Last night we headed 30 minutes northwest of town to have dinner with Henry and Kristen and their two children, Melanie and Michael. They are friends who used to live only two blocks away - until they decided to build their dream house on a hill surrounded by about the only trees in North Dakota. And what a dream house it is - I like the way Kristen describes it as a "a four square with a twist" because that's really what it is. It has some of great features of the classic four square house we all love but enough of a twist to make it truly modern and unique and beautiful. I love that Henry designed a special shelf about 4 feet long just for all of Kristen's many cookbooks (look behind Lucy and you can see part of the bookshelf) and I love how proud Kristen is of Henry and his heating system (sorry, I was too busy eating and talking to get pics of the heating system!). It was a fabulous night - great food, great playmates for the kids, great conversation, and great people.
