After Tuesday's house sale, much of this week has been spent waiting for repairs to finish up, both for the trailer and the truck. We've been staying with friends, who haven't minded us lazing around much of the day. (We've reciprocated by cooking suppers; some housecleaning is in the near future, as well.) Muscles are loosening up, and we no longer feel like we're on the tilt edge of getting the flu. I can feel the peace and quiet slowly seeping into my bones. Wonderful.
When the truck and trailer are done, we'll put away the flotsam and jetsam shoved into the fifth-wheel, then head up into the mountains for a few days. Fall colors are at their height here in Colorado. (They're a few weeks late, compared to previous years.)
Just looking at them eases out all the kinks and stress.

Congrats on your house sale - so glad it finally went thru. Someone we know lost her dog hiking and took 3 weeks off to look for it - and found it so anyone who loses a pet shouldn't lose hope. We once had a cat go missing (was outside on an acreage) for months. We were riding our horses on the road about 5 miles away and out comes this kitty covered in soot and oil from a wreckers...it recognized the horses and came to us and we finally realized it was our kitty as was difficult to tell from the appearance. That cat lived another 6 years after that :)
Thank you -- we are soooo glad that's over! I am tempted to drive past and see what the new owners are doing on the place, but have behaved myself, so far.
Don't you wonder, though, where your kitty was, all those months...
thanks for writing. Glad to have you back in the land of the bloggers; I've missed your regular posts.
