Pioneers and Settlers

The new Frontier.
It's been a whirlwind of a week, chums.  Finnaly getting settled into the new digs, and anyone who has ever done any moving knows the one universal truth "where did all this crap come from?!" thank HEAVENS for Tuesday "anything goes" trash pick up! Loving the new joint!  Very cozy and user friendly.  Will send pics when it's all together, still have the girls room to go (only just now found the screws for the bunk beds).
Thanks to all for the concern and well wishing in regards to Miranda.  Have had issues with her dietary needs.  When she was released from the hospital they gave her some special non-dairy, non-lactose, non-organic chemical compound formula with the caveat that we get more through WIC, as apparently they are the ONLY ones who have access to it.
Then the four day sojourn began.  And a BIG tip of my hat to my lovely wife whom took it upon herself to endure the rigors of bureaucracy in the painful endeavor.  As always, one hand does not only not know what the other is doing but their is a great deal of anecdotal evidence that leads one to believe the one hand is unaware of the others existence!   Turns out you have to get a doctors prescription to get a voucher to take to the pharmacy for them to order it for you to get it!  OBVIOUSLY this take a wee bit more time then the small supply of hospital formula would last.  As it ran out we scrambled to find a suitable substitute, or what we thought was one.  In the two days she had to subsist on it she fell back into the...well, lets just say her ability to digest was compromised.  And developed a very bad rash, which of course the hospital recommended cream had NO effect.  Thank heavens for Bag Baum!  She is now back on the better formula, thank heavens and showing signs of improvement.
The rest of the brood is fairing as well as can be expected given the newly heavily enforced cleanliness rules,not to mention the electrical consumption and water restrictions they are under.
Oh yes, Spartans themselves would retreat from that battle!
A very special shout out and thanks to Angi, Elijah and Kaleb for minding the store these past few afternoons so I could have the chance to get the house in order, as I have never been comfortable living out of boxes.  Was back at it again full force today though as we put out the AWESOME 1965 Schwinn Racer, the Ultra fine 1975 Schwinn Continental (70 cm!!!) and a real fine Schwinn Ranger Ladies MTB (which sold about 30minutes before it was finished) and about 90% done a real sharp Specialized Hard Rock (dual discs, man!)
A very heart felt thanks to all the folks coming into visit today as well and giving several rides new homes!  The gent who was not only a referral but hand delivered by the refferer himself, snatched up the Diamondback and another Schwinn ranger!  He finally talked his wife into coming along on a ride with him!  Thanks to the returning family who picked up two kids bike yesterday and another one today!  Bringing our kids bike selection WAY down in volume (whoops!  Gotta make more of them!) The Denali went out with a very eager young man and got a banger in the trade to boot! Also picked up a real sweet Trek 7200 hybrid today, but my condolences to the young lady who brought it in.  She has unexpectantly uprooted her life here and is heading back to Georgia.  Have a safe trip, and may your ex be struck by boils!
Alright, it is WAY late and the girls beds are up and they are snug in them.  It's time for this old man to get some shut eye.
Before Miranda wakes up again!
