Two Tired Neslunds

Two tired Neslund's are finally settled into our new "diggs" at Holden Village. After a family lunch out, our son, Matt, drove us up to Field's Point (where we catch the boat) on Tuesday. We all hung out at the dock picking blackberries until we could no longer put off what had to be done... He left us to fend for ourselves. Our good freinds Marvin and Nancy gave us dinner, wine and good company at the Holden Lake house. Art and I walked back to the Holden B & B to spend our last night in the "real world". As we walked back we both came to the realization that we had no way to leave if we decided to make a last minute run for it. (Matt took the car home to Ellensburg). As familiar as I am with Holden, I was very surprised at how this was a huge step for the both of us.

The next day we got up early, had a great breakfast and I was standing outside with my luggage as Marvin pulled up to take us down to the boat. Luckily for us many Holden people were traveling up with us and soon we were feeling a part of the village; even before we got there.

We are now all moved in and settled. Our place is perfect except for the double bed, which is smaller than we have at home. It is the biggest size that will make it up the stairs. Just think of us all cuddled up in our snowy chalet at night.

We have discovered that we can get WiFi in our living room if I stand at the window, which is a blessing that I don't have to trek to another building to read and do email. We miss everyone but we ae having a blast so far.
