Gone and Back Again

Kyle loaded up his stock trailer this morning.

Yesterday we went shopping and he

bought himself a new mattress,

a really nice couch,

a 55" TV,

and a microwave.

He loaded all that, as well as his dresser,

all his kitchen stuff,

and some other random things

and headed up to the ranch

to get all moved in.

And then he got a phone call with an

offer for a job using his Cat tomorrow.

So when he finished unloading the

trailer, he parked it,

unhooked his truck,

and headed back south again.

LOL

But at least he has a bed to sleep in

and a couch to sit on

if he ever gets to ACTUALLY move in

up there for reals.

I can't wait to see it all!

In other news,

I'm working at the Town Hall again

this week. That's always fun.

The folks there are so friendly and

it's fun to get all the "back story" on

what's going on in the town.

A resident's house caught fire Friday night.
Luckily for them, our Volunteer Fire Department
was holding their Christmas Party at the
Fire Station and all hands were on deck.
When the call came into the station,
they were able to all load up and get
there right away and keep the house
from being a total loss.
The fire started in the living room / kitchen,
but they were able to save the garage
(and all the stuff in there!) as well as
the bedrooms and all the stuff in there!
Nobody was hurt.

And then the benefits of living in a little
town kicked in. Saturday morning there
were 15 people with trailers in their yard.
They were able to load everything that was
salvageable and take it to a storage building
and then Sunday morning they hopped on
an airplane to spend the holidays with their
family in Colorado.
She called today and sounded a little
shell-shocked but seriously grateful
that it wasn't worse and so thankful to her
friends and neighbors and other town folk.

Yea for small town community.
