I can't believe we have been off the road for a full week.We feel so lucky to have ended up here in Angel Fire. Everything around us is new, and every day presents an opportunity to see or do something we've never done. We are becoming quite familiar with the local market and Family Dollar Store. It feels nice to be getting involved with the community and sticking around long enough to remember people's names again.

"Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary OliverIsn't it crazy how life always has a way of working out? Collin started his dream job today as Digital Marketing Specialist for a ski resort here in New Mexico. It's Labor Day, the official end of summer and everything has fallen into place.
Thank Buddha for Forest Service Roads.So, we have found "home," but the journey is not even close to over. We are looking at possible houses and apartments for winter. Last night dropped to around 30 degrees, so we are hoping to be in something by September 1st. Olin has a nice insulated Kelty sleeping bag to snug in and dad even broke out his down bag last night, with mom wrapped in a wool Vader blankie. Dobby snuck into bed at the bottom of our feet, and Taco (in trouble for rolling in manure) involuntarily slept under the bed with his natural thick coat to keep him warm. Warmth is not the main issue here, but it will certainly be nice to get settled into a nice cozy abode before the winter month's hit in full swing. The house we are currently looking at is a 6 month lease (leaving us room to explore the area and options open with the van). It is heated by either wood stove or propane, so we will need to start cutting wood asap and stacking it to heat the house. Last Night's Living Room
