Montana? Oliver?

Time for an update:

We've lived these past 52 days out of two suitcases and two plastic tubs as nomads moving from home to home seeking a home of our own and suitable employment. Representing a face of homelessness (possibly America's wealthiest homeless) provided levity in stores when asked for our address and the stock response:
"we're homeless."
"No Really!"

Our thanks go out to all of you who provided a bed, breakfast,
dinner, conversation, encouragement and storage for our stuff.

Maureen, Larry
Karen, Terry
Phil, Sara
Julie, Warren
Darbie, Dirk
Don, Veda
Mark, Allie
Gretchen, Simon
Victoria Inn

So where are we going to live?
Katie named it "Montana".

Located in Moscow Township, Iowa County, Hollandale, Wisconsin is our little country place - 40 acres of land within walking distance of a trout stream. Divided into thirds - pasture, CRP grassland and DNR forest
a peaceful setting is promised.
We close tomorrow.
(More photos and further descriptions of our home will appear in the future.)







Katie has a background helping her father on the Tabberson family farm between Glencoe and Hutchinson, Minnesota.
We're not worried about her.








It's Tom ("Oliver")
[Think "Green Acres"]
who could provide snickers.
He'll be safe four days a week in a dental office.
(Also a future blog.)

So... there you have it - a quick update.
We need to start a new blog, however.
Mark Seeber's title suggestion for our Germany experience is no longer appropriate.
Help name our new blog and we'll reward you!
Free lodging at "Montana"!
Send suggestions to tomrohs@gmail.com.

We'll fill in further pieces of our recent and future life as time allows
(and as we get Internet to arrive to this remote location.)
