Mountain view from the main road

     Come join me on a little walk down the main road of Heidi's gated community

                                                       Have a great weekend.

Dreams do come true.

 As many of you know Heidi ( http://mysimplecountryliving.blogspot.com/ ) and I are best friends. I have been blessed to be able to join  her on her journey to see her dreams come true. It has been one of ups and downs.

 She first saw this house two years ago and fell in love. It had been taken over by the banks then put on the auction block. But unfortunately it was cash only. Heidi stood and watched as the house sold and her dream slipped thru her fingers. So she thought.
While looking for a new love about a year later  she ran across the house once again up for sale.  The true buyers of the house turned out to be puppets of the drug cartel. The story is a old one. But a true one. Find a house away from people. Build a huge barn. Grow pot in it. Never get caught. To bad no one told them that only worked in the movies. This is one time crime paid. At least for Heidi, she is now the proud owner of her dream home
Please join me as I take a walk  around her lovely property.
 

This is the start of her first garden , this one is going to be used as a bees and medicinal herbs garden. The second one will be a veggi garden for her an her animals.

                              She has 6 1/2 acres of of some of the most beautiful pasture out there.

                                     Jerry did a great job of hiding the old pump house.

                                      As you leave the front gate this is the view on your left.

                                       The view as you turn right.

                                       The following pictures are of Heidi's property.

    The river is from a Glacier fed lake in the Sequoia National Park and runs down onto her property.

Her property line runs right down the middle of the river. Luckily the fish don't know this. Guess whats for dinner?

                      This is the road leading to the front gate of this closed mountain community.

Thank you for joining me on a walk thru Heidi Gonzales property.   Please join me tomorrow in a walk thru this beautiful mountain side.

5th wheel redo.

                                          The head board was made by our friend Kent.

 I covered the valances with deer fabric. The curtains are a pine needle and pine cones print.

                         The bear was made by our friend Kent. I have a house full of his work.

            We added a outdoor image to the mirrored closet. That my daughter draw for me.

                                 Added tin to the back of the wall.  Plus got  new stove cover.

   Covered the valances with the same fabric I used for the curtains. Added lace curtains.

                                                      I love the way it turned out.

 I really like the decorated wood pieces we added. The items on the top shelf never come down. ( except the clock). We used quack stopper to hold it. Believe me they won't move.

   We got all our wood pieces at Home Depot. Stained them, then wood glued them on.

 We removed the cup holder that was on the wall and added a lamp table. The ottoman also works for storage.

 We took down the valances and replaced them with curtains. Added a new sofa cover and  pillows. My husband also made a small shelf behind the sofa for me to set my coffee on. Next is a mini coffee table.

 We are still waiting on the chairs. Kent is making new center sections  for our chairs. They will be similar to the head board in the bedroom. Only made from wood instead of metal.

 Had to change out our TV for a smaller one. we were not able to run the bigger one off the battery. We do a lot of dry camping.

 Added shelves to the side windows. I liked the look and they also support the day and night blinds.

We tore up the carpet and added new flooring. So much easier to clean.  As you can see, we take Cleo camping with us. She is our camping kitty. Next time is the dogs turn.
I am so happy with the way everything turned out.   My home away from home.

Looking for answers

Can anyone help me. My cat dusty has bad arthritis. I have taken her to the vet several times. They have given her pain pills. But I am looking for something that will help with the arthritis itself. Any tip will be greatly welcomed.
