Moving ain't for sissies. (Aging neither.) But we got re-situated at last. We are in a good place. [View all]

Subtitle — Around the New Farm.
Thanks each and every one of you for your prayers, your good thoughts, your positive vibes and however else you fervently affected our 200 mile moving journey. It all helped!

Our new home. Shadow approves.

A family of killdeer lives here in the front yard!

This is how KC made the entire trip.

Here, now, he finds comfort in slipping back inside, when he's not lying on our bed.

Shadow was a champ the whole trip. Once we settled in she was plain poopered out.

Laurie set up her recliner in a good spot.

AND she set up a temporary but useful computing station.
