Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

Keeping On Keeping On

Not much news today about the triplex. Susannah was there yesterday with Ken Swisher going through the things that we had stored in our back room. Fire consumed all our Christmas ornaments (lots of gifts from over the years and things that the kids made when they were little). That made me a little sad, but most of our photos are OK we think and most of our artwork. David's instruments are waterlogged but can be recovered and revived, we've lost books but some may get remediated. The piano can be professionally revived. Some furniture is toast, but that's fine. All in all, the two of us were fortunate, I think. Ken thinks that the house can be skun down to the "bones" and then rebuilt. Hoping that the insurance adjuster agrees...Will write more later when I know more. Love to all our friends. Those of you who rent, GET RENTER'S INSURANCE !!!
