They are not the best but, I'll try to get better ones some other time.

The first one is down over the hill at our house. And the Second it mostly of Duke but you can se our yard too, I geuss....

Yes I do, its named "Table Rock Lake". It spans across southwestern Missouri and into parts of Arkansas, if I recall correctly. Too bad the "beach" though is a rock beach so its not too fun to walk on or swim in without shoes lol

I grew up in Ozark, MO, outside of Springfield. My grandma had a place in Stone County on Table Rock Lake and I was out there all the time fishing/swimming and "treasure hunting" (for Indian artifacts) all the time. Some good memories. My feet toughened up so much I could walk on those rocky beaches no problem . Doubt I could anymore though.

OH YEAH Ozark is like, ten minutes north of me! It's between Branson and Springfield! Stone county is right next to Taney county, which is where I live. My grandmother lives in Laurie, MO which is right on The Lake of the Ozarks so I always thought where SHE lived was.. the Ozarks.. when in reality its nowhere near Ozark, MO!!

I'll have to get some pics later when I get home.

I don't own a yard because I rent an apartment.

Here is the view from outside my apartment. I live on the second floor. I was standing on the ground level below my apartment. This was taken a few days ago.



And here's what it looks like in the winter:


And in the spring when the snow is melting and the rains come. The creek turns into a river...


Back of my apartment building (my window is the one on the far end)

I know it's grown a lot since I lived there. Haven't been there since about 1995, that's when we moved to Battlefield for a bit and then the next summer I moved to MN. I worked in Branson for awhile waitressing at Bob Evans Restaurant and grew up going to Silver Dollar City every summer at least a couple times. I loved Table Rock Lake and we also went camping on Stockton Lake. Kinda neat to "hear" someone else talking about those places. Yeah a lot of people think Ozark is on Lake of the Ozarks but that's a couple hours away. Lake of the Ozarks is beautiful too though. Have been to Ha Ha Tonka out there.

The thing I love most about living here though is not just how FRIENDLY everyone is, but locals get discounts... everywhere!! Going out to eat at most sit-down restaurants you get a 10% discount. It's so great!

And surprisingly enough I've only ever been to Silver Dollar City three times in my life -- once on a family vacation in 2000, the other time on a trip with my friends in 2003, and then last month hehe. I even get in for free since my fiancée works at Shoji Tabuchi but we never have any time!

Kimmy....I am in awe of anyone who lives in snow...do you have to chain up often?

[wolf_Q]

Here's a couple of pictures I found on my computer. Nothing fancy, but I like it because it's all fenced so the dogs can run and play all they want.
I couldn't find any pics of the front yard.

Oh goodness no! Thankfully! It doesn't get too deep really if it falls straight down. 6 to 12 inches is average. It's when it gets windy and drifts is when it causes problems. The snow plows and salt trucks stay on top of it pretty well though. I still get white knuckles on my drives to and from work. *laughs*

I don't have any really good new pictures but here are some from last summer
(L to R)





Now being said this was last year, just imagine all the bushes around the porch gone (because of Bon ) and a gaping hole where the pool used to be (it's now a mud pit ).
But otherwise it's basically the same

[Jessika]

anna_66 I remember your yard from the movie you posted of your pups chasing each other in your yard! I wouldn't have even noticed the bushes or the pool missing though if you didn't mention it LOL

Ok, I was bored...sorry there are so many

Here is my house, I took this from across the street...

This is what we call "driveway 2", its where my brothers and I park

"Driveway 1" My parents park here, lol...In my forensics class at school the teacher gave me crime scene tape so I put it on the gate...

Still in the front yard...my dad and his "air mail"

Our tree in Driveway 2...we have plans to carve it into a totem pole or a fireman but in the meantime its just a cute face.

Standing in the middle of driveway 2 (thats the hood of my car) and looking at the "lower yard" The wooden fenced in thing is the pool...

To the right a few feet

Entering the back yard...dun dun dun....


More coming...

Top of the stairs looking out

/\ the big blue thing is the dog kennel, next to that is my sisters "tree house" and the swingset area and sandbox, my mom's swing and picnic table are being stored there for the winter...right in front there is the pond we just put in maybe 2 weeks ago, Jack thinks its his new pool, lol. The car in the very back is my dad's derby car, it was covered with a tarp but Jack decided to climb on it yesterday

In the back of the upper yard looking toward the house

View of the lower yard

In lower yard looking at driveway #2, in 2002 my dad built all of the rock walls

Inside of "Jack's kennel"...he is the only one that ever uses it, he chooses to spend the day in there when we're at school instead of his crate, the other dogs aren't allowed to stay in there for any length of time because they bark and then the animal control comes to our house


Alrighty I'm done!!

Hey we almost have the same car! Though I can't tell if yours is a Grand Am or Grand Prix, I have a Grand AM GT
