This picture was taken in 2004 on the Hampton Beach ocean wall.  I had purchased a                 mountain bike and was taking a nice ride from Hampton to Odiorne State Park in Portsmouth.
I also like to bike with my daughter Kelly on Cape Cod.  They have beautiful trails just for
bikers.

  All the animals below are "recycled" and were purchased at auctions.  Many  are from estates or  road kills.

... I have collected antiques for years.  The prices have gone crazy as well as they are harder and harder
to find.  I love having "old" things that have survived time and now I am saving them for someone
else today.  People from that era would be amazed to see what "electronics" have taken their place.

I felt animals on the wall needed to be in a log cabin.  I used to heat with wood occasionally but now I have the wood stove just in case.  If gas lines were to be put in, I put in a gas wood stove.  I don't see
that happening too soon.  The cabinet was an old one that I stained a dark color.  I got so tired of it, so
when I moved here in 1994 I primed it, painted it and then added some stenciling.  My TV  and
stereo system are in this cabinet.  I liked how it came out.

The bottles above the window add some nice colors when the sun shines and the painted saw my mom and I found when we were antiquing.  Living in this log cabin is very relaxing... you just have to put
your feet up and enjoy.  I have an outside microphone, so when I want to relax, I turn it on and hear
the birds outside at my feeders singing all day and I have a water jug that I sometimes turn on for the
sound of running water as well.  It is a nice way to waste time.
