Thanks Ann for keeping us up to date on Pioneer Quest.

It's good that the couples are getting on better. I think it's wise of the younger couple to go back to their own place instead of staying around to play cards. Good on them if they do want to "make whoppee"!! But I'm sure that aside from that, it is also because they already spend more than enough time with this couple and they must want time with just each other.

Imagine having to hunt for, shoot, and prepare your own meat like that - that would be a real experience (one that I am glad I'm not going through!)

Are any of the 4 people complaing much yet and dying to get back to life as they once knew it??

They don't sound as though they are ready to go back to "real life" yet, but the younger woman expressed concern that it might get boring in the winter. She said until that point they were so busy all day (and days of course were longer) that they just fell into bed at night. But with shorter days and bad weather, they worked fewer hours, (which of course was why they had to work so hard in the summer--to prepare for the winter). I imagine she'll find they'll be pretty busy anyway, maybe sewing or knitting or something, if nothing else.
