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...

Baking overload

It's been a very active morning for me so far. In fact, it's actually almost 1:30 pm now but I feel like it should be time for bed lol. I have spent the entire morning preparing peaches and baking and all that goes along with trying to make sure that 25 pounds of...

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...

Weekend two

The cleaning frenzy has begun again. We finished cleaning out the workshop in the barn and at least have plenty of stuff for all the tools and such that we come across. And some day we'll eventually get around to putting away the things we've found and the stuff we...

Another weekend, another container

Since we filled up the container so quickly last weekend and still have a whole lot more stuff to toss out, we ordered another container for this weekend so we have some place to put some of the remaining junk. I almost can't believe that we're on our second container...
