Larimore Dam Park. They have a campground there and the lake has walleye (I caught a baby one), perch, catfish, northern pike and bass. Joyce caught her first fish the other day too! We drove north of the state park by our house and fished under a bridge in the Turtle River. I grabbed a few out and Joyce got her first one. I went to take a picture of her with it and dropped it in the sand (as you can see in the picture).

There are TONS of deer around on the property here! I don't have a good enough camera to catch some up close pictures of them but will keep trying and will post them. Every evening when we go out to go fishing, we see them out in the field by the house.

Anyway, thats about it for now. Here's a bunch of pictures!
