Location, Location, Location

We have moved again. And I recently realized that many of our friends and family thought we had moved to Idaho because we forgot to tell them the change in plan (sorry about that grandma). We actually moved to Page, AZ. We were all packed to move to McCall Idaho, but two days before Cody was to sign the contract for the P.D. there DPS asked us to move to Page to fill an emergency position. We had twenty minutes to decide...tough decision. We decided to take the position in Page so Cody could stay with his department and not mess up his retirement. We had just a couple weeks to find a house and move. The move was a success thanks to all those who helped us. We are loving it here. The kids are back in school (thank goodness) And Cody loves his new squad. and me, well, I just enjoy civilization again. Here are the sweet view from our new backyard that backs up to the rim and the golf course, we can see the lake, the dam, and all the way to Cody's field office.
Here is what is right out our back gate. We have already had a snake, a coyote who was sizing up the dog for breakfast, and a dead bobcat down the way. We hear there are also cougars and racoons.


Dam Maycie. Or rather Maycie at the Dam. It is about 5 miles from our house.


Cody's sweet new ride. Watch out for this baby on your way to Powell.
We are now waiting for family and friends to come and visit. We charge a lot less than the hotels around here.

Cedar Hill Ranch

Just before we moved we went to our good friends' ranch near Kingman. They have set up a old west town out there with lots of activities and animals. The kids love to go there. This time Jim and Lynda went all out and the kids got to make candles, wash clothes the old fashioned way, saw logs, rope, ride horses, make butter, and all sorts of other things. Thanks Jim and Lynda, we miss you already. Maycie had a great time at the Saloon






Check out this giant dog, this is Maycie's best friend
