Goodbye Choteau


The last hurrah is this weekend. Pat and I will be officially out of the house in Choteau. After loading the rest of our stuff, (you can't imagine how much crap we had packed into this little place) we will have one last BBQ with our friends on Sunday. Our next trip to Choteau will be for the big 4th of July celebration... which will be HUGE this year... "the redheaded stranger"is coming to town this year..... thanks to Mr. Anonymous supporter.

The Big House



The move is in progress.... Pat has finally started work for the BLM out of Zortman, MT... He received his permanent appointment this Spring. He is based out of Zortman, but the main field office is in Lewistown. So we will be living about 10 min. outside of Lewistown in Moore, MT... My boss is working with me to get me transferred to the Lewistown field office from Great Falls office... We chose Moore because housing prices were quite a bit less... Some could call it a "suburb" if you ignore the large mass of farmland in between the two towns. We are no longer with-in walking distance of amenities, but there is a small bar in Moore that we can get to...

This place has a 4 car garage (we have access to 3 bays), two very large gardens (on veggie, one perennials), a huge sun porch, full basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 & 1/4 baths, a wood stove, and a propane mock wood stove. Thus we have dubbed it "the Big house"
So you can see we have plenty of room for all who want to see what middle MT is all about... We have the Snowy Mnts, Judith mnts, and the Missouri breaks surrounding us... There is no lack of recreational opportunities.... Come on out....
