Adjustments
In New Mexi-Land things are different. Jan is staying here rather than her new apt. because her new apt. made her quite ill. Possibly a gas leak. Possibly mold. Possibly who knows what? The apt. is way more funky than Jan wants –or that I would put up with—I feel so bad!! I wish I would have looked at it so much more carefully! But she is being kind and not faulting me....saying at least she is glad to be here.
In any case she will stay in our house while we are away, and everything is totally good with that. The good news is, she does not have a lease, month-to-month only. So if this place doesn’t work (I don’t think it will) then she’s only out one month’s rent and we’re willing to give up the couch in the meantime. The BIG HUGE house across the street from her is a possibility...In any case she’s here!
And though we’ve met people and made friends...I do not know anyone like her that I can dish with, that I can thrift store shop with, that I can lunch with, that I can shop STAGECOACHES with a GREAT price for an 1880, rudimentary but restorable (some work has already been done), Concord...I want it!) It is just such a treat to have her here. And such a relief to know I have reliable care for the kitties! I’d considered taking them with, but realized what a bad, bad idea that would be. I have a friend here that lost one of her cats from a motel room, while she was in transit, moving here. I could not bear that.
Yeah, I totally want the stagecoach. I mean the price went from $42K to $2.5K and even I can see that's a good deal. In a land where you routinely pay over $500 for a wagon wheel in disrepair. This entire thing is in AWESOME shape (it's a skeleton, but then. it *would* be at that price.) ALL the wheels are there and workable, the cabin's suspension system is fully functional and in full glory, and the bones of the cab are all ? iron? and welded in place, primed, and ready to restore. Plus, they have the tongue and maybe some doors and all sorts of extra parts. Need to move some big paintings. Cause if I can come up with $2.5K I'm buying it.
I understand you can rent a restored stagecoach to movie companies for $3K a day. Anyone interested in investing?
