Just a bookmark for the blog. My internet time has been consumed with social work research. By the time I've puled out 25 pieces of legislation on veterans and PTSD, I'm pretty unwilling to write more.

Just to say . . . we're happy and healthy, clicking along and exuberant that winter (or the lack thereof) is coming to an end. More light, more playing, more time outside. Soon.

The Happenings


Valentines

Holiday prep. Between the four of us we made over fifty Valentines.


Valentining.

More unseasonably warm weather. 50 degrees today and 4 inches of snow tomorrow. Huh? We'll take it.

Boat improvement #472: HOT WATER!!! We have everything but the faucet (Home Depot sold us one that was incompatible.) Subzero dishes be gone!! We cook enough at home (and eat enough butter) to justify making a small investment in galley sanity. And in the end we'll probably save water, not having to boil gallons of it to melt away the sludge on our dishes in the wintertime.

Got Hot Water?

Hallelujah!

Seriously- it has been a typically busy few weeks, with the boat improvements and the job search (for John), decoding homework on mental health treatments and oppression (for me), building compound words (for Sophie), and attempting to remain in an upside-down position for as many hours of the day as possible (for Rosy). How else would we fill our days?
