Home Sweet Home

Our rustic hemlock cabin is constructed of rough lumber. With trees all around, the few neighbors we do have are completely hidden from view.
Driving down the highway toward our place, here is one of the closest towns to us--the metropolis of Parkers Lake! (Don't worry, there's a larger town a few miles further.)
The camera never does a beautiful view justice, but if you come visit us, you'll be sure to see a few of these ridges along your way. Here they are--all decked out in fall colors!
You are now on a narrow road--just big enough to squeeze past an on-coming car if it's a small one. We're just thankful it's paved!
Here's the driveway--our mailbox is that little dot at the bottom of the hill, and you can see our house hiding in the trees just beyond it. We are blessed with asphalt and county road right to our mailbox! God is good. :)
Here's Daniel clearing out a spot for one of our little garden plots in the backyard. We're working on building up the soil right now and hope to have two small garden plots and a flower bed going in the next year or so!
Here's one of our little clearings... We hope to make one of them into a campfire pit with log benches for Sabbath evening vespers. Maybe you can join us sometime!
We don't want to wear you out, so lets come inside! Here's what you see when you first enter the front door. Our entry way walks into our dining room.
We are now leaving the living room, and going to walk back through the dining room towards the kitchen.
Here is our sweet little kitchen! The closet doors on the right are hiding the washing machine and dryer, making it convenient for doing laundry! (even if it is a bit noisy)
Here's a view of our office from the kitchen. The door on the far end goes to our second porch on the front side of the house.
More of the office. That closed door at the far end (facing us) goes to the "chalk room". (you'll see it at the end of the tour)
Now we are leaving the office and headed towards the bedrooms. Those three doorways are (L-R) Guest room, Bathroom, and Master Bedroom.
Entering the guest room. (As of the fall of 2010, we transformed it to green for our exchange student, Lucas. We didn't think he would be too fond of pink.)
Welcome to our chalk room / everything room / Discovering His Treasure store! In this photo, you are looking at shelves of inventory.
And this is the black-light chalk board that Daniel and Pastor McComb built this spring. (It has a marker board sitting on it)
You are looking at Cumberland Falls -- sometimes referred to as the "Niagra of the South." This state park, with its hiking trails and picnic areas, is only 4 miles from our front door!
Here's a closer view of Cumberland Falls--this time at full flooding! The roar of the falls is so loud we can hear it from our house!
Here's the same closer view of Cumberland Falls-- this time during the summer! The sunshine and green bushes just make it sparkle!
This is one of our favorite views of Cumberland Falls, about halfway down the trail. Here the falls is at flood stage.
Here is the same view along Eagle Falls Trail, a little later in the spring when the falls was starting to get lower (it gets a fair amount narrower towards the end of the summer).
And here is the destination--Eagle Falls! The cool mist coming off the falls is natural air conditioning on hot summer days and the rocks around it are so much fun to climb and explore!
Here's a picture that was taken from one of the overlooks in the Big South Fork National Park, only about 25 minutes from our home.
Last, but not least, is the little Stearns Seventh-day Adventist Church, with a small group of members, located on the outskirts of Whitley City.
