Good and Bad weekend





So lets talk about the good stuff first. My ex husband and I managed to get a large holding pasture built near where the house is going to go. I would guess it's about 30 acres and has a large pond in it and lots of trees for shelter. It goes down a half mile, across two hundred feet or so and back up. We put in about 100 posts. It's just one wire for now, but as soon as I save up some more money it will be two wire and eventually a three wire because of the cattle that are coming. Well, the fence is just about done. I have to do some fencing in the trees to keep them from walking around the pond. Wont be a big deal. We put in a few gates at each end and kept the fence 16 feet away from the perimeter fence so we can drive around the land and not worry about horses getting out. 



I also managed to secure us an apartment in Meadow Lake. I am not overly excited about living in Meadow Lake, but I will get over it. The apartment is in a good location, clean, bright, spacious. Well....as spacious as a one bedroom can be. Ya, we are going to be living in a one bedroom. It will be okay though. I will fix it up so we all have our space. I also applied for a few full time jobs in town. Hopefully I get one soon and get a daycare secured for Jimmy. (Morgan will be at her Dad's for the summer). 

And now for the bad part! lol! When I drove up to camp I couldn't see our 'house'. Couldn't see it. Couldn't see it. Ummmm...... Yup! It was GONE. Left trail though so I could find it. :( Must have been a CRAZY wind. I can not believe it just up and took off like that. We had a tarp attached to the bottom and a ton of stuff piled on the tarp. It was also staked down. It should have never ever taken off. I can't believe people have these things set up all the time with cars in them. Scary. I am just so glad w
e were not in it. The tent weighs s
o much that a leg bar to the head would be a bad thing. It's broken and if we ever do get it fixed I wont be comfortable sleeping in it again. Certainly not with the kids. Here are some pictures of the destruction. It was impressive! Pictures

*sigh* And the container that had our blankets in it was flipped over. I didn't know until it was time to go to bed that that meant they were
 soaking wet. So I slept in my van with no blankets. Oh well. Dave says it my 'First night alone on Skull Creek initiation.' I lived so I passed! lol!
