Memories in the Making

Well we have almost settled into the house. Finally, the house feels used and full. When we got here, we weren't too sure what to do with all the extra room, well. We figured it out. My mom and step dad are settling in well downstairs. Plus, twice this week I've come home to find dinner already cooked.....HEAVEN!


My tulips are blooming. Turns out the yucky looking brown stuff in the front of the house were roses and tulips. Who knew? I have such a horrible black thumb. I've promised not to touch them so they'll actually grow! I'm in love with this beautiful place.


We decided to terrorize the neighborhood. Yep, we left the house and took the show on the road. Duchess took her bike out for a first spin. The training wheel did not fall off this time, cause The Man put them on right this time. :)

We walked her along the path, the whole way....(note the purty mountains in the background). The Man and Princess kept turning around to keep her company too.




Then Duchess kept running The Man off the sidewalk, turns out when she turns her read to look at something, her bike wonders that way.


But we survived and then worked our way home. Okay, The Man and Princess rode home and brought the truck back as Mimi (my mom) and I were dragging Duchess and the bike home. She had even quit peddling at that point. Luckily, rescue came and we rode the tailgate home.



We enjoyed some fresh strawberries! We worked up quite the appetite. Now odds are good that we would at least pass a few neighbors in our long walk, right? Nope, not a one. Word must have hit the hood real quick that we were out and about. Where do these people spend their time?
