Twisp of Fate

Miscellaneous news from the home front today.

The Airstream emerged from its winter burrow yesterday, and did not return!  We have projects to do before we take off on a road trip in early June.  Rick almost has the new armrests for the front sofa done.  We want to pull the rear window and clean it up like we did with the others last year.  And, we need to seal the exterior seams – this was done at the factory when it was built in 1973, and the Spokane Airstream folks told us that once it is done again, it will be good for at least another 20 years.

The White Buck Trading Co. in Winthrop (Western themed stuff, and a “museum” of old stuff) closed its doors several months ago.  They have leased half the space, and yesterday re-opened to sell off the old stuff.  Rick picked up some woodworking tools on Saturday, and yesterday we went back and picked up this cool old plow for next to nothing.  It will be “yart” (yard art).

Signs of spring and new life  – the farm down the road has 3 baby Highland cows, and piglets too.
