    Hey - you guys are in Canada, according to your map. Awesome stuff.

    Let me know when you are going to be in Calgary. We have an extra bed, and you would have your own shower to use.

    Thanks, Terry! After Vancouver, we are going to roll back down into the Seattle area to spend some time with some Phoenix friends that are making the trip up to meet with us. What good friends we have!

    After that, we are headed East to Glacier National Park and may or may not head back North after that. We will certainly let you know our plans and we really appreciate the kind offer!

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

Boeke Prospective City Analysis Matrix AND House Walk Through!

By
Several people have asked us how we picked Fort Collins as a place to live so I thought I would share the story with all of you. Or rather, the Matrix. Because that is how we decided. We called it the Prospective City Analysis and this is what it looked like (click to enlarge): Once we were mostly done filling in the Matrix (we had a hard time finding some city data), we sat on it for awhile and "tried out" the front runners in our heads. That would be why we told some of you that we were going to live in Durango...or Prescott...or Seattle...or Manitou Springs (a late entry after the Matrix was completed). But each time, something didn't feel quite right to us so we would move on to the next place on our radar, hoping something would stick.  And Fort Collins did. It didn't wither under the intense scrutiny that I put it under and when we got here to do our final "walk through", it felt right.  And that feeling hasn't gone away. I love that I can ge
