THE NEIGHBORS

When you think of neighbors you think of those people 50 or 100 feet away from your house, right?  Well, out here (at Cousin Bob’s) the neighbors are MILES away.

Bob took us over to meet his neighbors the other day….1 mile away.  We meet Fred and Cheri.  They have been building their vacation reteat up here in God’s country for the last 15 years.

Fred said most of the building materials are from Costco, the thrift store or Harrah’s (yes, Las Vegas Harrah’s).   The reason things came from Harrah’s; they live in Las Vegas.  When casino’s remodel, which they do often, you can get things for dirt cheep!  He picked up sliding glass doors for the house that way.

It is a very interesting collection of items, sort of like a giant antique store.  If you are into eye candy this is definitely the place to go.  You can look around the place 15 times and see something different each time.  They have things on the walls, things on the rafters, things out in the garden in the trees, hanging from the deck ceiling.  This place is a virtual wonderland of chukkas!!!

A little ZEN time!!!

A place to sit and observe the resident coyotes.

Fred said that this gate leads to another dimension!!
I just took his word for it.

In case you tire of looking at the unique items they have about their home, there is an upper deck they have for an awesome view of the country side.  You can see forever!!!

You can barely see the top of  Bob's house.

The mountain with a dent in the top is a valcano!

Thanks Fred and Cheri for sharing your retreat with us.

Safe Travels and Stay Healthy,
