We have some guests coming to stay with us tonight. They are the same people we were travelling with in Italy and they've also helped us with some of the work on the house during the first clean up weekend. Although the house wouldn't have to be spotless for them, I...
I think it’s gonna be a long one
So as I mentioned before, we have some guests coming to stay with us tonight. They are the same people we were travelling with in Italy and although the house wouldn't have to be spotless for them, I still want it to look nice. So I have been cleaning some things up...
She’s a wild one…
Ayla has been full of energy the last couple of days...to say the least. Well, actually she was really tired this morning and barely even seemed to want to go for a walk but after sleeping most of the day, she is raring to go again.We crated her overnight last night...
Jail break
Well if there may have been any doubt in our minds that we are not ready for kids, we proved that to ourselves yesterday. Not only did Mary, our Siamese mix, somehow escape the house, but we managed to leave the door open after finding her and Ayla was apparently...
Is it over yet?
Today was a rather frustrating day for me. On Sunday, we returned home from the new house where we had been working for 4 days and discovered that the charger for our laptop no longer worked. When we plugged it into the wall, no light came on to signify it was working...

Plan for the upcoming weekend

Stealing peaches & turning green again
Last Saturday, we harvested 25 pounds of peaches from a tree in our new backyard...yes, 25 pounds. There would have actually been around 50 but many of them had already fallen to the ground because the tree actually broke due to so much weight from the fruit. So we...

A friend at the new house
We took Ayla for an unusual walk this morning. Instead of heading a couple blocks down from our house and into the fields behind the new house, we decided to try to find a path which we'd seen last weekend with people walking on it. Unfortunately, we didn't come...
