Mr. Cabin, your new friend's name is Little Miss Bath House

Good Friday to you friends!

The Fletchers have been busier than ever. The summer is upon us and we have been consuming mass quantities of frozen cocktails to help us manage the heat.

The Bath House is well on its way to being built at Stone Creek Haven. Dan is building it, as he did an amazingly meticulous job on the cabin. Some of its details include rough hewn logs from the property adorning its front porch, a wood burning sauna with multiple levels for lounging, and an attached shower and changing room. We all can't wait to use the sauna. Because in Montana, there is no doubt that we will use the sauna year around. Even the warmest of summer days have chilly evenings that a sauna would be just fancy!

In other news Hubby hit a tree, freakin' hard too, mountain biking last weekend. He is okay, but now not healing quite fast enought, according to him. As some of you may know we do this a bunch, and he even more. My husband is addicted to mountain biking and I am okay with this. He is taking it easy while mending, which is like keeping a cat in a bath tub full of water. When he came home after it happened, I encouraged him to go see the doctor, as he could have easily broken ribs. He assured me that it was unnecessary, he knew what a broken rib felt like, his were only REALLY BENT. Hummm, what's a wife supposed to do with this? I have been continuing with the frozen cocktail and massage treatment while hoping for a speedy recovery. I am so glad you are safe Scooter, you scare me!

I truly do appreciate your looking after my

creations and finding a home for them.

But more importantly, I really enjoyed

sipping cocktails and eating snacks

with you,

even if it were only for a bit,

I loved it.

I know I have been super busy,

so I want to say:

I love you all!

I have been smithing this morning to gather

a few more goodies for the show at

Fusion Salon in Bozeman on Saturday.

Stop by if you can make it.

And I have more:

Absolute Boston Cranberry Mojitos

Hot Spiced Wine

and Crab Puffs.

Do come over for happy hour if you will.

Hubby and I will be home about 5:30pm,

for we are off to acquire our ski passes and

do a bit of sooshing.

EEEEEEE, SHREEEK!

My skis are still new from last year

and I almost forgot they were pink.

Brimming with glee

Bisquit Can Ski

Ski to the Cabin

On Friday night, we packed up the gear in our packs and head for the Haven!

Bella even carries a pack, no free rides in the Fletcher House.

Tonight was the night to bring "Maria", Scott's guitar, to her

new home up Stone Creek.

It is so amazing in the cabin with our new LED lights.

Happy Husband on the plank between the master and guest lofts.

Everybody relaxes.

Tunes for the family.

Great acoustics in here, by the way!

Superb Cast Iron Stove

Slushy green snow cocktails.

Steamed Clams & Toasted Bread topped with Boursin Cheese:

THE PLANK.

Do we really have to ski out?

Our little Stone Creek:

that flows year around,

home to many-a-trout,

heard from the cabin,

and home to the Haven!

I hope you all had a splendid weekend.

Our was fabulous.

Now to a short work week and then

packing, cooking, hunting.....

in Eastern Montana for deer

with the Fletchers.

Until then...

jelly, cookies and zucchini bread.

Pretty ambitious.

Feeling Lucky and Blessed,
