John realtor called the other night and we talked about getting the 'usual suspects' to help pack...wondered if I wanted experienced packers/movers or if he could use the 'usual suspects'...I said in this situation, packing was not a skilled position and after 15 minutes of training, the job would be covered.

Yesterday, 20 May, I sent an email to Voyager Village asking if they had any idea of when???...Linda emailed 'it was passed' with a restriction on garage size (conforming to VV regs)...next week Vicki (Terri's best friend and now my best friend) will venture up, check out the trailer, make arrangements to move old trailer, get names of electrician, well driller, garage builder, stop and set up storage, stake out area for trailer placement...have lunch at the pub (VV clubhouse) if we have time

once trailer is moved and set up, the electrician can set up are for elect company to hookup, the well can be dug, wired, hosed...I can get phone (or at least DSL), Dish,...and prep to move in while house is prepped for sale

this has really lifted my spirits as now, my plan is in motion, and I have goals that can be reached on a step by step basis

hopefully within a month or so I will be up in the land of loons and mosquitos, watching the northern lights at night and hiking with Buddy during the day
