Day 37, Sept. 19, 2009: Two day catch-up!!!

Yesterday......another great and beautiful day.......sure do wish they would continue, but a cold front is moving in over Sunday and Monday, so things will change a bit up here.

And, at 1:30pm yesterday afternoon, we are now officially land owners of a small bit of Wyoming!!! We closed on our purchase at that time......and so, we now have work to do to get this undeveloped lot cleaned up, leveled out, cement poured, landscaping done.....and tons of other things that we will need to do. However.....most of this will just have to wait until next June when we return up here.

Monday morning the park developer is go start leveling the lot for TheHowserHouse to rest on, as well as move the sewage drain to make it closer to where we will be parking THH. Soooo, we will be there to oversee this project and make certain everything is where we want it to be. Then, I plan to contact a concrete crew that is now working on a couple of other lots here in the park........I need to get some bids for the work we want done....as well as just consult with the guys who will be doing the work. I watched them at the site they are currently working on.....and, WOW.....they are soooo meticulous and such perfectionists!!!!! Sure hope we can afford them!

This afternoon, the 1st Lady and I pulled more weeds from the lot.....and we were stopped every 10 minutes or so by people passing by......all of them welcoming us to the neighborhood. People here in the resort are soooooooo friendly!!!!!! And, that is one of the reasons that we decided to purchase a lot here.......just soooo different than most resorts/rv parks. They seem sooo interested in us and we certainly enjoy meeting and talking with everyone!

This evening........Mac/Gail and the 1st Lady and myself went into Thayne for pizza. It is a very small town of 350 people.....but, I have never seen such a small community with sooooooo many places to eat!!! WOW.....sooooo unusual!!!! We ate at "Tootsie's"....a small pizza and pasta cafe.....and OMG, their pizza was some of the very best I have ever eaten!!!! Hand tossed pizza with such a wide array of toppings, and the flavors and crust were outstanding!!!!! Put this on your list of places to eat when driving through this small little town!!!!

Tomorrow, it is supposed to drop below freezing here....and we shall see how that affects the weather up here. Right now......the foliage is becoming just brilliant with the autumn colors...the bright yellows of the Aspen, the reds and oranges of many of the other trees and bushes......and all of this dotting the landscape of the mountains on the east of us....only about 3/4 of a mile away from the resort. Such a gorgeous sight when the sun is shining!!!!

When we will leave????? Well, the day is still not certain. We will see what occurs on Monday with the leveling project.....and then with our discussions with the concrete construction crew. We may not have time to wait for the concrete to be done.....forms, rebars, packing of the base, and the concrete to be poured......all done by the end of this week. We HAVE to begin the journey back to Missouri no later than Sunday, as we have to be home by Wednesday evening....the last day of September. That will give us only one week before we fly to Hartford, CT!!!!

And sooooo, I will close for tonight. No pictures.....just keeping too busy to get out and take some photos, but hope to do so tomorrow, if the sun is shining!!!!

As always.........

LIFE IS JUST REALLY INCREDIBLE!!!!!....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
