Winter happenings

Stéphane hit an antelope on the way home from Rawlins

Dan came to visit – charbonnade and museum.

Guest house progression – more wires and pipes;

Trip to Menards, let’s pick out some lights!

and more: we need flooring, and cabinets – a fan!

Tiglet retired; welcome Eagle to the clan:

she’s white and she’s peppy, has minimal miles

plus she’s cute, has a moonroof and Volkswagen style.

Throwing balls down the lanes at our alley in Lander-

Silver Spurs – super retro; fun times we’ll remember

Family hikes on “our” trail system right ‘cross the street

Slaying monsters galore, every one that we meet.

And then Neni arrived and the boys got to choppin’

all the wood every day, sun or snow, with no stoppin’

Peronis at five, now the evening’s begun

With cooking and laughter and having much fun.

Chess-master Jürg teaches Hugo the moves

Hugo shows Neni his yodeling grooves

There was buffalo jail break: “Big Joe” in our yard

Massive and hairy and breathing quite hard

Good times all around at the Home On The Range

Good food and good company- zero complaints

(Except one, and we hope that one day very soon

Our dear Captain Hefti will no longer commute

We anticipate summer may be our reprieve

and we hope that by then good old Rawlins he’ll leave

and report to Lander base, just right down the road

Time will tell, we shall see how this story unfolds.

We have had a productive year so far filled with school, family visits, and lots of working and playing outdoors. We’re still settling in here and have a lot of painting and hanging-up-of-things-on-walls to do. But we love it here. We look forward to finishing up the guest house and hosting lots of friends and family this upcoming year!
