On Friday the 13th we moved into a cabin outside of Ely. The United Van Lines semi arrived at noon and was unloaded and headed down the road by 3. We felt very happy and lucky to find this place. The previous 2 months had been a flurry of activity. We had lived in Red Wing for 37 years and had quite the collection of memorabilia. In those 2 months we had a garage sale, filled a 10 yard dumpster, made 6 trips to the Salvation Army, and 6 more trips to the dump. Salvation Army showed up after the garage sale and hauled away another 1/2 a truckload. When buying a house 300 miles away there are many emails, faxes, UPS overnight air packages and letters to send off. We succeeded largely due to the hard work of Wendy, Lee, Jeremy and many others. We hope to be totally settled in by mid-January and available to enjoy the arrival of old friends from the south. We've also made several new friends in Ely and after the holidays hope to go ice fishing, skiing, hiking and general partying with them.
