First Day in Mercer

We're finally here! We're in Mercer, Wisconsin ready to begin a new life.  Pete and I unpacked the U-Haul today with some help from Rick.  Wow, we have a lot of stuff and not a lot of room to put it all. I see another possession purge coming up.  Luckily, Mercer is holding a Townwide Rummage Sale on June 26. This may be an opportunity to get rid of a few things.

The dogs love it here.  Asher swam after his first loon of the summer on Net Lake.  We didn't need to pull out the coast guard kayak, but it was loaded up and ready to go.  The girls are sticking close to the car.  I shuttled them back and forth from the U-Haul to the garage with loads of tools and gardening stuff.  They sat in the back seat, Asher was in the front seat (a lake break) and the stuff was in the rear.  Back and forth from one end of the parking area to the other - to them it was just like a ride at Disney World.

The water heater went down today and Pete's afternoon shower was nippy.  This morning we discovered one of the washing machine pipe filters was so clogged with glob that it couldn't be cleaned; threw it out and need to replace it.

Pete discovered several toadstools around the house and is now researching them. I assume they are poisonous.

Mr. French seems comfortable in the basement away from the dogs.  I took him for a jaunt outside and he was very curious, but Maddie Jo started barking and scared him back into the garage.
