And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home.

I've got the key!!
Going in the Front DoorIt's all ours.
I'm writing in periwinkle because "it" doesn't want to do it in the default color today. Last night we caught the yellow striped male cat, Rusty, and this morning put him in the big cage with Traveler. They are behaving well in the cage and don't try to come out. I bet they learned something about rushing out the door at the vets that they are remembering. Can't tell you how bad I feel for the little kitties.
Back to town early to sign the paperwork at the title company. James met us there at 10 a.m. We all were a little early. It went pretty quickly. Debbie and I both drove our cars full of things to take to the house, and went up there and unloaded. James came too and we looked at things through the house again, kind of another inspection. One of the light fixtures doesn't work. There are very large patched or retouched places on the living room and dining room walls, as if they took a paint roller over spots and it doesn't quite match. Sorry that I didn't see that before. Maybe it will go away when we wipe the walls down. James is looking into getting a cleaning lady he knows to come and do a cleaning of the whole house before we begin to move in. That would be nice.
When we emptied our SUV Joe drove himself home. Debbie and I organized the paintings I'll take to the Mixed Media Show, made my price list and later we took them over to the library to store them in a closet there until they hang the show on Saturday morning. We had lunch at the Chinese restaurant and afterwards had some extra keys made. Took going to two hardware stores to get that done - Although I bet they had 300 blanks to choose from, none fit - what a waste of time on the first one (Ridley's) (the AtoZ did them in nothing flat and no long discussion about it).
When we go back to Rock Springs, we're going to take a few things I bought back. And change the color of the set of cookware I got. Thought we were getting black, Debbie thought I said stainless steele and stuck that on the cart and anyway I think I want to stick with the black cookware because everything else is mainly black.
We window shopped at the Barn Door. Things in there are kind of expensive, but nice and more western or "lodge" themed than our house seems to be heading. They had a nice set of antique twin headboards I might think about going back for. I bought two plate stands for some things I have that would need those. Before we started home we got some ice cream and it was pretty tasty. Home before 4 p.m. Made a pork chop casserole for dinner, stuck it in the oven and relaxed - thus letting the rice get overcooked and too dry. But it was o.k. The dogs liked it
SPOOKY SKIES: The heavens are getting into the spirit of Halloween. A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field, stirring up ghostly auroras around the Arctic Circle. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for them tonight. Meanwhile, Venus and the crescent Moon are converging for a sunset sky show on Halloween itself. The bright pair will be widely visible even from light-polluted cities. Check http://spaceweather.com/ for photos and sky maps.
COLORADO FIREBALL: On Oct. 28th, a meteoroid hit Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated with the luminosity of a full Moon. By happenstance, the event occurred directly above an all-sky video camera in Colorado. Today's issue of Spaceweather.com features a movie of the fireball, the sound of radio echoes from the fireball's trail, and eyewitness reports from several US states.

So glad to know that you will still be able to see the antelope, even in town.
