The last few days have gone like this: help Grandma & Grandpa move during the day, hang out with my Killdeer friends (Shawn, Lacey, Margi, Ron, etc.) in the evening. G & G, who have spent their last thirty or so winters in Dunn Center, have now relocated to Killdeer. This makes good sense for them. Killdeer is seven miles closer to their Killdeer Mountain cabin, and Killdeer has more amenities than Dunn Center--a grocery store, for instance.

If anybody wants to buy a well-built two-story red house in Dunn Center, where I live, my grandparents will sell you theirs for $65,000. I think Dunn Center is the most excellent small town in the USA, and I've seen thousands. Come be my neighbor!

Front of house. Winter.


Back of house. Summer.

P.S. Tomorrow I return to work at the Dunn County Historical Museum, also located in Dunn Center. For the next nine months, my goal will be to update the Museum database, adding as many new items as possible: black & white pictures, saddles, arrowheads, clothes, quilts, branding irons, ploughs, rocks, mounted animal heads, paintings, bird nests, cowboy hats.

I want to be your neighbor! Do you have pictures of the house to post?

Which one's winter and which one's summer again? Kidding what a sweet house.

And I should mention that the appliances are mostly all new. The place is in great shape and has lots of garden space in back, to boot. Brand new roof, brand new fancy shower, big old-fashioned tub, root cellar, two car garage, etc., etc. It's on the edge of town, too, so there is lots of pasture and rolling hills to the east.

I can see your granddad really does mean it when he says that "anything worth painting is worth painting red." :-)
