We arrived at Mark and Marcy’s cabin in Bailey, CO, overlooking a small lake. On the way in we saw a herd of mule deer: The setting of the cabin is idyllic, the porch stretches from east to west and you can move your chair from one sunny (or shady) spot to the next allContinue reading “Bailey, Colorado; May 31-June 1, 2015”

Alliance, Nebraska
The goal of our route through Nebraska was to see Carhenge, in Alliance, NE, which we did. We stayed overnight at to Grandma Lala’s B&B, a lot more memorable than the Red Roof Inn we stayed at in Council Bluffs, IA last night. Our room had a cherub theme: As we drove from Alliance, NEContinue reading “Alliance, Nebraska”
Fabulous Nebraska
Driving across Nebraska on this sunny, cool day, we crossed lots and lots of open land, some farm fields, some grazing land with cows everywhere. Our destination was Alliance, NE and CARHENGE!

After our comfortable time in LaGrange, we packed the car for our trip to California. It was a bit more crowded than we expected.

To get these into our storage unit we started over, renting a slightly larger unit (10 x 15 ft) and purchasing steel shelving units, six in all. TheContinue reading “Packing Up”
Arriving and leaving
We arrived in Wheaton on April 15, just as spring was emerging. It’s the most beautiful time of year at our house, when the flowering trees, forsythia and tulips are in bloom. How lucky we are to be here for two weeks, packing up the house in anticipation of closing on the sale May 1.
