Day 8. Six o' clock

Operation: 

Dinner Recovery. 

Again.

Day 7. Drink

I have one drink I love. It is kombucha.

I picked up my first bottle last summer while in Sacramento at Target of all places.

It was strange at first, but it made me feel wonderful.

That's because it is good for you!  

 It is especially helpful for a healthy gut.

 Patrick has been making it for our family since September.

This is our original "mother." She's not all that cute, huh!? 

 THESE are her "babies."

It's quite the production when you make as much as we do!

What is kombucha?

Well, It's fermented tea.

 All you need is Sugar, Tea (we use Herbal Yerba Mate') and a scobie.

 Oh, and time, jars and a warm place.

We use the water heater closet.

In case you were wondering, the kids LOVE it. 

If you ever wan't to try an make your own, we've got scobies to share!

I'll mail it to you. ;) 

Scobies Anyone???

Day 6. Hat.

Today, I finally made Justin wash his hat.

He LOVES it. 

He wears it 

every.

AND 

the fact that I signed my signature about 100 times!

  

We are finally closing on our house on Thursday! 

Hooray!

close-up?!

I wish. 

Right about now I am missing my good camera which died of UNnatural causes a while back. 

The close-up option is out of the question, but we still found something pretty cool! 

A robin is building her next very 

close-up

to our window where we can watch in awe.

It's pretty amazing.

Here she is:

If you can tell from the ghetto picture.

  

Her favorite building material: moss. 

{We've got lots of that around here thank goodness.}

 She has been keeping her eye on us, but rarely stops building her nest! 

At the same time, I am trying to tear apart mine so we can move!

 

Wish us luck!

Believe me, I need it.

DAY 3. ON MY PLATE

 This afternoon we returned home from our whirlwind trip to visit family.

On my "plate:"  

{a wipes lid}

A hard-boiled egg peeling extravaganza! 

Day 2. Empty

While visiting family this weekend in Parma:

Empty Trailer

and

Happy Boy!

He was in heaven.

Day 1. Morning.

I still can't believe it.

Every morning when finally get out of bed, I walk into the living room and see this:


For over 9 months I have lived in this cabin home. It's a crazy old house with electrical problems, high power bills and carpet but WOW, what a view.

I'm so thankful for the days that I actually take the time to notice it.
