Miscellaneous Ramblings

It is hard to believe that we have not posted since Christmas. We have been so busy, but, really, not too much has been happening.

Grace went through a bit of a time with some dental work. As always the teeth demons caught up to her again and she ended up with an infection! But, after time, she is on the mend.

Winter needs to be over! While we did have it pretty good this year, with the mild early winter, I think that spoiled us when the season finally arrived. I typically judge how sever a winter we had based on the number of bills we get from our plow guy. This year, it was only two, it just seems worse. Every winter I always ask, "why do we live here" and since no one answers, we press on. Of course, waking up this morning to another 3 inches of fresh snow doesn't help. It is tough to ride the Harley in this stuff! Did I mention that winter needs to be over? Moving on...

After 11 months on the market, my parents finally sold their house of some 42 years and are moving into a new condo about 2 miles from where they are now. I am sure it is hard to make the transition - so many memories of all of us growing up there and all, but as with everything else in life, change is always good. They are moving this week, so Grace and I are headed out there today to give them a hand.

I have been ridding the house of some non-essentials over the past few weeks by ebaying items. (Is ebaying a word?) While I am not a big buyer of things on ebay, as I devote my time to selling, I do find the process incredibly efficient and so much better than a garage sale. It is equally amazing what people will pay for someone elses stuff!

Grace and I are headed to warmer climates this weekend by visiting Patrick and Kate in North Carolina. It is hard to believe that they have been gone for 6 months and we have not had the time to see there new abode - other than a short You Tube tour. We are very excited to be going.

Tempted by some warm weather we had this week, I dug out one of the Harley's and fired it up. Sadly, the roads are just too wet, salty and sandy to risk the ride, so I drove up and down the driveway just to get the wind in my hair feeling. And, it felt good.
