Home is Where the Pack Is

Got our new house at Ft Leonard Wood today. It's in a nice neighborhood on post, surrounded by woods and grass. It reminds us of our house at Ft Lewis (without the moss growing on everything).  This one must have been built in the early 50s and has never been updated. It's so old, that all of the electrical outlets are still non-polarized, non-grounded 2-prongers!! Doug had to go through and install adapters all over the house before we could even plug in a light. But, it's on a quiet street with a huge fenced backyard which backs up to woods, in a super-safe neighborhood (MPs have driven by several times today) and it's only 5 minutes to Jens office.

The pups aren't sure what to make of all of this - they've got their own yard again and that yard has SQUIRRELS!!  They've been going nuts all afternoon, checking every tree several times for squirrels and herding the deer from inside the fence.  We're pretty sure we made them happy with this move.  Supposedly we'll get our furniture and stuff that's been in storage since March in about 3 weeks. Until then, we have all the stuff from the RV in the house, making it feel like home. :)
