Honey, we're home!

Okay y'all we're here and settled! 

 Today was our first day of business.  It was SO good to see friends whom we've missed all summer.  We had a thin portion of our breakfast crew, many of them are gone for the holiday.  Since part of our plumbing was freeze burst we were kinda glad for the slower pace...that and it always takes us a minute to get back into our kitchen and remember what we're supposed to be doing.

On the way south Mum & I had a very peaceful if somewhat slow journey (takes a lot of pull to get Behemoth up those hills with Tiny loaded to the gills).  Glenn on the other hand became an expert and freeway side trailer tire changes.  Fortunately we're in a prime location for finding salvage trailer wheel well covers & nothing catastrophic transpired.

We've successfully had our first servings of x3 Prime Rib.  YUM!  We were late getting there thanks to plumbing discoveries, so it was well done.   But still delish.  We've all been looking forward to our desert Saturday dinners.  We also went to Black rock for lunch the other day and their pickle fries...as a novelty I thought they were quite a treat but no one else cared for them, and they will NOT be going on our menu.

We've been busy getting ready to open.  I have several photos and before shots of the shed and parking area.  Tomorrow I will get after photos and share them.

Here is a few of Jack and his new buddy Cringle.

He has decided his new kennel is far better than being out in the cold.  YAY!  He seems quite pleased to be back here where he rules the roost and never gets left home alone.  Also he gets to wear his sweaters and thinks he's quite fashionable ;)

Live Long and Prosper Y'all.
Happy Holidays.

A NEW PROMISE

So one of my favorite people doesn't get on facebook.  For her I will blog, it is a major motivator. So here we go.

Got gifted with an extra day...I'm hoping for lots of productivity, but based on pain levels tonight I'll accept getting enough of the the right stuff shoved into transport vehicles.  Oh and hospitable weather would be a bonus.

Phat Jack's is hitting the road this week.  Mum, Jack, Oscar, Kitties and me are convoying while Glenn turns and churns the miles with their house trailer and then Phat Jack's.  It will be an adventure.  Scotty has chosen to follow later when we've established our village...I'll admit I'm a bit jealous of his fast internet and mellow schedule while he attends his job and then drives the zoom beast at his own pace.

I'm gonna miss the brown kitties.  They're both so sweet, and so dumb.  But Scotty would be very lonely with only the fish for company.  So happy to be taking Spazz and Yahzi with me.  Oscar will love having company while I'm at work and I will be much less lonesome for my fur people.  Besides, they'll enjoy the smelavision.  I've stocked up on bird seed and am taking a hummingbird feeder.

 It is somewhat amazing how much effort it takes to prep and pack for a trip like this.  No matter how much I think ahead and how many lists I make inevitably there will be something I forgot.  But it won't be the end of the world.

I'd better go finish checking off my list and be ready to move out in the morning.  Things are gonna be crazy for a bit so no news is good news until we get settled in.

Happy Holidays, hope y'all find joy wherever you can.
Live Long and Prosper!
