Update of Random Things

1.  Look at this picture!  Bear tracks in the snow on the steps in our back yard.  I think it's really cool although I'm glad they have only been by at night so far.  There is currently a doe and buck in our front yard and the dogs are going nuts.  The deer, however, are impervious to indoor-dog barking.


2.  It seems that we are buying a house!  We were looking but it was very much on the backburner.  But I got a tip on something last Friday and when we followed up on it, it was the right house at the right time and right price. So now we are jumping through hoops trying to get all the paperwork done in time to meet some tax deadlines.  The one good thing is that we are pushing back the actual move for a while.  I'm totally not looking forward to moving ourselves (a first!) but the good thing is that having to carry all your stuff means you do a better job of de-cluttering, so that will be nice.  Although I am nervous about taking on so much debt, the cool thing is that once the move is completed, we should be better off financially, in our own home, and less cluttered. 

3.  Ellie had a cavity filled yesterday under sedation.  It was totally worth the out-of-pocket expense and I'm glad we could afford it.  She was very proud of how brave she was and spent the entire afternoon sleeping off the drugs.

1) Bears and deer, oh my. The wildest we get are the rabbits. Though I have seen a fox in the area a few months ago.

2) Very cool. Is it in the same area you are in now? If you need a hand, let me know.

3) Very brave girl. Even with sedation.

You ready for the incoming storm?

I hope so. I want to go out today and look for gloves for the kids since we have none. But I think we have enough food and stuff. I heard 6-12 inches

I - would not be able to be sanguine about bears. deer I can handle. Moose I *have* handled. (Not *handle* handle. A juvenile moose turned up in my father's back yard in Maine one year. Not in the country either - in the city! Granted, a Maine city, so small.)

Great news on the house!
