Yep, We Finally Made It

As of today we have been at our new digs for just under 3 weeks, it's always a major thing when we move even though we live in a 5th wheel. We are not like those weekend warrior travelers or true snowbirds, no this is our home. We have to take everything and there is just so much room in our 36' land yacht, so when we stop and spend the night while on the road we have to look for a motel with a large parking lot.


We spent the first few days settling in and hooking up, I won't bore you with all the details, but most of all we got phone, TV, internet with complete quiet and privacy. We are 5 miles from Elkton, 30 or so from Roseburg, 37 from Reedsport. So far every morning we have had anywhere from 5 to 50 wild turkeys in our front yard, they are very majestic creatures. No we won't be having wild turkey for Thanksgiving, though it is tempting.



This is going to be a long term gig for us, so we got a pair of 5 month old kittens from a local pet rescue. Meet Polly and Scottie, they are brother and sister, they are Scottish Fold very distinctive markings and of course Scottie's ears are a dead give-a-way. We really like these two guys, Polly is very playful and Scottie is still recovering from his rescue trauma but coming around quickly.

Polly playing with a mouse, oh did I mention that Polly is a polydactyl like Toes, she has seven toes on one front paw, six on the other and knows how to use them.

You all have a great Thanksgiving, our oven is just big enough to bake a cornish game hen so no turkey for us, we'll be thinking of ya.

Rachel got another kitten, a friend for Minnie. We haven't met him yet, but he purrs so loud the vet couldn't hear his heart beat. :)

Welcome kittehs! I love the ears and I am excited about those extra toes. How are the personalities?

Kitty cam not an option at this point due to bandwith restrictions. Polly is playful and is on the go, Scotty is still a bit skitish but coming out of his shell. I think we will keep them.
