Settling In

Arrived at Rubber Band Ranch July 4th, 2003
Hyrum wants to "SEE" what's going on here... we're not "settled" yet, but here's what's currently going on as of July 15-17. We've also been digging up the ground between Annie's Place (AP) and Roo's Roost (RR) to find a valve to turn on his water. Found it early morning, the 17th.
Update: late July 17th - working on Roo's water pipes, fixing the break
Update: July 19th - we have lots of pretty little green anoles here
Update: July 23rd - fixing front door & window screens, attending our yummy tomotoes (we eat some every day now) and RR is beginning to look like home
Update: July 26 - today's tomatoes!
