Floy Fisher is looking forward to this weekend when her son and wife, Garry and Sharon Fisher, plan to arrive at their property near Wray Colorado. They have listed their California property in rural Newberry Springs on the Internet and plan to build a new home on their Wray property. Sharon will have retired this year from her position in Education. Garry retired 2 years ago and has been concentrating on finishing touches to their lovely home which they built there. They have it listed on the internet, hoping to sell it soon. Garry has built a solar system that gives them free heat and pumps their water from the well. Meanwhile, at Wray, they will be living in their travel trailer beside a steel building that was erected a few years ago.
