Well no moss has gathered under our feet since last friday when we closed on the land deal and made Watson Woods a reality.
We have driven hundreds of miles in the last few days and never left Southern Iowa.
At first we looked at cabins to move to the woods and then we settled on a 1997 Jayco 31 foot pull travel trailer with a 16 foot slide out dining and living area. Queen size bed and full tub shower.
It has beautiful oak cabinets and a large refrigerator and large freezer and the outside is covered in oak like the cabinets.
Very clean. It needs the carpets shampooed but Don will have to help me with that.
A guy is building us a 350 foot rock road into the woods and we cleared a spot to snuggle the travel trailer in amongst the woods. Don will build a deck and we will also have the motor home for hunters and visitors to use. Mom thinks she might use it some weekends.
There is room for one or more campers to hook up after we get water and electric hooked up.
Dons tractor is coming next week and he has been busy lining up equiptment to use with it to work the ground. He will seed the 7 acres to switch grass for good deer habitat.
Monday night after dark the coyotes started howling. I don't think they are happy to see us move into the neighborhood.
The creek is so pretty.
There is a ton of work to be done there but I guess we have the rest of our lives to work on it. I am just happy to see Don living his dream and glad I got to go along for the ride.

I am so glad you two found that place and have made the move to purchase. I was saddened to see my dad let that place in Southern Illinois go since he loved spending the time there, fishing, hunting, and working the land. One of the neighbors was not too pleasant though. This new place will be a great retreat, offering much to do and a new "love" the two of you can share. Congrats and enjoy!
