We took a trip to IKEA today. It wasn't so bad. The store was fairly empty and we got some really good ideas for the house. We have quite a few rooms that will be getting a makeover, mostly because we have to make some space for Mackenzie. Her room (currently our...
Back to the usual
Yesterday was pretty quiet for us. We did a couple smallish things around here but not really anything worth noting. Mostly we worked on internet stuff and watched lots of Olympics coverage (thanks to our hard disk recorder since everything good comes on at 2am here.)...
Hay Girl, Hay!
We're no stranger to having random people drop by, asking if we still rent trained doves to fly at weddings and events (and no, we do not.) But earlier this week, a woman stopped in and asked if we were selling hay. For her guinea pig, of course. I have to say the...
Blackberry foraging, Part 1
When we took Ayla for a walk this morning, we grabbed a couple of Tupperware containers and carrying bags so we could raid the blackberry bushes near our standard walking area. We picked for about 30 minutes I guess, canvasing a pretty large area of berry bushes and...
Some of the baby gear we still have to get…
I haven't written much about the nursery or what we're planning to do in there...so I figured I would post a few links to the furniture, bedding and so on that we've picked out from IKEA. Yes, IKEA. Not too original on our behalf but the value for money still can't be...
Why everyone needs a Freecycle account
Around a month ago, I put out a "searching for" request on Freecycle for canning jars. I'm part of about 5 local groups here within a 45 minute driving range but there has rarely been anything I've wanted from these lists. There was a sequoia tree once which I thought...
But those were MY apples!
Hey dogsters! I hope you are looking forward to the weekend as I am. I love it when both of my humans are home to love on me and drive crazy! I just have to vent a little about something weird they did last night... A few days ago, mom & dad took a bag with them...
Recycling old candles
We weren't really feeling like doing anything too physical today so we decided to try something else new - recycling a big basket of bits and pieces of candles that was left in the house when we moved in. We've thought about doing this for a while, but never really...
The moistest zucchini bread ever
When the zucchini bread really begins to pile up, this is a great way to get rid of it. Plus, you can also grate a bunch of zucchini bread at once (preferably with a food processor), bag it in 2 cup portions and then have zucchini ready for baking and cooking with all...
Only the Dutch
We had a totally new experience today. We went shopping at an outlet center in Europe for the first time. There are a few in Germany that we've driven by or heard about, but we never felt inspired to go to any. If we heard from people about going to them, the response...
