The kindness of strangers

We're now out of our wet clothes, which are hanging to dry by the roaring fire. Without a dryer (which I think we will end up splurging on in the not-too-distant future), it takes forever for things to dry in this damp weather (after October, the air should be a lot less damp as it rains less and less.) While we were preparing our leftover penne with meat sauce from lunch, we received two phones calls from concerned neighbours: the first from our new friend Roberto, who owns the dairy farm. He was calling to make sure we were okay and not too worried about the river. He then invited us for a visit on Wednesday. The second phone call, about 15 minutes later, was from Cindy. Cindy is Sharon's mother. Sharon is one of the girls in my class. Cindy came with us last week to San Marcos to explain to the internet company ICE (pronounced ee-say) what we needed. Anyway, she also called to see how we were doing, and invited us to come stay with her if the river gets to high. And 2 hours later, Clara called just to say goodnight and to make sure we were happy, happy, happy. Bless her. We've only known these people for two weeks, yet they treat us like family. It's pretty amazing. People seem to take care of each other in this small rural community. Looks like we struck gold.

    Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives. 
    As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
    Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
    In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
