7. She sure does Bayard! Yes, all moved out. Moved in, however, is taking time.

Which is alright. We're here, that's the main thing.

We are liking it overall. We are on the outskirts of a small town, just a two-minute drive into town. We're part of a small neighborhood and located about 1/2 mile from a highway that travels north–south through Washington. We hear, from time to time, cars, trucks (mainly during rush hours), motorcycles and ambulances. And fixed wing airplanes from the local airport.

To compare, back in Ellensburg, we were 20 minutes from town. It was so quiet that once, I'll never forget, a flight of geese flew fairly low overhead and I could hear the sound of their wings pushing/pulling air. The rest of the time all we heard was a few cars and during hay bailing season the tractors and other associated vehicles.

Everything that surrounds us here, nonetheless, is not a concern at all, despite the different atmosphere. From our perspective Laurie and I are the newcomers, entering a community established long before we got here. We indeed are pleased to be here. It's up to us to fit in as we like, not the other way around. Already neighbors passing by have slowed and waved, stopped and talked. Friendly.

I mean, Laurie has her two horses, Shadow her Jolly Ball, KC his cat tree and
I my internet. What more could one ask?

Thank You!
