Summer in the Tetons

Our pandemic purchase, if you do not count moving up the date of our outdoor remodel from someday to this summer, was a house in the Tetons. The timing was right in a lot of ways. We were selling the house in town that we had for our kids who were students. The last of them has left a year before and our youngest was so unlikely to want to live there that despite really loving it, it was time to let it go. We had only gone one place the whole year of COVID, which was to visit our only child who lives away. And while we were there we visited the Tetons. It was so peaceful and beautiful, how were we to resist? We did not, as it turns out. We were not the only ones to think that it might be nice to live in such a gorgeous setting, and it was hard to get something that would suit, but in the end we did and this summer we are doing the thing that is great fun. We are bringing the next generation to the mountains. We still have to go to Vermont with them but they will be able to enjoy the West this year.
