Leaving our little pickup in Paul and Xue's care,
we booked return flights to Bozeman to do some de-winterizing at home.
Closing occurred on May 4 and we took a return flight May 10 to set
up a semblance of housekeeping.
The week was a whirlwind of activity as we managed to get several rooms
of furniture
(mostly)
complete,
window treatments installed,
pictures hung,
lights and switches modified,
internet connected and security system activated.
Early on May 19,
we started a two-day,
1,200 mile trip back to Montana in the little truck to finish
de-winterizing and to prepare for an upcoming trip to Europe.
It was a hectic two months,
but we realize a lot of people would love to have our problems!
