And finally, with winter on the way we moved out of the off-the-grid Tiny House yesterday. We weren't the only ones who didn't want to leave . . .
For those of you new to BGA, we sold our Etna (Hanover) home on Moose Mountain in the spring, put most of our stuff in storage and spent a thoroughly relaxing summer in what one wag called a "Unabomber shack." We are continuing the search for a waterfront home on one of the Upper Valley's lakes and will be renting a more traditional abode until we find our lake house. And if that doesn't happen before spring, we would jump at the chance to move back to our little Shangri-la.
