Sorry to be so late in this epic story. That trip out,when John took the first installment of our stuff, was thrilling. John had so much to say about the place, and the trip. The trip sounded scary to me. But the farm, he kept saying, "You're gonna love this place!"
We had some real tele-communications problems. *I* had pretty good communication .... John, not so good. Not good at all. When he got to the house, he could only get one bar on his cell phone. Some times, he said, it was NO bars!
John had to go out to the middle of the field to talk to anyone. Kinda hard to schedule stuff. And no searching ability with his phone.
He'd go down the mountain in order to get better signal. I kept on with my searches so when he called, I could give him details on some of the things that needed to be done: like water and electric hookup.
I started to do some address changes but was amazed at how many businesses would not do a change of address without verification. Was not a bad idea but I should have kept at it because it came to be a bigger problem later. USPS in Leonardtown would only hold our mail until we give them verification. We had a month to get it done.
I was really hoping for pictures (you all know how I am) but I didn't get many pictures from John because of the bandwidth problem. I had to rely on my imagination and John's descriptions. Boy, was I way off.
I'm anxious to have John do the return back to Rosalie.
