Its been about 3 weeks since Kelly moved up to Salem, and we are trying to settle into a normal routine here in Oregon.

Today we did some yard work. It was one of the first days in recent memory that didn’t rain, so it made for a great opportunity to get outside and tidy things up a bit. That included weeding, going on ‘poop patrol’ and firing up our garage sale acquired weed eater.

One other thing we have learned? “As-is” appliances left behind is code word for “this shit is going to break on you.” We had a washer and dryer which have more or less fallen apart after maybe a dozen uses and now have to find a new one. Kind of a bummer.
