| 18 Aug 2003 Grape Creek RV Park Westcliffe, CO Big news! We've bought a house in the Valley - our roving days are coming to an end, at least for the present. After being here for over a month, we decided that this was the place to put down some roots. We have a closing date of Sept 30 - lots to do before then. More later... |

| 23 Aug 2003 Grape Creek RV Park Westcliffe, CO We had to take Cyrano (boy cat) down to Pueblo West today to the vet. He�s been listless and not eating much. Looks like he has some kind of blood parasite (which the vet thinks he must have picked up in Missouri, since it�s incredibly rare in Colorado). His blood cell counts were very low. So now we have two pills to give him morning and evening. O joy! Have you ever tried to pill a cat? If you�re not careful, you could bring back a bloody stump. We�re hoping to get down to the state fair in Pueblo before it ends next weekend�our realtor is showing her Paso Fino horses. And I�ve never been to a state fair before. It seems to be a very big deal in this neck of the woods. But house matters first � Monday we�re trying to get a well test and a septic system inspection done at the new house. I�m going to take some paint chips so we can see how they might look in the great room/kitchen. I�ve landed a temporary job, starting in October, working with Archiva, an archival consulting company, to inventory this year�s accumulation of the US Olympic Committee records � they�re located in Colorado Springs, or �the Springs�, as people say around here. |
