New house

We arrived today at our new house 120 miles or so west of our place on the edge of both the prairie and the Hiawatha valley. The Hiawatha Valley (and its nearby trout streams) are a good ways back now. The pheasants are closer and we're still a couple hours drive away from my folks.
We're in lake country now. The new place is just a quarter mile from the closest one. The movers (mostly Quist family members) came and helped us pack Wednesday and Thursday. I met with the banker Friday and signed a loan that will be paid off when I'm 65. The movers met us at the new place with their 53 foot truck and unloaded the contents of our old home into our new one.
It's been an amazing day to watch so much into this house in such a short time. Now we're learning the new sounds of this old house.

We keep praying for friends in Fargo hoping that they are allright. Please keep them and others in the Red River Valley before Gods throne.

Pax,
unlikely.
