The Roundhouse

Our friends, the Johnsons, moved to Wyoming after living in Wichita for over 20 years.  We had seen pictures of the house, but no picture does it justice.  Tucked up against the bluffs, it blends in well enough that if you don't know it is there, you could miss it.

Gayle's brother was the foreman of the project, and because he is an artist, too, his special touches took the house from gorgeous to exquisite.  I have never been in a house built with such tender care and attention.  Whether it was the hand-made furniture he crafted, the porch balusters made of branches collected nearby, the fascinating round construction, or the curvy road to the front of the house, each little part makes for a wonderful home.  Add Gayle's touches for interior decoration and voila - a masterpiece.


In addition to the house, they have added a bunk house, and small cabin, and they even have the ability for RVs to plug in.  We were the first to use the electricity, and it was perfect.

The Bunk House
Hiking in the hills behind the house gave us an opportunity to experience the magnificence of God's creation.  We are deeply grateful to share such a beautiful venue with our good friends!
