Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry

Read More KentuckyWe need a new roof. It’s not an emergency and it’s on the list for 2009. We’re at the current legal limit for number of roof layers, so when we do replace it we need to get all the old layers ripped off. It’ll be a big deal. Zak talked to Nic today and when […]
Read More RoofI’m fairly certain Ellie rolled over for the first time! A bit of background first. I’ve been so overwhelmed and concerned about the challenge of sharing my time between the two girls.

It’s anyway. Guy: I’m with Tru Green Lawn Care and am in your neighborhood to get your lawn set up for the summer. Me: We’re not interested, […]
Read More Tru GreenOne of the two ice cream trucks in our neighborhood just went by. Spring is officially here. I imagine the very loud, verbal disagreements over “ice cream sale zones” between the two vendors will start up any day.

Read More Ice Cream TrucksThe cold weather has broken. It’s in the 60’s, sunny, beautiful. No plans, only to relax outside. And. We’re all sick. No one slept last night. No one has slept yet today. And the whining is loud and constant. And my head hurts. A lot. Elmo’s attempting to keeping Zoe occupied. As well as peanut […]
