From the cabin

Hey everyone, I'm back on the internet and finally updating the blog.  We made it safe and sound Sat. night.  The girls did excellent for 9 hours in the car.  The last hour was the only test--it was rainy and had just turned dark (5-6pm) so the girls couldn't play games and they were done with the car.  I didn't make the DVD player an option and no one asked.  I was very impressed--they played and played with the toys I had along.

I am in a funny place right now because we are in a cute little cabin (I stress both the cute and the little), so are we on vacation or did we move?  My brain is all mixed up, partly also because it is already furnished.

The girls are really into fishing.  For the past month we have been telling Nora we could fish the day we got here, but we didn't do it until Sun.  We actually didn't get outside until it was almost dark, so we fished for 5 minutes at dusk, but we went out again today when it was nice and sunny.  The problem is that the docks are out so the little kiddy poles send the bobber out about 5 feet where the water is only 6 inches deep.  But hey, they are having fun.

We were able to bring a lot of stuff that we don't need now because of the furnishing and we took it to storage today so now we can at least move around the rooms.  We have probably 10-15 boxes in storage and we still have to clear out the porch.  I am happy we were able to get so much here and now I am happy it is getting out of the cabin!

You know you live in a small town when....
OK, I know these situations are going to be happening a lot in the next few months, but here is the first:  I don't know what the garbage service is like in town but here (about 3 miles out--in a neighborhood on the lake--all lake cottages around us) we had to buy special red garbage bags.  We put the garbage bags out on Wed and the mail service picks them up.  So the mail service dubs as the garbage man on garbage day!!!  I think it might be just where we are because there are not that many people on our street--a lot of seasonal people not here.  They remind me of giant red blood bags from a hospital.

I will get better at the blog and I know I need to get some pictures up, but this was a good start.  Right?
