The Coolest Christmas Gift Ever!

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 20:08:38 GMT

My best friends sent me the coolest Christmas Gift that I’ve ever received. Since I’ve moved to Seattle, I’ve often complained that all of my “comfort foods” are in Rochester. The west coast does not have the Italian influence that the east coast has, so there is no such thing as an excellent pizza, sub or fish fry in Seattle.

For Christmas, Tim and Misty went to my favorite pizza joint in Rochester (Chester Cab pizza) and had them make two, deep dish pizzas which they froze and shipped overnight packed in dry ice.

This is by far the most thoughtful presents I’ve ever received.

One of the pizza’s has “already been enjoyed” and I’m saving the other for a special occasion.

Thank you, guys! You rock!

This week in weather…

Mon, 08 Dec 2003 20:08:38 GMT

Last Wednesday, we had an enormous wind storm. When we woke up, the power was off. When I drove to the end of the driveway on the way to work, I remembered that I had left the garbage can outside and the wind had probably blown it away.

I stopped the car and started to look for the garbage can. After a few moments, I saw that it was over next to a tree branch on the road. Upon further inspection, it wasn’t just a limb, but rather one of our large pine trees that had fallen, broken the fence and was laying across the road.

As we continued to inspect, we found not just one tree had fallen, but rather three enormous pine trees.

Fortunately, none of the trees hit the house, but we were four days without electricity. We made extensive use of the wood fireplace and it will soon be time to buy our first chain saw. . .

New Home, First Day

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 20:08:38 GMT

So, Monday was my first full day in our new home. During the day, I was visited by a family of four raccoons and two deer in the front yard. We are really out in the sticks! :-) It’s pitch dark at night and there is not a sound. We couldn’t be happier. . .

New Home!

Sat, 25 Oct 2003 20:08:38 GMT

Woohoo! It’s official. . . we own a house!

Signed for New Home!

Sat, 18 Oct 2003 16:30:23 GMT

So it’s really happening! On Monday, we sign for the house. It suddenly became real yesterday when a nice young lady called and said “Can you come in on Monday to sign?” When I looked at my watch, there was a brief sense of panic.

So, I finally have a blogger. . . let’s see how this goes!
