Here's a map I really like because it shows what I believe. It's been a topic that's come up again recently and that is where the Ozarks' southern edge lies. Personally, I say it's that hill ri...

I received an email from a couple of folks who work at Missouri State University up in Springfield asking about a map I posted on here quite sometime ago. I honestly couldn't locate the source, w...

Photo I took the other day of Table Rock Lake from Cape Fair, MO. The lake is so incredibly big and this is just a small, very small, part of it. It's up near the Flat Creek portion.

We have a new kitten. His name is Seymour Diggins, but he goes by Diggins for short. He's named after two Missouri towns deep in the heart of Amish country. He is a country kitten. He lost his M...

I like to take drives in the Ozarks on my days off from the hotel. On Monday, I made it all the way down to Mountain View. It sure has a pretty downtown made up almost entirely of stone buildings...

...I just realized it's been almost a year since I've made a post. Here's a random picture to show I'm still around. It's from my mountaintop.

When I was driving home from work yesterday morning I had a hard time taking my eyes off of the 8 that was showing for the outside temperature until I rounded the bend into Cape Fair and saw my f...

We finally had our first snow yesterday and it didn't consist of much accumulation, but it sure was pretty falling. You can really see the snowflakes much clearer in this one. Thi...

I've been meaning to post about the roof, but I've been slacking. The color is rustic. I love metal roofs and here's a pic. The white in the shop are skylight panels and I must admit I lik...

I don't believe I've posted about the ferry that runs between Missouri and Arkansas across Bull Shoals Lake. You get to it by going to Protem, MO or Peel, AR. They're both little out of the way p...

I'm very excited about this post. When John was doing the rafters over the house, I was thrilled. I just loved the way they looked when I'd drive to and from work. There's going to be cathed...

The trusses are up over the shop. Where the tractor is sitting is nice and level. There were huge piles of dirt there. Now it's ready for a patio. The mailbox is down the lane. I love t...

Things are coming along. We have walls all around and a roof over the downstairs living area. The biggest news is that we have the walls up on the second story. That was a job that required s...

The next stage after concrete is framing and it's coming along just fine. I'm amazed at how one man can do all of this. The rains that fell over a few weeks have subsided. It sure makes it a lot...

This blog has been about my search for home and the dream of a log cabin. I found home in the Ozark Mountains. That was my first post. I've had a ton of posts devoted to real estate, that passio...

Every time I open my blog I want to make a new post. Considering what I've been doing most, I thought I'd share about my job. I've been working Front Desk and Night Audit in a Branson hotel sin...

I liked Arkansas, but I missed Missouri. After only a few short months, I turned right around and came back.  I'm glad to be back home in the Missouri Ozarks. Honestly, I love Table Rock Lake so...
