    IMG_7846.JPG My wife made this banner for our 5th anniversary. I am in the Fraser clan and she from the MacKinnon clan, so this represents our union, the tartans together.

    I did not know such a thing existed. Admittedly, while I enjoy a fine whiskey, I'm not particularly educated on that. IPAs on the other hand...

    Garry, I've got to tell you that with the safety grate around your hearth, it reminds me of Buffalo Bill's grave!!

    Anyone else think so??

    Tell us about your walls Garry Polmateer ... stucco? In-fill straw bale? Left and right of that great looking hearth has a beautiful texture...

    There sure is a lot of country to see here in the lower 48, no?

    How many years ago was that?
