Settled in the new Condo!

Nov 9 – Here it is again almost 3 weeks since out last update! We have now been in our new condo for 4 weeks. We have been busy getting it all put together. We have finally put the last nail in the wall (at least for this year). The landscapers came a few days ago and put in some trees and scrubs and then covered the ground with rocks. We still have not grass and not sure that it will happen before spring. What have we been up to --- well Dixie has been working for Fran off and on and contemplating getting a seasonal job at the mall! It’s hard to think about going to work for $7 an hour but it would be some extra $$ coming in. Mike as been going to the Peak (gym) regularly. We went with Mom & Dad to a couple of our nephew, Tyler’s basketballs games in nearby towns. We attended a couple of the local high school football games where’s Dixie’s cousins son play quarterback. We’ve hosted & attended a few dinners for relatives in town. Of course more trips back and forth to the motorhome getting more stuff! Every storage tub in the garage has been sorted through. Dixie got an old dresser from Fran and proceeded to refinish it as well as a mantel shelf, mirror and picture frame. That completes our spare bedroom – now we just need some ‘guests’ to use it. Tomorrow we plan to get a new cell phone number – we will finally give up our Texas number and get a local MT one. Tomorrow is also Mike’s Birthday – we have tickets for a local community concert with Mom & Dad so we will take that in. Later in the week we will fly to Kansas City to spend the weekend with Brandon, Kat, Bailey and Nicholas. We are looking forward to seeing them and their new home.
