My grandmother Nahna's house atop a mountain, where she lives with her guns, dogs, cat and 'tude:

She's got lovely views:

And a cute little tack room:

She also lives with framed messages encouraging laziness like this:

And a giant bear:

And a pretty cool plaque!

And a scary sign...now we know one culprit!

At all times, Nahna has two dogs: 1) a bigger dog that pretty much stays at the top of the mountain, protecting her and the house (in the past she's had a german shepherd and an alsatian, currently a lab mix, always from the pound) and 2) her smaller dog that travels with her everywhere and this woman truly travels everywhere. Sadly, her last dog Penny died. She loved her so much she adopted another one (the one pictured here) that looks just like the former Penny and her name is Penny 2.

Penny 2's ready for her close-up and for a new, more individual name:

Another thing my grandmother always has is a cat named Kitty. Hey, look at the camera!

Why do cats never do what you ask them to do??!!

There's my cutie cat:

A monster:

Here's the indoor pool (the outdoor one was clawed and ruined by a bear). This pool hasn't been used in a while but it was the scene of many years of summer fun including one year when all the fun and games resulted in someone getting hurt. My brother came up from under the water just as the pool swing was swinging at him and it cut open the back of his head and if you've ever experienced or witnessed a head injury, it bleeds...a lot. Emergency room and stiches. No fun.

My demonstration for size:

Nahna! You have got to pick up after yourself!!
