    Default Spydee is moving to Texas

    My wife and I, furbabies Tater and Tot and of course Spydee are moving to Midland, TX. I'm from Texas and very much looking forward to being back home close to my kids and grandkids. After 9+ years in Seattle, (the best sun screen you can buy), Spydee will see a much longer riding season. We put our house on the market Tuesday and the first couple to see the home yesterday made an awesome offer and we now have a contract.

    I look forward to meeting new to me Spyder Ryders in TX. I will miss my Pacific NW fellow Spyder Ryders very much. However, it's time to go home!

    Default Welcome home

    Should be in the upper 70's in Midland today -- sunny as well. Great day to be on a Spyder.

    Also you will be much closer to Springfield, MO for Spyderfest.

    Welcome back to your roots. Hopefully we will meet up at a Spyder event in the future. You will have a much longer riding season, but now you will have to get use to all the heat & humidity. Safe travels

    Well, another staged passed in the move process. Our home here in Orting, WA sold to the first couple to come see it. It sold in 3 days.

    The wife and I are working with a realtor in Midland. We have picked out our top 5 homes to go look at. We will drive down next week and hopefully have a contract on a home by the end of next week.

    Sorry, no can do... "snowbirds" go to Florida. The Republic of Texas has "Winter Texans" (at least down here in the Rio Grande Valley). Now you just git on down here soon, ya hear?

    Welcome Home! You'll still be about 450 miles from me, but we're used to that, aren't we? Every time I go back "up Nawth" for a visit, I drive hard all G.D. day (500-550 miles) and STILL spend the first night within Texas! Oh, well....

    Would that be in Bella Vista Village? I have a lot there, but it turned out to be not far enough south! The riding season here is 11+ months. I mowed the lawn today! (And every week, all this past winter long...)

    But I didn't mean that driving was on a Spyder... it's in the ol' cage. But still, missourigirl and I are getting too old and stiff for that many miles anymore.
