The Moving Diaries

A couple of days behind, that would characterize the move so far.  I was laid low by some vicious bug in late April and did not get as much packed and sorted as I wanted.  Many thanks to Jan Laansma for her help.

On to the move move:  departed Loran Road on 17th May - rode fifteen hours in the Merry Oldsmobile without being entirely crippled up, so mark it as a victory.  Second victory - scored Neil Young tickets for Red Rocks concert.  August 5th.  This equates for Bill to my delight at being able to see Leonard Cohen, so is a VERY big deal.

Arrived six-ish, went to O'Malley's after a beer at home and called it a day.  Leigh has done a wonderful job keeping the house presentable.

First full day in Palmer Lake:  Good news, bad news.  Murphy's Law is operable.  Tim Eckert came over to grade the driveway - rock looks so much better, the ditches on the east side of the driveway have been filled.  Yeah!  On the downside - looks as if we had a leak in the south outside faucet - well, we do.  Period.  Driveway operation suspended for plumbing project.  Good news:  we think we don't have to replace the front door.  Bad news: looks like another project to adjust the fit.  All about the fitment.

Day Two:  Up and at 'em.  Mom to make cookies - does anything smell better than fresh baking?  Out of flour.  Hmmm.
