It is the time of year to revamp our web site  We tried to get it done earlier but Tally (the IT guy) has to relearn HTML when it has been awhile since last used.  He decided to give the page a fresher look and with our Hill City home we needed to add cabins to our list.  Feel free to give us advice.

I am trying to update the bog more often.  We are excited about the 2013 season.  Reservations are coming in and managing a few additional cabins help round out what we can offer our vacationers.  We do not have chickens any more but I already have ideas for the garden am planning what to put in and where.  The soil is not consistent, there is a definite dry patch in the middle that is ideal for onions and squash.  We try to amend it every year and it is slowly improving.  Gardening is ideal for cultivation patience and hope.

Start of 2013

       The new year has started.  Of course we have resolutions.  I had a short interview with the local Hill City Prevailer newspaper, I was asked if I made resolutions and what it was for 2013.  My goal is to listen more.  With that in mind, feel free to remind me this summer if I talk too much.

     We are determined this year to finish some of the projects we started years ago.  We also hope to get some of the upgrades done that we have longed to do.  The past few years of county politics have put us a bit behind both financially and industriously.  Thank goodness it is all behind us now.
      We are in winter mode.  The Boxcar Cabin is being rented monthly by our neighbors contractor.  He is getting a cabin remodel done.  We hope to have the Boxcar Cabin available nightly by the end of January.  I have been reminding Tally to get updates into the computer and website.  We now offer a home in Hill City for summer rentals.  We will be using photos from last summer but have already painted rooms and changed them around.  Updated photos will probably not get done until next spring.
     I took some nice photos of South Dakota as we traveled across it over Christmas.  Hope you enjoy them.
