Still Waiting...

We had hoped to get all of our business done today so that we could leave for the ranch tomorrow to start loading up for our trip south. But, when we checked, the paperwork wasn't all finished...

Promises are for tomorrow. I guess we'll see.

At least there was some blue sky to be seen today. After the last several days of overcast and rainy weather, it was very welcome.

I was getting a bit of  "cabin fever," so went with Forry to the post office in Four Lakes to mail our second half property tax payments to the Adams County Treasurer. We drove around Four Lakes and then Medical Lake. Didn't have any destination in mind, but Auntie Violet looked better to me when we got back.

You can't see in the picture how mushy the ground is. Your feet actually sink into the grass if you walk across it!

I don't think I should be complaining about a little rain when the people on the East Coast are having such a time with Hurricane Sandy. For all of you dealing with the storm -- keep safe!

Finally - Back at Ponderosa Falls

We started out yesterday morning getting everything ready to move. But the longer we were up, the harder the wind blew and the more the dust stormed. It had been pretty dusty on Sunday morning when we had gone to church and later when we went to the AHEC gathering near Medical Lake. There had been a couple of times when it the dust briefly was so thick you couldn't see the road.

We decided it had been bad enough driving the Toad in the gusty winds and we really didn't want to drive Auntie Violet in it. So Forry went to where he could get cell reception and delayed our arrival at Ponderosa Falls another day. I did a load of laundry and went to bed early...

This morning it was COLD! The temperature in the coulee got down to 27.4 degrees F last night. Our water hose was frozen this morning. But there was no wind! It actually turned out to be a beautiful day to move.

We got back to Ponderosa Falls about three thirty this afternoon; checked in; parked in a nice pull-through site; let down the jacks and put out the slides. We've good satellite reception for the TV; my cell phone had five bars and I have a wonderful internet connection with both AT&T and Verizon!
Life is good, once again.
