like 1930 that night...

So...I have to apologize to my loyal and numerous readers for not blogging in a long time. Here we go, let's get this started again.

So here's a quick list of what's been going on.
- We're getting settled well here in Canajoharie, NY. Small town life is much different than Jersey but we're digging it.
- Being close to the ADKs is awesome. We've been hiking 10+ times since moving here, not to mention the trails and gorges around our house that we've been discovering and exploring.
- I've been keeping busy substitute teaching which means a little bit of teaching and a lot of reading. I've been devouring books which has been great. Last book finished was "Half Broke Horses" by Jeanette Walls. Really interesting read. A slightly fictional but mostly accurate story of her grandmother who was a rancher, pilot, teacher, and rabble-rouser.
- We went to Michigan a few weeks ago to visit Miriam's family which was a lot of fun.
- We've started composting, sweet and begun making plans for our vegetable garden. We will likely grow some interesting things since we seem to be able to get our staples from a guy around the corner who sells veggies on two card tables out in front of his house. Zucchinis for 10 cents a piece is hard to beat!
- We inherited a mini-van from my parents which has been helpful in moving big stuff around, like the elliptical we also inherited from them. Living close to them again has been great. We invited ourselves over for dinner the other night and plan on doing it a lot in the future.

Ok, plenty more has happened but I need to be off to sub for the afternoon!
