Back in the Dupe

We're back home in Dupuyer now, where the wind chill is currently 27 below. We are doing well. The heat continues to come on, meaning the propane continues to last. There is an old electric heater built into the wall upstairs. I gave it a test run the other day and it seem safe. We've been keeping the downstairs at about 60 degrees and spending most of our time upstairs. I figure if we can find ways to heat the house with electricity I can preserve the propane. This is our last week here full-time anyway.

We got back yesterday and dug ourselves through the door. We haven't done much but concentrate on dealing with the weather. This is the last week of school up on the rez so Nikki is really putting in some hours. Georgie and I had fun today. We played upstairs most of the time. It's still kind of novel up there for her so she doesn't get bored.

I haven't taken any pictures since we've been back but here's some stuff from the weekend:

Here's Georgie showing everyone the secret trick to making good ice cream: hand-waving.

It got to -20 out but Dale and I were crazy enough to hang Christmas lights outside anyway.
