We CLOSED!

So much has happened in the past two months and I've not been able to post at all.  But we found a house with 4 beds, 3 baths and two acres!  It has a huge pole barn.  It was built in 1919 and even comes with a wood pellet stove!  I'm pretty excited.  We won't get to take possession until the 17th of September, but we've waited this long....  

I'll do my best to write more later about the whole miserable experience of buying a home in these United States at this point in history.  But for now, let me just say, "I draw the line when they ask for blood and tissue samples."

Oh, and my blog may be getting a name change soon.  More to come on that.  In the meantime, I have chickens to plan for, and a garden to think about next year, and fruit trees to consider, and sheep or goats to wonder about (and the wife wants a guard llama.  She likes how they look).  Life's about to get very fun.  I'll do my best to keep you in the loop.  Maybe I'll even get my readership up to over 10!

Wow! Congratulations, Dan! I know it's been a very long time coming. Much happiness to you and Melora and the kids in the new place — for many years.

I've found you again and now have you captured in my blog favorites. Your new place sounds glorious and chalk full of opportunities for further posts.

btw, I had an almost lucid dream this AM about being back at Orleans Campgrounds...
