Wow... moving day is over and now the unpacking is taking all of our time. We have been making pretty good headway and that's a good thing since tomorrow we go to Reno to pick up 3 of Karen's grandsons for a 3 week stay. We will still be getting the remainder unpacked but those boys are going to want to be doing things and we have lots of stuff planned to do with them. In addition, my grandson Tristan will be coming to stay with us for a while too so having 4 boys here might be a chore, but then you never know, it might be lots of fun too.
We got Dish for TV and we get 120 channels, 90% of which seem to be commercial. Truth be known I will probably only watch 5 or 6 channels anyway so kind of a waste of money. Our internet we get through good old 2 cans and a string phone company (Frontier) and true to their nature they advertise 3 mb connection speeds and then when the installer comes he tells me we can only get 1 mb since we are too far from the switching station. I know I got spoiled when I had cable internet but Frontier was the last resort for us and as soon as somebody comes along with something else I'll be switching.
Ok, I guess that's enough of an update for now. Ya gotta love it... at least I love the view from our deck, don't think I'll ever get tired of that.
Today we decided to take Karen's 3 grand kids up to Crystal Lake in the Jeep. It was a little tight for the kids in the back seat but they made it and didn't complain about it. The boys went swimming but it just wasn't warm enough today for me to get any deeper in the water than about knee deep. There were still lots of wild flowers blooming at that elevation so I walked around the shore to get another view of the lake and take a few pictures of them. The last 2 times we were there we saw a bear but not today. We did see some deer along the road and that was good for 
the boys to see some wildlife. It was a nice day but it certainly could have been warmer for my blood, after all, it is near the end of July and it should be nice and toasty. I guess global warming is to blame, we must be in the area where the new polar icecaps will be forming. I'm not complaining mind you, just poking fun at this so called global warming hoax.
