Have I mentioned that Tim finished his PhD? He did, and is now back in medical school for the final two years. Among other things, this means that we have become very, very poor. So poor that I am considering darning Squiggles’ holey socks.*
We are so poor that we don’t have cable television, which in our poor-reception town means that we don’t have television. We are reduced to spending our evenings taking nature walks, skipping rocks on lakes at sunset, and birdwatching. Luckily there is a local venue (a couple blocks from our house) that offers these activities – free!
Someday, when we have real jobs, we will spend our evenings…
… doing the same sorts of things.
*Unfortunately, I missed that day of home-ec. Oh wait, I didn’t take home-ec… I took wood shop instead, which might explain a lot about the state of my house…

This is lovely. It makes me wish we didn't have TV, but alas, Mike cannot live without his ESPN.
p.s. Take it from a Home Economics Sterling Scholar..don't darn her socks, it's totally not worth it.
Very nice.
Joe and I will travel the few miles to go to "that venue" even though he doesn't live in the area any more. It is indeed a lovely prospect!
(Oh, and the days of "poor" won't last forever).
(Oh, and I we don't have a T.V. either. I hear we're not missing much). ;)
TV is boring anyway. I've always thought of you as the type to enjoy the simple things in life. I'm sure you will find plenty of other enjoyable ways to fill your time.
Tim- Congratulations on completing your PhD. That is a real accomplishment. Good luck with your medical school.
It is indeed a beautiful area. The book shelf you made is truly a work of art. Don't apologize! And I understand you don't burn brownies any more! Amelia does not look as though she is suffering one bit.
