Yesterday we had a meeting with a sales person from a company called Vorwerk. They build all sorts of home appliances and also kitchens. The guy called earlier in the week to set up an appointment but unfortunately never told us how long it would take. I guess I...
Back to the house
It's been several weeks since our last visit to the house but today we will finally be going back and spending the night at the farm. We have a meeting with a kitchen company called Vorwerk. One of their reps happened to be out in the area when we were working on the...
Thankfully it’s starting to dry out
It's been raining since Sunday and unfortunately this is likely how it will be the rest of the year and most of the winter here in Germany. Never fun and certainly not nice to look at or be out in but I know it's worse in other places so I won't complain too much. I...

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...
