Change - Adapting:

We tried several different types of television programs and they were confusing and hard to navigate. We finally called Dish to see if we could get our program back after cancelling. Yes we did and even at a lower cost. The installer is outside now getting us set up. Even though we are in the trees he managed to get a strong signal. 

I just could not get used to Roku and its programming system so at least we can use something we are familiar with. We don't watch much TV but it is nice to have in the evenings. For a while it did not look like we could get a signal for all the trees but he did find one on the very corner of the house. 

I miss so many things from Colorado but in the 26 years we lived there it was very good. Now they are regulating everything and people are demanding more and more. It was a good time for us to leave. Here we have services that are something we did miss living in Colorado. People do drive fast here and speed signs don't seem to mean much. It is nice for Carol to be able to shop at Walmart and come home in the same time it took her to just drive to the one in Alamosa. 

There are challenges here but they are good challenges and it is much more convenient with access to services. We did order a new refrigerator today from Lowe's as the one here is about on its last leg. All in all I think this move will work out for the best for us. I always loved this area and now to live here is a real pleasure. I hope I can continue to say that down the road. 

In Colorado we were up to our waist in snow and here we are equally inundated in leaves. We hear leaf blowers going all day long. Different substance - same physical effort. I will keep this blog posted on our progress.
