• Beware! North Pacific Land Management MY Review

    North Pacific Land Management. Dead Trees

    Here I go again with some MAJOR whines.  Refresher: last year we hired North Pacific Land Management to help with our property. Our land (11 acres) was very overgrown and needed some thinning. We are always very aware of fire season. I am so paranoid that we could lose everything. We are surrounded by a lot of trees and bushes. Some are dead. Like brown, standing eye sores. North Pacific Land Management came out and explained they would thin out the trees. They would take the trees they cut down and sell them. This is considered their payment. That’s fine. We still were going to be winners. Our existing trees would have more room, they would be healthier. Thinning out would also allow for new growth. SWEET!!! This is sounding great. The debris would be shredded. The tree stumps would be ground down. The trees that can’t be sold will be cut for firewood for you, or we can sell them for you and give you the proceeds.

    Ouija board

    Thank you Winning Moves Games for making this July the start of THE BEST vacation! Our kids drove up to Sandpoint, Idaho to surprise The Husband for his 70th birthday.  What a GREAT surprise that was! More surprising is I was able to keep my big mouth shut for an ENTIRE year!! Are you as surprised as I am?? Alice in the background didn’t look excited for a 3-day car trip. Dan wasn’t too sure either from the look on his face. HOWEVER, it was THE BEST week I’ve had in years. Activities From fishing, daughter Selena was the fishing champ with a total of 6 catches. (We did catch and release fishing). BTW, don’t you think we need a singing fish as a trophy for next years fishing champ?? Yup, it has to happen. Ebay here I come. Fishing Son Zachary was ecstatic about fishing in Idaho, he was up and gone by 5 am every morning. If you wanted to go with him, you were UP, dressed, ready to walk out the door at 5.
