Just a quick post today:
Spring is here, and I think it’s for real this time. 🙂 Granted, it did snow once last week, but after a few days above 50º I’m feeling hopeful. Dan celebrated his birthday this past weekend with a HUGE bonfire. …and by ‘bonfire’ what I really mean is we got a burn permit and lit the motel’s brush pile!
Word to the wise – don’t let a brush pile sit for too long. This thing was so huge, it took all weekend to burn (including burning into the night). Needless to say, neither of us got good very good sleep because we were so nervous having a fire burning unattended in the backyard. But it felt great – and on top of celebrating for Dan – it felt like the perfect kickoff into Spring.
As we were searching the grounds for additional logs/brush to burn, we found an old sign for our motel. (Don’t worry, we didn’t burn it!). I have to say, I’m kind of in love with it! I want to clean it up a bit and use it somewhere on the grounds, more on that later I’m sure. 🙂
I think it’s time for me to start showing more of the motel to you all and get a list of projects going. It’s going to be a good year, I can feel it. ☺

So excited to see how it goes 🙂 I wish you three the best ! Do you think you will do videos about the motel on your channel ?
Good luck to you and your beautiful family
Hey there! Thank you! Yes, we will most definitely do some videos about the motel. 🙂 Would that interest you I take it? I’m always curious how much people find this stuff interesting, it helps me to know what sorts of things to include on my channel! Take care!!
YES, PLEASE!! Your journey is fascinating with the new-to-you property and what all you are having to experience in many different ways regarding your past life, your move, taking over the motel, and minimalizing your stuff. Hearing about/seeing the same in regard to the motel would really round out how things are in your world and what/how you do what you do in this new phase of your lives.
