Hands of a Hardworking American

We have to get there first

14 days to go with the possibility of a 1 week delay.

Movin's not easy!

Chirstmas would be grand spent in this cabin

Shaving at the spring

This is one of the first pools after the spring head, there are 4 or 5 of them that run the tree line and then flow into the creek bed that runs into the woods.  The water was cold and refreshing, and if you don’t mind washing your face in a pool full of crawdads you’re okay.

At least we don't live in a trailer ... wait a minute.

While Judith stayed in the Suburban with the younger children Echo and Benny bush-wacked the area for the trailer to sit and in about three hours the trailer was set in place and we moved right in.

Surprisingly it was quite clean inside and all it needed was to be swept out and mopped.  When we come back I’ll put up some dividing walls, pop in a bath tub and install a small kitchen and it will be just like home except for the high crime and rude people.
