About Us and all la Lama..
Hi, we’re Jeff and Kate, and this is the story documenting our misAdventures of a move from a condo in Portland, Oregon to the foot of the Sangre de Cristo range in north-central New Mexico. Wish us luck – at 8,500 feet, we’re gonna need it.
So the story of this blog starts with us in Portland and will document our way through renovating trailers, living in tipis, experiments with building strawbale homes, setting up solar power, rain catchment, composting toilets, and other sorts of things related to off-grid living — and of course lots of puppies, which means we are Real Dog Lovers!
This is Loki, Jake and Mona. We also have two cats, but no good pics ..
Eventually, I imagine we will fill in here some of the story of how we met, why we are togther, and what prompted us to make such drastic changes in our lives. But that will have to wait for another day .. maybe Mañana ..
Howdy to Kate and Luka!
You and Jeff make such a cute couple! I’m very happy for you, Kate! We wish you the best of luck out here in Yucca Valley, CA. Jean, Max, Lori, Kathleen and I loved hearing you play when you’d come to Water Canyon Coffee Co which sadly closed last year. But if you’d ever be playing out here again, ask the people who own the Celebration Center in Joshua Tree who have had WCCC’s fans follow there.Its owned by Debbie and Steve Brear ph# 760-902-9366 or 760-902-9982 at 6393 Sunset Rd, JT< CA 92252
Your plans for off-the grid living sounds WONDERFUL!!!!
My pal Kathleen whom you met when she was visiting from WI also lives off the grid out there by Gresham.
If you ever go on Facebook it has all my dog photos since I took in 3 pups who were half dead out in my desert and now they are 8 months old and 2 are fixed living it easy in my back fenced yard with their Rottweiler father. Their half coyote/ half shepherd mother still lingers in my front yard but won't be caught easily but I have to do something before her 3rd litter here. I'm taking care of her ex-boyfriend we call Rufus and 4 of her young,(Rufi, Dexter, Naomi and Yentl) while the rest went to shelters and a few adopted out. So its great that you have so many pets! I have 11 dogs now so feel free to come get more if you're out this way!
Hugs, Babs
