Folks who don't share a home with animals might not understand, but things here have still not returned to what passes for 'normal'. Molly B is still moping for little Scruffy. Scoff if you must, but she won't play with Kizzee--spends her 'indoor' time just lying around, ignoring her toys and her 'sister'. However, she's not off her feed, and she still hunts when she goes outdoors. It's just strangely quiet here...
Meanwhile, we're packing for the road--when I can get hubby away from his latest "project"--the beginnings of which can be seen by clicking the Big Bird album here. He's decided he needs MORE POWER to pull our house, so he bought a used Ryder truck, complete with 24' box bed (you can't have too many storage sheds, ya know!) and the games began. First on the agenda is figuring out a cheap way to put a cab extension on, for the dogs... Big Bird came with a semi tractor sleeper which towers above the truck cab--and is OVERKILL! Stay tuned for updates. I'll post pictures when there's changes....and I can get to a landline.
Weather here has turned evil again. It's July in Illinois. UGH. And Redneck Hill has turned into the mosquito nursery for the the County!
Monday, the 5th is "Get Outa Dodge" Day. First to Louisville, then West--to acquire our little piece of Kadoka, empty the rental storage unit, collect our spare pickup and slide-in camper and see old friends. Then back here to slave thru the hot, August weather to sort and make ready for the auction in September.
I am sooooo ready for an auction. I just want 30 years of accumulated belongings to go belong to someone else so that I NEVER have to deal with boxes and mice and damp and such again! It was fun collecting all that useless 'stuff', and now is time to move on! Simplify! :)
Once we get to Rapid, I should be able to get my cell phone guru to re-set things so I can get online with the cell--at a blazing 14.4bps, of course. But online, none-the-less! Until then...ya'll stay cool and enjoy your summer!
