What a place to live...


Wow, we feel so blessed! The exquisite scenery, clean air, the peace and total quiet. We are on the top of the world!


Living out the middle of nowhere, being at an elevation of 9,000 feet with snow & ice on the roads, coyotes & mountain lions wandering around the house, etc!

Just walking up and down the stairs gives you an aerobic workout. BUT! You should see the stars at night!!!!!!! WOW!


HOWEVER! The move proved to be more than we'd bargained for! Up a steep hill with a heavily-loaded Uhaul truck that was NOT 4-wheel drive and didn't have snow tires!

Even with chains on the back wheels of the Uhaul, the only way we made it up was with a lot of prayers and "Big Red" (the 30-year old family Ford truck that helped pull it up the hill). We also put some sand on the steepest part of the road to aid traction.

I was standing on the bank cheering "Go, Big Red, Go!" and constantly offering up prayer for some angel-push!

So much wonderful help! Thanks everybody!
