We made it!
After a long painful three day journey,
Sinus infections for all,
Stomach virus for some,
Sleeping in the car and truck on the way,
Eating crappy food,
Arriving early morning to no electric, no running water and
a dry as a bone spring, and the hottest summer in decades.
No air conditioning and no indoor plumbing, and most of all …
no cell phone coverage or internet.
Ticks, daddy long legs the size of your fist, dive bombing wasps,
scorpions, deer, and coyotes.
The death of our new dog Daisy
The death of our new dog Daisy
Run away horses.
Bathing in crooked creek.
And after 22 days of cultivating a killer beard and not punching
a clock but working harder than ever we have electric, air conditioning, internet,
cell phone coverage three miles away next to the only liquor store in the
county, an outdoor shower, clothes line, compost toilet, refrigerator and most
of all we eat outside every night in the fresh, cool evening breeze.

Our days are filled with fresh air, peace and quiet. Followed
by night skies full of stars and a deep restful sleep.
We moved to a big park. Back in the city you have to purpose
yourself to find a stand of trees and fields of green grass but we live smack
dab in the middle of trees, mountains and field of green grass as far as the
eyes can see.

After much ado the day has come
After much stress and every obstacle
you can image we finally started packing the truck yesterday and plan on
leaving South Florida this coming Tuesday the 5th. If all goes well we should arrive in Arkansas
on the 7th.
Once we arrive there is a likelihood
that the power would not have been turned on so there’ll be no electric. The water and septic has to be installed and
hooked up plus there will be no kitchen or bathroom to really speak of so it’s
going to be an adventure.
Also the blog will be on hiatus because
the telephone lines are not in yet so there’ll no internet. I image will be up and running within 10 days
or so, so please check in.
Until then, remember: Inspiration
is powerful, once inspired magic can happen”.
