This past year or so

It has been WAY too long, but I am back.

As most everyone knows, as of October 2011 we moved (YAY) to another town and into a BEAUTIFUL little apartment. It was a big change from the 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in Eschenbach...but that place was just not for us!

After we got our things from the mover's the spider issue died down, as Justin and I began to feel more at home and began keeping everything fanatically clean. Despite our efforts, there were a lot of un-addressed issues with the house: The sunroof (which had a glass ceiling) had many major cracks, the basement flooded regularly after heavy rain, and smelled awful when it was dry -besides that IT WAS HOT! Justin and I had prepared ourselves for the reality here: there is NO A/C...well, we regretted our choice of home very much because although it let in a great deal of light in and had an "airy" floor plan, it also baked us half to death! Ha ha

Our landlord continued to contact us to get the house ready for regular viewings by prospective buyers...Justin and I were certain that no one would ever see past the multiple, costly issues the house had and purchase it, but someone did! Needless to say, we were thrilled! We offered to vacate in two weeks -or less...our landlord was certain we would need more time than that to find a new place, but I had had one in mind for some time already:


It is a two bedroom/1 bath and we have been here nearly one year now. Our landlord is kind and always enthusiastic to show us around, and we have made a few good friends, that also happen to be neighbors. We three couldn't be happier.






My neighbor and friend Cheri convinced me to begin a vegetable and flower garden this Spring:
3 kinds of Tomatoes

Green Onion

Squash

Lettuce

More lettuce (lol)

Celery

Strawberries

Cucumbers


Justin also put in a small pond recently! I love sitting outside at our patio table and listening to it most evenings. It is very relaxing! :)
This was as far as I was able to dig before I needed help. LOL

We will post our trip pictures, eventually! :)
