Explorations

You know something isn't right when the guy at church who has managed to employ most people who need employment, wont hire you. Its with events like this that have led us to much contemplation and some serious consideration of what we want in life. Which oddly enough (ya right) isn't what we have been doing, some people might even think it is a little crazy. But hey, if we can figure out a way to make our dreams come true, what's wrong with that. So lately we have been exploring our options, we explore on-line, we explore to the north, and we've explored to the south. Fuzzy likes the rides, she is such a "go" dog. Today she even got a lunch treat. We bought her a hot dog and the lady packaging it threw in some of the bbq scraps from other orders. Oh, was she in fuzzy heaven. She'd polished it off and was licking the container clean in 60 seconds.

I'm starting to get a few free lance jobs. It will be nice when we can start getting some payments. Hubby got a surprise safety bonus from last year. Its not much, but it covers all of our recent dinners parties. Hubby got his favorite meal for Valentines Day (Rouladen, Spaeztle, Rotkohl, und Schwarzwalderkirshtorte). And frankly, it turned out mighty fine. After much practice I'm starting to get the traditional German recipes down, minus the alcohol soaked cake. The missionaries enjoyed it too, except for the one that got transferred yesterday and missed out. But since he was transferred to our old ward, we're fairly certain that he was fed, it wouldn't have tasted as good though.

Question of the day . . . Is it too early to start talking about and planning my yard? Answer . . . No, its never too early, and really folks, start planning your yard in October, then you'll actually be ready to start on it when the weather warms up. Alright, mountain climates can wait till January, since you wont get warm weather until May, but its never too early.
