Now that I have found most of my computer stuff, here are a few images of us moving to our new Iowa home.

These next two photos take a bit of an explanation. The new place is a two-story Victorian with a steep and narrow staircase. Getting “upstairs” items in would be a problem. Pam devised a plan; hire a man-lift to raise the goods to upper window height and move the stuff through an open window.

Since the move took place over a five month period, starting in October 2019 and ending in February 2020, weather and travel conditions were always a factor.

We also had a few breakdowns of the U-Haul gear during a couple of the trips.

And, to close this photo essay, here is the house as it appeared at my last trip from Colorado.

As spring begins to arrive there will be more activity around our new home. For now, I am enjoying my first few days of at-home retirement.

During the two weeks from February 14th to February 28th I made two round trips to western Colorado with the truck and trailer and sold the De Beque home. Now it is time to relax!

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!
