A Little About Us...

Layle had a wonderful tractor project that he worked on most of one winter. Here are the results. We purchased a couple of Farmall Super H tractors (one that runs and one for parts) that Layle will restore as a winter project this year and will post the step by step results as he completes his tractor. We also bought the most beautiful yard ornament - a 1938 McCormick Deering. It is just full of patina and makes the perfect yard ornament! Layle orders his tractor books (operating manuals, parts manuals and engine manuals) from Binder Books. They are a great company to deal with.

Layle plays the midi accordion and would like to correspond with people around the world that also play. He also has a great collection of all types and styles of accordions. I am trying to talk him into opening an accordion store.

The Willis's love to go boating and camping and sometimes just a soak in the hot tub is nice. There are so many beautiful places to go in Idaho!

Both Layle and Cathy love to get away from it all and head for their property in Bone Idaho. A little piece of heaven right here on earth. If you stop in to the Bone Store, tell Sissy and Ron that the Willis's sent you!

We have a part-time home-based business, Midwest Gun Sales, that we started in 1991. Check our page for all of the Idaho Gun Shows and specials.

Layle retired from the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in March of 2000. It is fun having him home (and we are getting all the honey-do projects caught up).

Cathy loves working with computers and the Internet. She works from home for LinkTel Networks as their technical support call center manager. Here is her resume

Because we are of the "old fart" generation, we belong to a wonderful organization that gives us discounts on motel rates, travel, prescription drugs, automobile rentals, cruises and many more things. Have you guessed it yet? It is AARP (American Association of Retired Persons). If you are 50 or older, you are eligible to join. It is just $10.00 (US) per year to enjoy all of the many benefits. We love "good deals" and just love supporting this great organization.

You just gotta try this.....Cathy has degenerative disc disease in her upper neck and back and also has arthritis. Layle has lower back problems, therefore finding a bed that was comfortable for the two of us wasn't easy. Well, we bought a Select Comfort bed and haven't had a bad nights sleep since. Cathy has actually taken less drugs per month for her DDD and arthritis since we bought the bed. Let me tell you - life is good!

Layle went to Bonneville High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho and was amongst the FUN Class of '61. If you are looking for school chums from anywhere - find them at Alumni.Net - Bringing School Friends Together.

We LOVE Auctions and because we work very hard and don't have much time see seek out live auctions, we have found some GREAT online auctions. Please check out eBay Auction, Fair Auction, or a fabulous site if you are used to buying from Egghead Computers is their Surplus Auction.

There is nothing better than to shop online with reputable companies and here are some that we just adore! Walmart and Sam's Club, Macy's, Egghead Software, Viking Office Supplies, K-Mart, J.C. Penney's, Sears, Harbor Freight Tools, Payless Shoe Source, Toys "R" Us, Victoria's Secret, and of course Frederick's of Hollywood. Why leave home to shop? UPS, Federal Express and the US Postal Service all deliver to your door and you can track your packages online!

Cathy is passionate about certain organizations that really help people as well as animals in need. No she's not a granola looking for a cause, just a concerned citizen that loves people and animals. Here are the organizations Cathy supports: The Arthritis Foundation, the Humane Society, the American Cancer Society, and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.

We don't have much time to watch television, however, whenever we can, we like to watch Judge Judy, Jerry Springer, COPS, and of course America's Dumbest Criminals.

Cathy likes to communicate with people around the world using mIRC (which is internet relay chat) and CUSEEME. After you get done downloading this software, look up "Cathlene" online. If you need further instruction after you download the program, just email cathyw@srv.net.
